How else could this novel end? I enjoyed reading this during travel. I laughed out loud so much on the plane! I'd definitely read Adiga's other novel. Some of Danny's experiences, I share, others, I don't. So it was both a learning experience for me as well as having the pleasure of identifying myself through the text.

Minor: Murder
The threat of deportation plays a huge role in this novel. Don't read if that is problematic for you.samsearle's review against another edition
