review 1: I'm more than a little biased because I lived in a dorm with the author my freshman year of college. On the other hand, good fiction is usually wasted on me, so hopefully those biases balance each other out. This book starts out a little slow, but is great when it hits its stride. It's full of subtle comedy and even subtler drama. My only real complaint is that I felt like not being Indian, or at least Indian American, was a handicap in absorbing the full texture of the descriptions and the characters' mannerisms.
review 2: What a spectacular book from a debut article. A seemingly simple subject on a family and its head in a few days is woven into a complex plot that is handled brilliantly, with a wickedly comic streak that keeps the reader entertained..and... more the human element of father son, husband wife and professional life, adolescent crush and a chaotic Indian city, all dealt with remarkable prose and dexterity.A must read for all walks of life, for its hilarious and brilliant portrayal of modern day India. less
