Six Suspects by Vikas Swarup
4.0
3.5 stars and a night of no sleep.
I 'accidentally' picked this up as I was dusting my bookshelf and noticed that I have this book for ages but haven't read. I thought of just flipping through a few pages for a quick break. The rest's history and so too my vacuuming. So cliche...
I'm not good in doing reviews and I think with 400plus people discussing about this book are enough to give any new guy what to expect. I just want to put here my reaction to the book. It was fun and engaging, sometimes depressing with a tint of hopelessness. It was mysterious enough for my mind to keep going but not too complicated that would make me want to continue with my other unfinished books.
The highlight suspect was that poor Page guy from Waco. He was soo 'stereotypical stupid American' that made me cringe everytime he's on. But kudos to Swarup- You scored one against all those corny and cheesy Asians we got from some western authors.
