Malcom Gladwell delivered another thought provoking dissertation on human behavior. In addition to being educational, his research was eye opening. I didn't think that I would enjoy the topics but as always, I was sucked into his web of curiosity about things I had not thought that I cared about, yet clearly do.

Bahni Turpin is one of the great narrators and she didn't disappoint in this narrative. I saw the movie years ago,and now I understand it. I watched the movie twice more times while listening to the book. The stories were exceptional.

Well told and objectively presented. A much needed reality check for an Anglophile. Should be required reading.

Extremely fascinating glimpse into Iranian immigrant life

The author has written a fascinating account of immigrant Iranians in the nineties. She has included just enough history for the reader to immerse oneself and understand the limitations of the characters. I was disappointed with the ending as I didn't feel as though anything had been resolved. The narrator was excellent and really presented the story well.

I enjoy learning about Jewish history in the context of fiction. I learned a lot from this book. The story was beautifully written about strong women (not all Jewish). A few surprises in the storyline make it more enjoyable. The narrator was very good.

This is a wonderful story of relationships set in modern day and old China. The author sumptuously describes Chinese meals such that I longed to be (back) in China, because I know I can’t get such wonderful food here in the south ( although possibly in east coast or west coast Chinatowns). The story is well read written.

Padma Lakshmi’ story is beautiful told by the author, a beautiful soul inside and out. She bravely shares her life experiences, scars an all and provides a story of love, forgiveness and redemption. The food in her life is an added bonus. I didn’t want her story to end.
