has anyone read the Booker Prize winner?

Has anyone read The Inheritance of Loss by Kiran Desai (daughter of Anita)? It won the Man Booker Prize, much to my diasappointment (but only because I invested my time on Sarah Waters' The Night Watch).

The thing is, I could read the 15,000 odd reviews on the web, but it just might deplete my appetite for Booker books. I'd rather hear what readers like me have to say - I'd really appreciate your response.


Anyhow, another one for the lengthy reading list.

Someone must have read it or it wouldn't have been awarded the Booker Prize ... Oh, hang on a minute ... I've seen these academics award prizes to non-worthy books before ...
