I liked this book a lot. It's an intelligent exploration of modern American society and culture. It was one of my first looks at life long after immigration, the struggles of professorship, family challenges, and what they can be like. Raj is someone you can cringe at, laugh beside, be anxious with, and root for. And the narration does a great job of playing into all this. I would feel good about recommending this to any of my friends and family because it's, at its core, entertaining.
