Photo CreditI booked the White Tiger by Arvind Adiga, this years Man Brookers winner the day it was announced.
I was very anxious to read it. More so, as the last book I read which was a Booker prize winner was the life of Pi by Yan Martel. It had the strongest impression on me. For long I have not read such a book on the strength of human will to survive against all odds. It was a thriller but not the typical thriller we know. I was amazed.
So I wanted to read the white tiger by Adiga.
I booked it on net the day the award was announced and paid by credit card. I did some quick search in Internet to find out which online book company in India has the lowest price. I searched in indiaplaza, rediff, indiatimes etc . I found one company called NBC India has a price of Rs276/- So I booked it.
No reply from NBC for 4 days. Then I tried to contact them on phone (digged from Internet), I spent the whole day but no body was lifting the phone.
I sent an email enquiring my order. In reply they said the book is out of print and not available. They will send me the book when a new print comes. They also mentioned that this book is not available anywhere in India.
I replied them with a stern mail telling that the book is indeed available in India, I have seen it on bookshops and I want my refund. Immediate refund.
The book became all of a sudden available with NBC and I received it at my residence after 2 days!
You can make your conclusion!
Yesterday I have finished reading the book.
I plan to write my review soon.
I will not read any other review before I write my review. I do not want to be influenced by others. I want to give my true feelings on the book.
So keep an watch on this blog for review on “The White Tiger” by Arvind Adiga.
