Holy Cow

This book lost steam halfway through. Macdonald gets bogged down in exploring the intricacies of all the different religions in India and lost my attention. I thought she adopted a rather superior tone towards Americans, which was annoying, though possibly understandable given the 9/11 time frame of this book. Overall, there were lots of funny and moving bits, and Macdonald presented an engaging side of India that almost made me want to visit - and that's saying a lot, considering how misanthropic I can be :)
