book review : The White Tiger
I have always wanted to pen down a book review. Its something that has always been on my to-do list , but either I laze or I don't feel like imposing my ideas on others . I would rather others read themselves, whichever book they want to and form their own ideas. I never recommend too.
Now, before reading this Man Booker lauded author's novel, I made up my mind to draft a review after all.
Having finished it only a few minutes ago, I don't think I have words for this. No!
Its a story that we all know, have heard and seen. The back cover is full of reviews of newspapers and magazines describing it as dark, humorous and real. It is.
So, having no particular favorite genre, I read it. You may read it as well .
Yes, I loved it. ( as I'm supposed to voice an opinion in a review, that's all I've got to say)
There's one section of book report that I like- that describes the literary figures used .
In The White Tiger, format is of a letter written to an unknown, a famous somebody. I love this style! It brings that anecdote sense and shows the human nature of feeling home with someone you look up to. Cool!
In-fact I've seen this movie Bandslam, in which the hero mails his favorite band's lead star about his everyday encounters!
Second thing, the protagonist in the novel mentions many a times that he used a certain sentence ,he had learnt from his ex employer's wife, whenever he heard certain things. When, in the middle of the story, he actually reveals the sentence he had learnt and used now and then, it made me go back all the way to page 1 and other pages and re-read what "certain" things he had heard when he uses that sentence. Now that's beauty!
Lastly, I always wonder why books have more than one covers? I mean like these two for the same novel......

for all lazy birds like me..;)
BRUNO MARS - THE LAZY SONG :
Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything
I'm gonna kick my feet up then stare at the fan
Turn the TV on, throw my hand in my pants
Nobody's gon' tell me I can't
I'll be lounging on the couch just chilling in my Snuggie
Click to MTV so they can teach me how to dougie
'Cause in my castle I'm the freaking man
Oh yes, I said it, I said it
I said it 'cause I can
Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything
Nothing at all, nothing at all
Tomorrow I'll wake up, do some P90X
Find a really nice girl, have some really nice sex
And she's gonna scream out
This is great
(Oh my god, this is great)
Yeah, I might mess around
And get my college degree
I bet my old man will be so proud of me
But sorry pops, you'll just have to wait
Oh yes, I said it, I said it
I said it 'cause I can
Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything
No, I ain't gonna comb my hair
'Cause I ain't going anywhere
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
I'll just strut in my birthday suit
And let everything hang loose
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything
Nothing at all
Nothing at all
Nothing at all
Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone
