Gopal, the main character in the story, is a bright young Indian from one of the remote parts of the country. The book narrates his experiences as he makes his first trip to America to further his education. Mathur does a great job exploring the psyche of the character as he fumbles in between alien surroundings and people. Gopal's English is really bad, and provides for a kind of comedy that you have to be Indian to understand. (My head is eating circles) This book is really funny. If you are looking to have a good time without forming any opinions, go for this book. I feel that many Indians would identify with Gopal's opinions on Americans and their ways. If you are an American and are looking to understand the minds of Indian students, this book is nothing to go by. The time in which this story is set is speculated to be in the 70s. And Gopal is from a rural place, hardly what an Indian student from a city would be like today. All said and done, this book is a great way to spend an evening and get a few laughs

I love E.D. Baker's way of retelling fairy tales, she manages to make them a little bit silly but still completely heartfelt. The heroine of Wide-Awake Princess is just as lovely and fun as the Frog Princess, but the one who really shines here is the love interest. While I still love the entire series of The Frog Princess, the hero and the love story here hit every single thing that I like, and I couldn't help but flip back to the first page and start all over again when I finished it. A great story, a quick read, but you'll want to read it again when you're done.
