review 1: I read this book because it's the pick this month for my bookshop's children's book club, which I will be running tomorrow. Unfortunately, it left a bit to be desired. It was well-written, and there were some touching moments, but for the most part I felt quite frustrated at the lack of real story going on, and sometimes even a little bored. Although you feel sorry for Kunal, the main character, his dramatic behaviour was tiring at times. These letdowns with the plot are a shame, because as mentioned, the writing is lovely and the description of Kunal's life in Bombay/Mumbai is vivid and eye-opening.
review 2: I really enjoyed the begining of this book,i had to do a little reseach before reading it, but still liked it.It gave a real review of world outside of o... moreur homes.The system for delivering tiffin was really amazing.But i thought the ending was a bit of a let-down.it felt like the author tried to fit all the stories answers in 2 small chapters.It was like waiting in line for an awesome rollercoaster then finding out your not old enough to ride it.I would have given the book a lower rating but i really liked the begining so 3 stars. less
