The Ambition: A Novel

A good read but what made it exceptional was the narrator. Rarely does a narrator, who is not the author, do justice to the literature. Here is one of those exceptions. It’s a light read that doesn’t suck you into an emotional roller coaster but will give you the vantage point of an objective proverbial “fly on the wall”. I admit I did well up at times. While the book may seem unfinished if it is the narrative being followed, but it is a story deeper than the superficial following of characters’ experiences. This book is like eating eating flavoured crackers; Satisfying, the aftertaste makes you crave more, leaves you thirsty.
