I really enjoyed the first portion of this book, "A tiger for Malgudi". I found it to be incredibly interesting as it followed the pov of a tiger. I think this opened up so much in terms of themes. I was hooked from the beginning. The second story was a lot more slow paced and I struggled to get through because the first story was so riveting.

 finished half of man-eater and DNFed afterwards. I found that nothing was happening in the story - the pacing was too slow, the narrator too reluctant to do anything about the problem that is vasu.
