Mistry is an amazing writer. He really paints a picture of the bittersweet nature of life. Unfortunately, the book ended on more of the "bitter" than the "sweet," but still a very, very good novel.

I enjoyed this book.
I found the accent of the reader rather annoying - especially the Hindi words

I almost gave up on this book so many times because it is so slow paced, depressing and in a way, boring.
I’m glad I stuck it out because the ending was a bit better but it’s definitely not a book I looked forward to reading.
I loved the boys characters and felt the torment of Narimans life. I think the characters were strong and I understood each one however the plot (and lack thereof) made me struggle to read it.
