Download Born Confused Audiobook

" This book is a great book that expresses the daily life of being a teenager and struggling with how you look, religion and of course boys. I did feel that the book was slow reading and there were many Indian words that aren't easily understood. Overall a really enjoyable book "

" it's nothing special or particular "epic" or "amazing" but there is something about this book that sticks with you...ad you're not entirely sure why, even at 26 every so often I think about going back to it... "

" I love this book so much. It is the perfect mixture of reality, hope, beauty, truth, and a unique coming of age story. Born Confused offers outsiders a glimpse into the difficulties of growing up in two different cultures. As a photographer, I loved reading the passages of the darkroom and the 'dance' of chemical development. I re-read this book at least once a year, the story a favorite of mine. "

" Really liked it--especially that her parents weren't always the bad guys and some of her realizations about herself (definitely a coming-of-age/identity book)--very poetic, but some of the poetry and musings were a little long-winded. "

" Meh. Pretty good in some parts, but not consistently. "

" I really liked this book. It mirrored many American born Asians struggles for their identity. I really connected with the main character. The book also explored "sacred Cow" issues, like gays. It was really enlightening and fun to read. It took me through an emotional, hormonal rollercoaster that I haven't been able to see for a while. "

" Very good! I liked how it dealt with issues like jealousy and coming to terms with cultural identity while still remaining fun. "

" this book is so good that kaavya viswanathan lifted entire passages of it for her book "how opal mehta got kissed, got wild, and got a life," and when i read the latter i actually recognized where they were from. "

" Don't know what you got til it's gone. How to blend many cultures and feel okay about it. What to do when a boy breaks your heart. Why parents are the best people in the world. How music can make a soul come alive. "

" I like Tanuja Desai Hidier's style of writing, but it is too adult for the content of her book. "

" REALLY GOOD! It was took a little while before I really got into it but once I did it was so good! "

" This book is okay but I found characters to be based on stereotypes which made them annoying, and this book contains so many awkward scenes. I would not recommend this book to anyone. "

" In my opinion, this book had it ups and downs. It had very poor grammar and a very absurd plot line. Even though it was sometimes hard to understand, I think that it is the moral of the book that makes me want to rate it three stars. "

" Interesting and cute little love story.. "

" Poor Dimple LaLa! Her best friend is kind of a ho. "

" I did not like this book at all "

" I wanna go dancing! "

" Different look on modern society. "

" I really luved this book, it touched my heart! Srry Im being dramatic, but its the truth, I luved it! "

" This was a fantastic read of a teenage Indian girl rebelling against her parents choice of a suitable boy. It was well characterised and very emotional in parts. "

" This was an interesting story about an Indian girl growing up. I can't remember much about it, but I do know that I enjoyed it, it was easy to follow, and that I would recommend it to others. "

" I have been searching for this book for years! I read and loved it in high school. I forgot the title but came across it at the library when I was living in Chicago. I forgot the title again but not the book. I am so glad to find it again and look forward to checking it out as soon as possible. "

" i thought it was a really good book. it was very easy for me to feel connected to dimple and it takes u inside a truly confused girl. "

" This book is really long but still good. It was really slow in the beginning but it slowly got better and better untill I was at the edge of my seat. "

" Excellent writing, just didn't like it that much. "

" An overall well written teen-angst type bit with the cultural flair of India thrown in for a book like no other. A truly unique read that accurately portrays modern teenagers. "

" I really luved this book, it touched my heart! Srry Im being dramatic, but its the truth, I luved it! "

" really really good book. helped me with my own Born Confused issues. lots of heart and wisdom. little bit disappointed with the romantic bend of the ending. but aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawesome! "

" This book was difficult at times because of the Indian perspective but I really enjoyed it. A great book about finding your identity and learning to embrace your culture as well as finding your place in the world. "

" First book I read with a South Asian heroine. It rocked my socks, though it was a little ridiculous at certain points.

Still, a solid YA book "

" One of those books that just always sticks with me for some reason. "

" A book that defines the struggles of an ABCD (wink to all desi's) teenager! "
