Tera’s Reviews > Behind the Beautiful Forevers: Life, Death, and Hope in a Mumbai Undercity > Status Update

I cant read this book. It's just not what I expected. It tells the story of the slums in India, but....it doesn't give you the feel. I wanted a depressing story about a garbage sorter who survives in poverty in a Mumbai slum. I wanted to cry, to be discussed. I got a story that doesn't bring me to the point of misery in which these people actually live. It's to upbeat, they've got to much figured out.
