Both novels blend together a good mix of characters and themes accompanied by the setting. Both novels are highly advanced pieces of literature that would be for more advanced readers. These two novels are extremely similar in a variety of ways due to the plot and storyline, but don't be fooled, these two novels are different and hold a sense of originality. Between these two complex pieces of literature, a sense of connection is experienced. V.S. Naipaul is a very complicated writer that loves to overload his writings with a tremendous amount of meaning. However, he tends to overload a small observation with too much meaning, making small things seem bigger than they seem and at times causing confusion.
