The White Tiger is the life story of Balram Halwai living in modern day India and gives the reader an account of his life on how he became a successful entrepreneur by lying, cheating and even killing his way to the top. While this sounds like this would be drama driven book, which it is to some extent, The White Tiger keeps you reading even though you know from the back cover that Balram eventually kills his employer, he is a driver for a wealthy family. Personally, I consider this book to be a dramady as even though there is a tragedy around the corner, Aravind Adiga still has you laughing at little wittisms and descriptions of everyday life in India told through the eyes of a working class citizen.
