The Namesake

by Jhumpa Lahiri - book review.

We read this one for a book club I'm in.

The good things - insight into Bengali-American culture, and some insight into the immigrant experience in America + it was an enjoyable enough read.

The not-so-good things - none of the characters were really very remarkable to me. I found the book to be very predictable.
I haven't seen the film version, but if it is true to the book, I think I'll take a pass.
