trance Exit the first success is proof that not everyone knows bear. When he was just 11 years old I got a 10 in mathematics, a discipline traditionally , if you can talk about traditions if you have only 11 years, was not mine. Perhaps because suddenly I found the logic, perhaps because someone could explain me well or because stars aligned in a special way. Whatever it was, 10 in mathematics, the first caused unbearable pressure before the next test. That the following note was 8 came as a shock. The note was good, better than the average of the previous reviews, but the fall of the drawer of perfection made me taste like dust. In any case, the pressure to stay on excellence had fallen and with that freedom I could spend studying as usual and forget about the stars.
So I can understand what had to be the writing of Six suspects to Vikas Swarup. The Indian diplomat profession is not novel. It's more a hobby, historically widely shared by members of the diplomatic career, which ended by farm a success and global visibility. With his first novel Slumdog Millonare or Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? , received all sorts of praise. The success of the film based on the novel made them multiply their sales. And before that 10, Swarup continued writing.
Six suspects is his second novel and stars, again, in India today. Yes, the protagonists are six, as the title suggests, Swarup but he wanted to teach all corners of India through them. This last sentence, which could be the slogan of any travel document certain appeal, it becomes the worst slab that could be made to this novel. Swarup is determined to take us to places and situations that force the story of the six suspects unnaturally. One has the feeling, while reading, that there are pages and pages where we have lost the time just to tell anecdotal. As an account of any enlightened solidarity that becoming unemployed decides to go to India to find himself and makes you say "poor but as good people," Swarup is responsible to show that the poor often are not fools and that poverty often has many faces. Interesting bit trite and archetypal, I notice.
But if we are to fully evaluate Six suspects will be forced to look beyond these blunders typical of a writer who, despite age and despite the success of initial public is beginning in this of the novel. The story it tells is a good detective story. A man, rich, powerful and corrupt, has been murdered in his house during the celebration of a party and the Indian police have detained six people present in it and carrying a weapon. From here, Swarup tells the stories of the six suspects in an original and attractive.
On the one hand we have a mobile thief in the slums of the city. Her story is presented in the present tense and first person, as if we were inside his head. The second suspect is the father of the murdered. This character is the Minister of Interior of an Indian state, corrupt politician and murderer on their own. His story is told through the conversations he has with many followers, leaders and other political figures and the Indian underworld. And we have two.
The female of the plot is one of the stars of Bollywood, who know through his diary. As a counterpoint, we have a native of a small island in the Indian newcomer to the continent and absolutely fascinated and dazzled by civilization, whose story is told in the classical and correct. Van and four.
The last two positions of the suspects shared an American who represents the deepest part of the United States, Texas and redneck, who by a series of coincidences come to India soon to start a new life, and whose expressions countryside I will mourn with laughter and an old secretary of the Indian ministry, vicious and evil which, by a series of coincidences, he has introduced the spirit of Gandhi's personality causing him problems.
addition, the novel is divided into several blocks of chapters that make it exciting. On one side are the chapters on "Presentation", which would become the traditional 'approach. " After explaining the "Mobile" each of the suspects, one by one, the "knot." And finally, the "Showdown", through which are played with money and little recontragiros contragiros and expected to end final.
A dilapidante Despite the criticism of the novel that has been done at the beginning of this entry, Swarup's book is recommended, especially for those who like crime novels to use. If a little disappointed is simply because we know positively that you have a little better care of the account details which are absolutely unnecessary, the aftertaste of his reading would have been very different. As it is, you end up thinking that reading sometimes has had to make an excessive effort for the awards that offers the end. But either way, you can enjoy and at the end reading each of the phones, the game thinking about how and who has been murdering the dead is really fun-which is the minimum that you can ask a detective novel.
may not be a book for a 10, as sales gained acceptance in his first novel, but Six suspects is a book of between 6 and 7, just above the average of others that were written by professional literature. What is not bad for a diplomat.
