completely explains what is to born in rural India
narrator is amazing. loved the narration.
it's a kind of thriller where the hero is not a ethical person.

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.

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.

Story is nice but bad narration
The story is good but the narration is really bad. It was very difficult to keep with her pronunciation.I am not talking about her English words pronunciation. All the Indian city names,indian names,street names were so badly pronounced that it became kind of annoying. Also her change of accent to a strange accent for other charecters was also really bad

Poor performance
For an Indian novel I would at least expect the narrator to get the words accurately pronounced. She couldn't even pronounce Gaya and Laxmangarh correctly. Expected a better listening experience
