About this listen
British Book Awards, Author of the Year, 2009.
Man Booker Prize, Fiction, 2008.
Balram Halwai is the White Tiger - the smartest boy in his village. Too poor to finish school, he has to work in a teashop until the day a rich man hires him as a chauffeur, and takes him to live in Delhi. The city is a revelation. Balram becomes aware of immense wealth all around him, and realizes the only way he can become part of it is by murdering his master.
The White Tiger presents a raw and unromanticized India, both thrilling and shocking.

Excellent Book. Needs A better Narrator
The narrator could have made the audiobook so much more engaging, if she would have know ho to pronounce certain local dialects correctly.

Excellent book. Iffy narration.
The book is really good. But the narration leaves a lot to be desired. The narrator should be able to pronounce the names of people, places, things properly. Given that she has an Indian name, one thought the pronuciation would be accurate but it appalling and detracts from the enjoyment the narration would otherwise bring. Also, perhaps the narrator should be a male. The book is, after all, written in a male voice.

narration could have been better
narrator pronounced a few words, including people's or city names, that distract the listener from the story line. the Indian accent adopted by the narrator felt unconvincing and unnecessary. also the accent vanished towards the end of the book.

Worth reading
The novel depicted the true story of rural and urban India. A slapstick idea of life and its struggles.
