Black Leopard Red Wolf by Marlon James @penguinrandomhouse @penguinindia
My experience with this book is mixed. Set in the backdrop of Ancient Africa, the story has elements of witchcraft, mythology, adventure, enchantments and many more. From Shape-shifting leopards, Hyenas to 300-year-old which, Tracker who is known for his nose and other such unique characters make for the central characters in the book.
A mismatched gang, each dangerous over the other and yet known for their uniqueness are in search for a boy. Each weaving their own story surrounding the mysterious boy they are in search off.
The language that the author has used in certain portions in the book is a bit raw. Emotions expressed in the story are different and unpolished. The author expressed everything explicitly in black and white through the voice of his characters.
I won’t deny that storyline was definitely a good one, written in a narrative style, the reading was a bit dry in certain parts, especially the beginning and towards the fag end of the book.
I took me some time to finish reading this book due to reading slump. Hope I come back to my normal speed
I would rate the book

I felt like this narrative dragged a bit as well, but it was impressive in scope and I loved the mythology base.
