Review: I can *almost* convince myself I've been to India now.

All that can be said about this great book needs to take a moment because what resonates with me so permanently is this real and personal view of India that I haven't experienced before in any book. I'd like to tell Mr. Kusy well done for this fact alone. I'd also like to meet his Mom, because I love her.I'd really like to hate Spud and his love of treachery and women, but he's endearing in the way that our most flawed friend is. We know they're insane, but we keep them around anyway. Rose and Ram and Nick and Anna are such great additions to the posse and I loved reading about them and their experiences.This book is a memoir that will make you laugh and cry and feel like you've made friends. You'll fall in love with India and even a little bit with London. A lot of reviews of books say that you will laugh and cry but this book is so genuine and brings you with it that you can't help but experience it and feel all the emotion.If you have wanderlust or know someone who does, this will be the fix you need. Read it, love it, pass it around.Maybe Spud just needs a hug.
