Reason read: This was my TBR takedown from the 1001 list for March. It is the first book that I have read by this author. He is a British Pakistani author and the story is said to autobiographical. It is the coming of age of a mixed race boy who is growing up in Britain. He is British. His father is Indian and his mother is British.
I think the author did a good job of writing though I could have done without all the sexual explicit details that was included. It reads like a novel, not a lecture or a book that is trying to get all the right t's crossed.
