Tiny Eye Lemur

A family drama about love, loss and growing up

Revisado: 07-22-23

Overall I enjoyed listening to the book, but I also found it to be somewhat dragged towards the end.

The book felt very personal to the authors own experience, and has surprisingly accurate details of the South Indian immigrant experience.

A few chapters appeared to go on a completely random tangent, though a lot of it tied together well towards the end.

It takes some effort to track the timelines of the different chapters as the author keeps going back and forth. But that’s also what makes it interesting, as you see how the past and present interact. You see someone behave in a particular manner and then realize a few moments later why they are this way.

The tone of the narration felt detached and unhappy to me, and I thought it ruined it a bit for me. I enjoyed that the narrator used different voices and accents to represent the different characters. It made it more lively and easier to understand who’s speaking during back and forth conversations. At the same time, the accents were overdone and almost felt like a caricature, sounding more like Apu from the Simpsons than how they would actually sound in real life.
