Book Reviews of The Buddha of Suburbia
Book Review: Funny and moving: growing up and escape from suburban hell.
Summary: 4 Stars
Kureishi takes us into the world of Karim Amir, (or Creamy Jeans to his friends) gangly teenager from the South London suburbs, and we share his pained but witty observations of his family and neighbours. The humour cuts across all racial differences as it's a lot to do with adolescence and dysfunctional families, but this book will kill you with laughter if you grew up in the suburbs.
