 I’ve been reading books quite slowly to be honest but this book helped me to come out of the slump & make me read faster again. As the author writes for The Unrealtimes he already has a knack for writing satire which he used brilliantly in this book. I liked the fact how the author pointed out every single thing which is currently wrong in our political environment & made it funny. The irritating Bhai & Badshah, useless Bhakts & AAPtards, etc have been pointed out accurately. I also liked the fact that even the title is satirical, the language is easy & the cover gives it all away why one should absolutely read this book. My only critique would be that the book needs to be edited more carefully, rest everything is to the point. I believe its one of those books by an Indian author which no one should miss as it will encourage the Indian market to produce quality work. A MUST READ!
