Yes, My Accent Is Real by Kunal Nayyar

I read Yes, My Accent Is Real by Kunal Nayyar because I am a huge fan of the show The Big Bang Theory.  I enjoy his character, Rajesh Koothrappali.  Apparently, he is a lot like his character, or at least, his book portrays him to be.  His stories were very sweet, there was a lot of mild humor thrown in and he comes across as being an emotional individual.  He mentions a couple of "chick flicks" and very much seems to be a romantic.  His mutant immigrant comment was too funny.  The only part that doesn't seem like Raj is Kunal is not an astrophysicist.  Other than that, it was hard not to view it as a book about Raj.  I'm not sure if Kunal would consider that a compliment, but I don't consider it a problem.  Raj is a beloved character.  I can't believe Raj was almost named Dave.  That's a funny story in the book, too.  Overall, I enjoyed the book.  I think those who are a fan of Raj would enjoy the book.  If someone isn't familiar with The Big Bang Theory, then the book is still enjoyable simply for being an autobiography written by what seems to be a really sweet guy.  I give the book 3 out of 5 stars simply because it takes a lot for me to go above a 3 for any book.
