Genre #7 -- Thriller
Kim by Rudyard Kipling
read 6/16/2010 - 6/21/2010
This was a fun book (a slow read for me, but fun, nonetheless). I loved seeing the country of India through Rudyard Kipling's eyes. His portrayal of the various castes and religions (Hinduism, Buddhism, Catholicism, Islam, and spirit worship) especially interested me. The story line, though it didn't move as quickly as I would have liked, was also fun: street boy grows up to become a secret agent. The book took on an added charm for me when my dad told me that he remembered reading and enjoying Rudyard Kipling's book in high school.
This book was part of my 2010 summer reading program.
