Its a cracking read alright. Go the gangster! I felt almost balmy reading it. He describes the city stickiness to a tee.

I don't think it is that good; and I really disliked him throughout.
He stayed in the 'traveller' thing all the way through.
Why is that out of all the women in Bombay he only 'met' whites?
Is it supposed to be true.
