I liked this, much to the chagrin of the huge number of folks who have rated it poorly! The majority of the book was funny, cynical, and planted us firmly in Indian culture. I could have done wothout the heavy-handed god-talk, but if you can deal with that, it was a cute book.

It's not great literature, but it is entertaining enough, with engaging characters. Ultimately, though, it's really more of cultural interest.

This was a fantastically weird book. Loved it.

For a book whose premise was _suddenly they get a call that changes everything_ having the call last like 2 pages is the dumbest thing I've ever read.
I honestly never write reviews but I just had to say this:
It's so bad I want to give you a zero, but that's not possible. So I give you a one.

I am torn between not liking this book and thinking it was ok. My main problem with this was not the involvement of God, but the writing. I am a huge fan of writing styles, and this did not have any to begin with. If an author goes with a first person narration, s/he needs to make sure that the voice is unique. But the narrator in this had the same voice as the narrator from 2 States, which is the only other book of the author I've read.
Overall verdict: meh.
