Not Just a Joke Book by S Ramkumar, S Ramkumar
3.0

Not Just A Joke Book by S. Ramkumar, as the name suggests is not just a joke book, but a book that carries anecdotes from life that carries humour in it.

It is a book that reminds me of the books that used to be sold at the railway stations, bus stops and other stalls that many of us have been through in our childhood which have jokes in it that we used to crack in front of our friends and otherwise.

The 'jokes' not only focus on the humour-provoking incidents from our surroundings but sometimes also contain some social commentary and philosophy as well.

The author is very imaginative in the way he captures the moments of humour, and in some infuses it, which makes it very interesting.

Though I have my share of hits and misses, it is a collection that takes us back to the days when joke books were so fun to read, and we were able to find some good laugh-out-loud moments in between the predictable, cringe and not-so-funny moments sometimes.
