THE WHITE TIGER
One of the best book that i’ve read. This kind of genre is my favorite, not that I enjoying people’s struggle but I like to learn a lesson, life leasson from the group of people persepctive. I don’t enjot the motivational speach on how or what should we do to be a rich or respected. I’ve read the book before I know that it has been filmed in Bollywood, haven’t watch it but I think I prefer the books. And I think I read it on Scribd.
This book give us many deep message that poverty is real and not only in India. The gap between the rich and the poor are widener. Not lying that everyone wanna be rich but there is a structure that should be repair to help them reach their dream.

The White Tiger
Balram Halwai is a complicated man. Servant. Philosopher. Entrepreneur. Murderer. Over the course of seven nights, by the scattered light of a preposterous chandelier, Balram tells us the terrible and transfixing story of how he came to be a success in life—having nothing but his own wits to help him along.
Born in the dark heart of India, Balram gets a break when he is hired as a driver for his village’s wealthiest man, two house Pomeranians (Puddles and Cuddles), and the rich man’s (very unlucky) son. From behind the wheel of their Honda City car, Balram’s new world is a revelation. While his peers flip through the pages of Murder Weekly (“Love — Rape — Revenge!”), barter for girls, drink liquor (Thunderbolt), and perpetuate the Great Rooster Coop of Indian society, Balram watches his employers bribe foreign ministers for tax breaks, barter for girls, drink liquor (single-malt whiskey), and play their own role in the Rooster Coop. Balram learns how to siphon gas, deal with corrupt mechanics, and refill and resell Johnnie Walker Black Label bottles (all but one). He also finds a way out of the Coop that no one else inside it can perceive.
