My Review :
I agree, in the beginning of this book you dont feel it to be very brilliant, it grabs you very silently and you start smiling and move to giggling then when the dialogue of this book takes full effect on you, you are tired of laughing , it is so simple without so many deep involving things with Crime, Conspiracy, Idealogy , Etc., being shoved in your mind subtly by writers of modern times. This book is old printed around 1980 but if you want to have a very good laugh and very good time of reading without feeling that you are being guided to one side or the other side or without feeling pushed into taking sides with the characters . This book excels , excels very brilliantely in leaving original YOU as you were and still have very happy state of mind.
Fate of Author : There is foreword to this book written by its publishers , how they acquired this book and how subsequently it came to be printed. I think even if we have to put some effort or go thru many book shops looking for this book, its worth the effort and its worth keeping this book in your Library.
