Title: Disappointingly bland...
Review: Of all the professional reviews I have read so far, I think only Kirkus got it right; The Namesake is disappointingly bland. It seems to me that Lahiri wrote a very long and detailed short story which I happened to think is her best medium. After finishing the book, I asked myself "what's the point of the book." There are lots of cliches about immigrant experiences in America, and Lahiri's calm and drama-less tones made seem this book very long. In the end, I didn't really care about any of the characters. Overall, this book like so many hyped books, is overly praised.
