I was given this book as a gift from someone (an Aussie) who had read it and knowing of my deep desire to see India thought I would enjoy it. While it is certainly not what one would deem informative travel literature it does paint a picture, a really nasty, messy, disgusting one. So yes, India...

    I did not like this book. Sarah Macdonald seems to have the typical westerners reaction to India - "Ooh, it's dirty and hot and difficult, and all the men look at me, and I feel so out of place, and I don't like the toilets, and the traffic is really fast and scary, and there are cows and crazy religious stuff" and so on. Basically, she is unlikeable and annoying and you wish she would shut up and try and learn something instead of just freaking out about how weird and difficult India is for someone who clearly has no idea what to expect or how to cope with cultures other than her own.

    Good insight into Indian culture and what it is like for a foreigner to live in India.

    Good Book! Irreverent and funny in party and self indulgent in others. A quick sketch of all the different religious groups in India. I learned things.
