" As a work written in his time, this is truly ground-breaking. It is well written (hence the reason it's a classic!) and the characters are developed in a most believable way. What I did not like was the fact that I couldn't relate, and therefore couldn't empathise with any of them. Not that surprising I suppose. Even so, I felt as though this novel was more of a work of art than a 'good read'. Aside from the court case, not a whole lot happened, and, through my own personal choice, I don't like that in a book, or a film either, come to that. I didn't leave the book with a feeling that something had been resolved, or dwelling on the characters, but it did make me think about colonial India, and all its consequences. "
