Awards/获奖情况：“這套小說涉及範圍廣闊，所有的人物都親切和善，可以說是生活中一段漫長、甜蜜、無眠的朝聖之旅……那樣的寫作風格告訴我們在科技甚至是風格背後隱藏著不為人知的秘密，並且那些秘密與作者所闡釋的靈魂本質息息相關……賽斯的小說抵得上幾千樁漫長的婚姻，值得一讀。”—《衛報》
“This novel, so vast and so amiably peopled, is a long, sweet, sleepless pilgrimage to life... Such writing reminds us that there are secrets beyond technique, beyond even style, which have to do with a quality of soul on the part of the writer, a giving of oneself... His novel deserves thousands of long marriages and suitable readers.”---Guardian
“《如意郎君》的描寫生動，富有感染力，語言優美，所涉及的領域遠遠不止那個國家……賽斯的地方意識非常強烈，其筆下的虛構城市Brahmpur極度富有自己的特色。該書涉及範圍既龐大又豐富多樣，可以與十九世紀任何一本小說相媲美。”—《文學評論》
“Vivid, evocative and beautifully written, A Suitable Boy casts its net far and wide across the country... Seth has a wonderful sense of place and the (fictional) city of Brahmpur is almost a character in its own right... The cast of A Suitable Boy is as vast and various as that of any 19th century novel.”---Literary Review
“《如意郎君》一書針對戲劇全景中的不同時刻，以嫺熟精確的描述記錄了人物的情感和心理變化……本書在結合深度想像與吸引力度方面，絕對可以與19世紀那些傑出的作家前輩相提並論。”—《星期日時報》
“A Suitable Boy modulates unawkwardly from moments of delicate emotional and psychological accuracy to scenes of panoramic drama... it lines up with its eminent 19th century predecessors in combining depth of imagination with breadth of appeal.”---Sunday Times
