I have tried several times to read this, but just couldn't get into it. All the characters seem so negative! They don't like each other, and the author doesn't seem to like any of them, so why should I care?

I really prefer to eat alone, usually! It's more relaxing than listening to other people chew, and talk on and on. This title reminds me of the family dinner scene in the movie "Saturday Night fever" where they were all bickering and yelling. No, thanks!I really prefer to eat alone, usually!

A concept full of sparkling potential was left flat by the poor writing style and general ignorance of the culture and period where the story was set. Disappointing.

This book had some fun and suspenseful moments -- not so much in a scary way, but "Oh! What's going to happen now!" What actually did happen, though, wasn't as interesting.

"The Return of Faraz Ali" kept me riveted, and in my opinion it is a Great Novel, rich with history, atmosphere, and deeply realized characters whose loving but conflicted relationships resonate. I also thought the ending was beautiful, in the way that "The Lovely Bones" was beautiful.
