"The Gods of Small Things" has already created a setting that is susceptible to lead to tragic and pivotal events, making it very enticing visually and literally. Because of its vivid descriptions of the tragedies that have already befallen on the family, such as the death of Sophie Mol, have made this book especially eye-catching, despite the difficulty in keeping up with the constant change of time and the great amount of characters. With its proficient use of metaphors and colorful descriptions, it is difficult not to want to continue reading. I am very excited about finishing this promising novel, and look forward to what looks to happen in the near future.
