 A great book, on multiple leves Apr 28, 2007
By Dani K
"Voracious reader"
"Saturday Morning Omelettes" by Kavita Khannen is a terrific book. The story is compelling, the characters are fascinating, the background is absorbing. I couldn't put it down once I started reading it.
One of the many reasons I loved this book is that it works on so many different levels. The people in the book are very real--they have good points and flaws. They're interesting, and very "human." Then, the book is a fascinating insight into a culture that is very different from my own, and the fascination increases as the story describes the melding of the new culture with the familiar one. THere's so much here that's just so new to me...I was open-mouthed with amazement, yet felt throughout, "This just all makes so much sense!"
The ending just begs for a sequel...it's very "Gone with the Wind"-like, in that you just so badly want to know how it all turns out in the future. Ms. Khannen: PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE write the follow-up...we just have to know what happens next!
Congratulations to the author on writing an incredibly interesting, informative, and entertaining book. It's one of the best I've read in years!

A Great Debut ! Nov 18, 2006
By Manish Madan
Very well writen book - basically draws you in and keeps you engaged throughout....Couldn't put it down and was eager to know the ending (which was very unexpected). The passages connecting the storyline to the Indian epic Ramayana are elegant and contribute critically to the overall feeling of authenticity that the author manages to create. Already looking forward to more work from Kavita...

A must read contemporary epic... Oct 26, 2006
By Nupur Kapoor
"Be an Organ Donor"
Very heartwarming story and extremely well written. I could not put the book down, once I started reading. I especially loved the beautiful poems at the end of the chapters and how the author has related the events to Hindu Holy book of Ramayana. There were a lot of things that I could relate to, experiences of first timers in US, for one. While most of the book was very realistic, the end was a little unexpected. I felt that it was unfair of Amit to make a unilateral decision about Riya, while not considering Riya's true love and happiness which were Saturday Morning Omelettes and not the other life. All in all, I really enjoyed reading the book and can't wait for a sequel or another book from the author.

Beautiful novel, sparkling new voice in fiction Oct 24, 2006
By Pranay Gupte

Kavita Khanna is a sparkling new voice in fiction. This book is almost lyrical. It captures your attention from the get-go, and sustains it. The writing is well paced, and the characters seem very real indeed. I was delighted to come across this book, and I look forward to other works by Ms. Khanna.

Excellent Book Oct 23, 2006

As someone who isn't well versed in the Indian culture, I found it very interesting. I enjoyed the Hindu perspective and experience especially from my Americanized point-of-view. I have several Indian friends and the book helped me better understand their cultural influences.
