You've sampled possibly the best it has to offer, and unfortunately there is not much more to choose from... I haven't watched the movie yet :(. Maybe I will if I can lay my hands on a decent copy around here. Welcome to the world of contemporary Tamil literature.

Just felt the same thing 2 weeks ago. I am extra-proud because I have never learnt Tamil at school - so I had to work really hard at reading literature in the language. My mom mailed me the book grumbling that the postage cost more then the book. what can I say it is so worth it except the last chapter which I simply could not digest. I thought the movie ending was bad - this was worse but forget that..... Have you seen the movie? You must have. A friend who heard me go on and on said " Oh, you have fallen in love with Lakshmi, haven't you?". can't think of anyone else who could have carried it of so well..
