For Matrimonial Purposes Audiobook

" OK I'm not smarter or better for reading this but is was FUN! Refreshing to read about a culture with high respect for elders and family. "

" It's a great book, especially for the singles out there. It's really enlightens... "

" Just so you don't think I like everything I read, I didn't even give this much of a chance. The main character takes a leave of absence from work in America to return home to native India "for matrimonial purposes." Actually, she returns home for something else that I've forgotten about, but sticks around longer than originally planned so her parents can find her a husband. Uugghh. I found it tiresome, but I would be interested in knowing whether it is true to cultural norms, or not. I suspect it is. "

" I liked the cultural, religious and tradition references. The end was a bit too abrubt and hollywood style. "

" Read this book not for the title by any means but because the author was Sindhi (same community as me) and thought there might be something I could connect to. A couple of moments in the book were cute but not something I would recommend. "

" Ordinary plot (like the other chick-lit, about a woman who find a prince. But indian culture makes this book different. I loved it. "

" OMG, this book was so hitting to home. I gave one as a present. If you are a single South Asian gal, you will identify. Funny, the line about 'The Producers' was right after I saw it with the original cast. "

" Chick lit - fast easy read without a lot of depth. It was funny in parts but I found parts repetitive and the main character a little whiny. It might be interesting to readers not familiar with Indian culture or arranged marriages. "

" untuk ukuran chicklit, novel ini lumayan bermutu. Sekalian belajar tentang nasib perempuan berdarah india. "

" Straightforward novel about an Indian woman who, after living abroad, returns to India in order to find a husband. Nothing wrong with it, but the book didn't sparkle for me. "

" i can really connect to anju and the arranged marriage thing..i felts so bad for her...but it turned out well for her in the end =) "

" What a quick and delightful read this book was! Since I'd worked for a year with an Indian woman and we talked about arranged marriages, I enjoyed this fictional look at how intense the process can get. "

" dumb book. "

" The author was too stereotypical in her characterizations. One would think this is how all Indians/Southeast Asians are! "

" This novel is hilarious! Its definitely a good light read. "

" This is a re-read. I bought it at the library a few years ago after it was a reader's choice book. I love this one. A lot about Indian traditions, arranged marriages, but present day India/New York. Such a fun read with no smut. "

" Read this in one day when I was in India. It was very light and enjoyable, it would definitely make good beach reading. I'd say it had a bit of a romance novel feel to it, but with a different cultural twist. "

" Fun, easy, light story. Perfect summer read, keeps you entertained without having to think too hard. "

" Very much chick lit, but with a cute ethnic twist that makes it just a bit different. "

" This was okay. I liked the story and could definitely relate to the main character, but then ending was kind of abrupt. I wish she had shortened the first 3/4s of the book and actually told more about the end. "

" I really liked this book. It's an interesting story about Indian culture. It's funny and NOT a mystery! "

" Ternyata gak cewek jawa aja yang ribet masalah jodoh, ternyata India lebih menyeramkan juga, untung dia tinggal di Amerika dan punya karir yang bagus jadi being single and happylah, ending novel ini memang membahagiakan kok. "

" I loved this, a great light read. Daswani's writing is interesting and while the culture is a world away, it is easy to be sympathetic to her plight. "

" One of the best I have ever read. Has a funny touch and throughly entertaining. I have read this book thrice and will love to red it all over again. Kudos to the author! "

" Great concept, great characters but slightly draggy. Could have gotten to the point faster or had more twists and turns. "

" i can really connect to anju and the arranged marriage thing..i felts so bad for her...but it turned out well for her in the end =) "

" May be good for some but not my kind of book! I think that she has described the situation and travails of an Indian girl of "marriageable" age quite perfectly! "

" I learnt more about the arranged marriage then any text books could ever teach me! "

" This was really amazing... I cried and smiled a lot while reading it.. and I felt like if she is telling my story.. This book really touched my heart! P.s. I loved the cover a lot. [The Design:] It tells how important the graphics is. "

" fun chick lit - can be read in a day "

" It took awhile to get into this book but once I did, I enjoyed it. A girl from Bombay, India is in her 30's and not married (and therefore a disgrace to her family). Although it's fiction, the novel explores the fascinating customs beliefs, rituals, etc of this country. "

" Straightforward novel about an Indian woman who, after living abroad, returns to India in order to find a husband. Nothing wrong with it, but the book didn't sparkle for me. "

" Interesting read about an arranged Indian marriage today. "

" Setelah membaca kuintet penulis ngetop India A. Roy - J. Lahiri - C. B. Divakaruni - B. Mukherjee - K. Desai, membaca buku ini seolah "menodai" keanggunan karya-karya penulis perempuan India. hehe.. maklum, ciklit --no offense--:D "

" I loved this book! It was a sweet book with no racy parts and it interesting to read about Indian culture. "
