A review by bexyhaack
The Lives of Others by Neel Mukherjee

2.0

Really a painful read, absolutely took ages to finish and had to skim chapters in the end to get there (ironically I still got the gist of the story so I think an edit was required). Too much interchange between characters so whenever you got momentum, it stalled. Took too long to try to bring the story together and in the end I don't think this was achieved. If you want revolutionary writing, stick with A Fine Balance....it keeps heart at the centre.
