I don’t like all the bits with Karla. I feel like Lin should’ve pined for a considerable amount and not just given her a snog on page 200. He was supposed to be experiencing the real India! Everything is setting itself up for a quest! And then he goes ohh Karla give us a kiss and that’s irritating.
Politicial intrigue, good, side quests good. I miss my friend Prakbaker something awful.

I have been reading this off and on since I was roughly 20- picked it up in my boyf’s dad’s house and STOLE IT.
I actually am quite enjoying this as it goes. I plan to finish it in the next month, putting seven years of reading to rest, finally.
The narrator/author/self-insert really toes the line of wanker, but I have a high tolerance for male arrogance. Doesn’t really bother me.

Every time I come back to this book after a break I’m sucked in and I can remember exactly where I left off. I wonder if this is a film?
