Mrs Funnybones by Twinkle Khanna
3.0
What was the hoopla about?
The book was released and I read raving reviews of it over many a social media websites and that worked up my curiosity and excitement for a book by a celebrity. I went and bought a copy.
As I started reading those alphabetical chapters I wondered what was even happening in there.
Though there were times when the book made me laugh, for almost the entirety of it it felt like reading someone's diary. That endeavour may be full of excitement to begin with but gets boring pretty fast. The same happened with me but I persevered and finished it nonetheless. It is not as if it was putting a strain on my brain when I am reading nothing but how one woman is being a wise crack almost all the time.
The most annoying bit of it was the going overboard with 'man of the house', 'the prodigal son', the baby' and 'mother dearest'. Twinkle Khanna being a celebrity, almost everyone knows who these people are. SH could have gone ahead and just used the names in some places to make it a little less annoying but...
A pretty fast read as half of it nothing but illustrations.
