The Big Question 26 Feb 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
I enjoyed reading this book. It ends up being quite a heartwarming story but it does take you on the journey of 'what have I done with my life' as all the characters in the book are asking the same thing as they are reaching the end of their lives. I had not seen the film before reading the book but knew which actors where playing which characters and it made the book live even more. It balances the needs, hopes and aspirations of older people who feel invisible in todays society with the lives of their children/friends and the world they now live in.

By A. Craig HALL OF FAME TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Hardcover
Her best novel since Tulip Fever, this is a brilliantly funny book about how to the elderly Britain has become a foreign country. An overworked India doctor sets up a retirement home in India, and a group of quirky pensioners make what is probably their last journey to where the Empire's sun never sets. The young Indians they meet are as clean and respectful as young British people are not - fascinated by details of their mundane lives which could make them convincing telesales workers. Yet there are complicated connections with the past which gradually emerge, and an unexpected romance. A wonderful, stylish, touching and bitter-sweet story about what Kingsley Amis called Ending Up.

BEWARE 2 Mar 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this book because of the soon to be released film. I started to read it and realised this book is the same book I had read just recently and had ordered at the same time. So if you have already read These Foolish Things don't buy The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. I could find nothing in Amazon's blurb to say this and it only says it in small print on the back of the book. So readers beware!!!!

Enjoyable book
I bought this after seeing the film. I think it didn't make me so excited about India but the story was more believable and very interesting. I enjoyed it.

The Best Exotic Hotel Marigold
Well written, brings back memories, far superior to the film. Humour and pathos, and characters are well drawn of real people in real situations. A page turner.

Loved it!
What a lovely read. The whole book was a pleasure to read. Rationally it seems to be such a crazy idea - old folks go to India instead of 'care' homes in the UK. Read more
