Family Life Commentary

As a class we read Family Life, by Akhil Sharma. Before reading it and reading reviews, it sounded like it could be a good book and an interesting story. At first I gave it a chance by trying to understand how different and how important the move from India to America was for the Sharma family. I tried to put myself in Ajay's shoes and started to feel sorry for him. As it went on, I started to get bothered by Ajay and just the story in general. Personally, I did not enjoy reading this book at all. I thought that by giving it a chance I may like it and learn something from it but I couldnt.  It was a well-written story about the family moving and experiencing traumatizing events but I did not enjoy it all.
