Local Monsters by Samit Basu: quick take

Local Monsters by Samit Basu grips you instantly and is unputdownable, partly in the hope of seeing the first character, Latex Latha, live up to her name, writes Yashica Dutt.

The Book: Local Monsters by Samit Basu

The gist: Four monsters (read: superheroes) are brought together to build an army to fight evil.

One-line review: The book grips you instantly and is unputdownable, partly in the hope of seeing the first character, Latex Latha, live up to her name.

Read it if you liked: X-Men or any superhero comic/graphic novel.

But Caution: There is a dubious twist after which the story rushes to finish itself.

The best line: “Everyone hates Delhi in the first year”
