Title: Drags in parts but brilliantly conveys what it set out to do
Review: A hard hitting book, mostly about the underbelly of Bombay. Suketu has managed to convey a surreal view of the city by getting gangsters, movie moghuls, a transvestite, a beer bar dancer, rogue cops, murderers, even a millionaire-turned-Jain monk to throw open their lives to him. And this ultimately is the strength of the book. While the book drags in parts, most chapters make for a compelling read. The tension of the Ganpati visarjan when it crosses a mosque is almost palpable, such is the power of Suketu's pen. Shades of Naipaul can be seen in Suketu's writing. It is a must-read for all Bombayites and those who wish to learn about the other India.
