Blistering satire on India's economic miracle which, through the eyes of a lowly chaffeur, exposes many of the truths behind the hype. It gripped me pretty much from the first page, I also found the insight into India & its culture interesting as it's not something I knew much about before. The skeptic in me always doubts the praise heaped on books nominated for various awards but I couldn't argue with the awards this one has garnered (the Man Booker prize 2008), consequently it's a 5 out of 5 from me too.
