Review
A good book that reads very fast and has a good story. At first i thought the way of writing was a bit strange, because of the letters to the minister, but after a while I really enjoyed reading this book. It has a fun way of showing critic to India and about how bad it is there (corruption etc.) which makes it very nice to read. I absolutely would let other people read this book.
