How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia by Mohsin Hamid
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

My third Mohsin Hamid book. I'm giving it a 3-1/2 stars in my Reading Log. I liked the narrator's voice overall, very chatty and witty. Quite a bit tongue-in-cheek, with a good dose of cynicism, the narrator outlays the challenges and difficulties of a fictitious person in a fictitious rapidly expanding Asian city (in South Asia) who is attempting to get ahead in life. The vagaries and ups & downs of life in the so-called Third World, with its corruption, cultural clashes, traditions, and fast-changing pace of life. Borrowed from the library.
