I’ve been doing a little more research on The God of Small Things because I’ll be leading the discussion of it for BookAwards starting September 1st.
In my earlier review (if you can call it that), I stated that I was confused about something in the last couple of chapters in the book. I sort of had a “Did what I think happen, happen?” moment. My suspicions were confirmed. I haven’t rated the novel yet, nor really written an adequate review of it because 1) I want to discuss several issues with my book group without giving things away, and 2) I don’t know how in the world I’m going to rate this book with this certain event taking place in the second to last chapter.
This novel is definitely one that will generate discussion. I can’t say I liked it, but, surprisingly, I can’t say I hated it, either. I have NO IDEA how to give this book a rating, but after our group discussion, I’ll attempt one with at least some stab at a better book review as well.
