 Well written trash April 1, 2008

What else would you come to expect from a hippie who views India as a cesspool of drugs and other ways to get high?
The sad part is, its morons like this author who use India as an emotional dumping ground and have the gall to complain about a culture that is rich. Ofcourse, we have our own challenges of corruption, greed, crime, by that arguement which country doesn't have? But to be stereotypical of this is not right, as it can have unintentional repurcussions.
For example: I remember watching the movie 'Midnight Express' and thankfully i had some turkish friends who set right my understanding and the inherent flaws the movie had about life over there.
This book comes of at best as a silly representation of what life is over in India. Yes, there were some chapters and situations that were amusing, but the simple part is, make an attempt at better research of understanding our culture.
not surprised that this person is australian.
Garbage: 2 stars.

Great book gives insight to the lifestyle and philosophies within the Indian culture. The book is about one woman's experience living in India. Well written, an easy page turner.

I, like the author, have been seduced by India.
The self-deprecating charm with which she reveals her gradual awakening to the wonders of India, and her interactions with the people around her, are amusing and heartfelt.
I loved this book, and I loved her.

Just like the author S.McDonald, who gradually falls in love with India, this book initially made me feel very offended to read how she describes India but gradually I overcame those feelings and started enjoying the book. Once I went past first 25 pages I too started enjoying the insiders view and insights that this Australian writer could capture in this well-written witty book. A great read and very informative about current life in India from Kashmir to Kanyakumari.
One of my all time favorites! February 12, 2008

This book was just a joy to read. Refreshingly honest, funny and poignant all at the same time. I love India, and I think the author did a wonderful job of doing it justice. I Would highly recommend this book.
