I did not enjoy this book at all. I get that the author wanted to show the reality of poverty in India, which I found very interesting to read about, but I still didn’t like how the story of the siblings was developed. I don’t think the story fitted the message that the author wanted to give at all.
The ending felt like reading the bible because of its longevity. If I hadn’t had to read it for college, I would had left it around the page number 100. Besides, there’re so many unnecessary descriptions of EVERYTHING — I bet the book would have had 50 pages less if those were cut out, tbh.
