"The Hundred Foot Journey" by Richard C. Morais

Read this book because I wanted something light and I had enjoyed the movie. It was quite different from the movie so it was a fresh, pleasant experience. It did drag in parts because I could care less about all the food descriptions, of which I think there were too many. The movie was a much tighter story than the book, but it had more ugly bits. One strong thought I had while reading was that many people in the French town saw the father as just a comical and fat Indian. Little did they know of the tragedy behind him, and of his determination.
