wats d criteria for Booker Prize selection????


dunno why i bought this book... i have never, repeat, never liked any of the Booker award winners... Booker nominations -yes, but winners - no... yet i picked up this book... the summary was vague and i knew that i am gonna hate this book...

but lo behold... wat ever be my aversion towards Booker Winners, i just couldn't put this book down.. cant say i loved this book, but yeah its sort of page turner...

This is a story of Balram Halwai aka Munna.. and he transforms himself from a man from Darkness to a Start-up in Blore... Here by Darkness he means his own village...

We can sense the rejection, poverty, untouchability and every other feeling attached to below PL people... i come to have a Love-Hate relationship with Munna.... i like him for his dreams but i hate him for the way he chose to build his dream castle ultimately...


Note to Self: Never! and i mean Never pick a Booker prize winning novel ever again...
