A fair and balanced review would conclude that if you are conservative minded, prudish, not interested in music/popular culture and too sensitive to palate Asians engaging in homosexuality and drugs then the Buddha of Suburbia will hold no interest and maybe even repulse.
However if you're progressive & open minded in outlook, have a sense of humour, appreciate pop music/pop culture while also interested in the socio/political climate of late 1970s Britain and beyond, then this is the book for you - regardless of whether you're a `self-proclaimed liberal' or anything else. (Reviewed by a British Asian who could in fact relate to the book).
