Funny indeed!4
This is a very enjoyable book, which has a very positive take on the experience of being an immigrant in the USA. However Dumas says enough to make it clear that everything was not easy, particularly so after the revolution in Iran.
I enjoyed the humour, warmth and cultural insights of this book.

Had me in tears of laughter at each chapter5
I'm still in the midst of reading this book by Dumas, and I must say I can't stop being in complete awe of her style and prose as she winds you through this magnificent memoir.
A must read for anyone interested in 'aving a good laugh and gaining a valuable life story.

Charming and delightfully hilarious!5
Funny in Farsi reminds me of everything good about Iran and being an Iranian. Reading this book took me back to my childhood days of being brought up in Iran and then having to live abroad. I loved the relaxed, light-heared method of Ms. Dumas' writing as it makes the read such fun. This book is a definite must not just for Iranians, but for anyone who values family, friendship and generally embraces life to the full! Happy reading....
