hmmm lets see. I guess I just didn't like it. It pandered to a western audience too much; to the degree where it explained many 'foreign' things in detail rather than just assuming the audience was mildly intelligent.

Also the other driver always just happened to be at the same places where the protagonist was; always on hand to explain what was going on - it just didn't work for me.

Like I said I'd recommend Sacred Games - it's long but it goes quick and you'll learn a lot about 'modern' India by the end. Also the plot is excellently woven.
