"Entertaining and enjoyable novel."
Colourful and entertaining! a Good read. I enjoyed the blend of cultures and religions. Zadie Smith has a good grasp of inter-race relationship between 1st generation foreigners living in London.
"interesting concepts"
Interesting concepts, good ideas but I felt it lacked a central theme.
"Practical conversational skills"
Good book on conversational skills. Also beneficial for know-it-alls who presume they know how to have a conversation.
