Filled with bizarre characters and several threads for the storylines, but why anyone would consider this a science fiction, or even a fantasy, novel is beyond me.
I enjoyed the book and will probably read more of John Irving, but it is not an easy read.

If you like John Irving, I think you may like this. It reads like a murder mystery and of course there are bizarre characters.
Helpful Score: 4
I am a huge fan of Irving's but this was just not very good.
Helpful Score: 2
Not an easy read, but worth the effort. The story of a man born in India, schooled in Vienna, living in Toronto who never feels like he belongs anywhere. It's as colorful as a silk sari.
Helpful Score: 1
I enjoyed the book, it was not like anything I had read before. The novel is not about India but there is lots of take of India, also broken sexual boundaries.
