If this is the direction commercial Indian English fiction is taking, I am very proud! The book flows through quickly, does not get boring, and is rather busy and eventful. Things keep happening. I liked it. Captures the psyche of testosterone-driven high school kids quite well, as well as that of life in the 'wild north'. As for his depiction of Banaras, which I've never visited, I am not the best judge of.
I say this with no trepidation, I would have complimented this book even if it weren't written by an acquaintance from college. There's quite a bit of good in this book.
If I have to critique something: The writer should have gone easy on the capitals and the italics.
Full disclosure: the writer was my junior at Bschool. I paid full market price to buy the book, was not requested by the writer or publishers to write this review.
