A different Look

I read a new book recently, Riots by Shashi Tharoor.
Why do I call it a new book considering that I don't re-read books?
Because I have never read a Tharoor's book before, so that's a new author.
I also call it new because I never read something with a style of writing as such.
New because I never read a love story when I was expecting a story about riots.

I like the idea of a small town, the idea of basing on real characters.

But there was one thing I did not distinctly like. But I would not like to make a judgement openly. All I would like to say is that I did not understand how someone who hates something so vehemently do the same thing and end the story expect to earn sympathy for it.

May be I m idealistic or just judgmental!
