if she was so smart to get into harvard you would think that she's smart enough not to plagiarize. and at first i was skeptical about the amount that she copied, and i thought that people were exaggerating. if you look on wikipedia it shows actual excerpts she copied and SHE CLEARLY copied it. its sad because the topic of her book seems really amusing and a good read. she doesn't deserve the money i'm about to spend on the book because i have yet to read it, but she does deserve to face the consequences of plagiarism.

she's not smart enough not to plagiarize but she's smart enough to plagiarize when she's still a minor.

I think she was alright, sure she copied the idea or some chapter, per say, but it was a good read nevertheless. she is just 17. i think she has done pretty good for herself. She studies in Harvard, and writes something that sold worldwide, got a fat deal and became famous, for wrong reasons though!

But i am glad she wrote it and i read it.

About 3 years ago, I was Opal Mehta, or felt like it. Thrown into a culture obsessed with sex and celebrity. I wanted to be a part of the "in" crowd. I knew many fellow untouchables who held the same passive aggressive bipolar (and in retrospect somewhat wacky) point of view: (I love you, but back away, for I am not worthy of your love). Sure, I was playing hard to get. I was very well bosomed and had numerous gentleman callers. I made so much money making men and women horny that I wanted to show others how to do what I did and be who I am. Just like Opal. Here we have a character who consciously obtains what she she has subconsciously wanted all along -- the acceptance of others. This "person" is really just a toddler with a rejection complex. Her parents didn't want her because she was a lady, or galpal, of "letters." She couldn't bear the burden of her own geeky outsider status, so she fictionalized herself and created a modified identity. Pleasing an entire community of neurosurgeons and gynecologists with hefty praise for her having obtained uncritical but name brand success in a field that they supposedly don't understand: the pigtail genre. One day Opal is hopscotching around a gated community, and the next she's desparately tapdancing for sexual attention at Hog's and Heifers. So that's who I also used to be. Personally, I think plagiarism should be a deportable offense. I say, strip her of whatever resident or citizenship status she has. Just let her try get adequate psychiatric help in India.

Although I am not a very regular reader of Novels, some of my friends told me about this book, I got it and started reading. The more I read, the more it became interesting. I finished this book in just 3 days, as I was unable to leave it without finishing. I think Kavya's sense of humor is really good and the character she portrait is really amazing. Even though the book became controversial subject in the market, I will be looking forward for more creation from her side and frankly speaking I became a real fan of her.
