Helpful Score: 1

I read at least two books a week, and have done so for over 50 years, and The God of Small Things has remained in my top 5 books of all times list since I first read it. The book is brilliant, poetically written, haunting, guaranteed to cast a spell over you. It is not an easy read, and in fact, you may struggle a bit while reading it to figure out what's going on, but that's partly the author's author's intention, to keep you wondering and emotionally involved. I also found that reading some of the articles and guides regarding the book online to be very helpful and to enhance my reading of the book. This is a do-not-miss book, truly a classic of the late 20th century, and worth the patience it may take when you start reading to get used to the author's style. My highest recommendations.
