"Overall, The 786 Cybercafe makes for an entertaining afternoon - I read it in a single sitting and found it engaging, funny and street-smart."

“The 786 Cybercafe was a dream come true for hundreds of boys, repressed beyond belief, glands in overdrive, imagination and adrenalin racing.”

"But then sometimes, as with Bina Shah's the 786 Cybercafe, I get to read the book where I don’t have to do such things. It is a book where I go back to basics and just read, because it is simply a darn good read. There is nothing convoluted about Bina Shah’s writing and the plot."

Despite my complaints, though, I would still recommend The 786 Cybercafe. It successfully grapples with a very current controversy that is developing in our midst.

Shah’s sensitive, delicately humorous view is that of Pakistani, yet she is aware of how her characters, place, and story appear to outsiders.
