This book is great because it's not only a parody of self help, but also tells a boy-girl crossed-love in poverty stricken India story--think Slumdog Millionaire--so it's grounded in story, which it sounds like the Percy was not.

I was surprisingly swept away by it and agree that it is the perfect length.
