Case of Exploding Mangoes

Just finished reading this book by Mohammed Hanif - definitely worth the 2 weeks rent :)
Am not the best reviewer around, least of the reasons being that am far too lazy... but what I will say about the book, is that I did not expect to like it a lot. To be honest, I thought it was going to be one of those books that everyone raves about - half because it's cool, and the other half because they don't want to be uncool. Instead, it was simple, straightforward language.. tongue-in-cheek humor... and above all, a very impressive flow that naturally led from one page to the next.
As always, the debut novel is always a writer's best work. Am yet to be proved otherwise :)
