Loved it! Thanks god it is the longest book in English, because I really enjoyed it. Full of memorable characters drawn with humanity and humor. Such a huge book, and so much ground covered.

Accidentally listened to the BBC radio adaptation of the book, which was fairly enjoyable but difficult to follow at times.

Format is difficult to listen to. Background sounds are loud. Voices are low. The story is disjointed. And it is boring.

Took me almost a month to tackle this one - I will admit to skimming probably 300 of the 1500 pages that delved into the political subplot - but -overall enjoyed it.

This is hands down one of the best books I’ve ever read. I can’t believe it’s over! Lata is one of my new favorite characters and I loved learning about the history and politics of Indian during this time as well. The book is long but worth every page. 10/10
