0/10 (DNF) - The God Of Small Things by Arundhati Roy
Category: Fiction/
Publisher: Flamingo; New Ed edition (5 May 1998)
ISBN-10: 0006550681
ISBN-13: 978-0006550686
Inspired/Suggested by: Third attempt.
Synopsis: Set against a background of political turbulence in Kerala, this novel tells the story of twins Esthappen and Rahel. Amongst the vats of banana jam and heaps of peppercorns in their grandmother's factory they try to craft a childhood for themselves amidst what constitutes their family.
Hard work, wooly, pretentious, long, long similes that ramble off into the blue yonder. Seemingly embodying everything I dislike about Booker Prize nominees I fall into the Haters camp on this one. Did Not Finish = 0/10. (For a reminder of the scale used please see my profile.)
