The God of Small Things is a book that is written like a metaphor. It seems that each sentence captivates me in its rhythm, in its smooth flow, alluring me with the juiciness of each sentence. The pictures that Arundhati Roy paints in my mind are so thick and rich, I feel like I could taste them. I love the way in which she describes things such as, "To Ammu, her twins seemed like a pair of small bewildered frogs engrossed in each other's company, lolloping arm in arm down a highway full of hurtling traffic." It describes so much in so little words, and she does this constantly throughout the book. It is a new style of writing that i've never encountered before and am enjoying its lushes words, and dramatic and depict scenery!
