Media Reviews
I do not normally recommend crime novels more than 500 pages long, but I am making an exception with Vikas Swarup It's unusual, witty, quirkly, cleverly plotted, intelligent, and along the way it's an informative satire on Indian politics and values...a rollicking good read -- Marcel Berlins * Times *
Gleeful, sneaky fun -- Janet Maslin * New York Times *
Neat, clever and loads and loads of fun * Daily Sport *
A page-turner of a mystery * Waterstones' Quarterly *
Swarup has a redeeming eye for the disparites that define Indian society * Guardian *
