The Painter of Signs by R.K. Narayan

• Loveable characters? No

1.5

fine, maybe i'm harsh on it because my school thought it would be a good book to get 13 year olds interested in literature. needless to say it did not work. i'll admit i haven't read it since (but that's also why i gave it an extra .5 stars, as a little compromise).

what i do remember is texting my friends furiously about how much i hated raman every lit class, though. i don't think i liked daisy much more. the book was a chore.
