Rated Chinaman: The Legend of Pradeep Mathew 8/10

This is a long novel, and because I'm not overly familiar with Sri Lanka or cricket, I would sometimes think, <i>I'm not sure what he's talking about or what exactly is going on</i>, yet I was enjoying myself. It takes a special sort of outstanding writer to make a non-sport person love reading 400 pages filled with it. Karunatilaka imbues W.G.'s voice with a subtle humor throughout, even as the man's health deteriorates.<br><br>(My full review can be found at <a href="http://glorifiedloveletters.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-legend-of-pradeep-mathew-by-shehan.html">Glorified Love Letters</a>.)
