5.0 out of 5 stars
A Dilly in Delhi, 22 July 2009
By Dick Johnson - Published on Amazon U.S.
This review is from: Family Planning (P.S.) (Paperback)
Our hero is a politician and father of thirteen - all still at home. I don't know which is scarier: a politician raising his own voter base; or raising thirteen kids. Thankfully, the terror stops there.
The fun, however, starts on page one and continues throughout the book. We have family follies and political pandemonium; coming-of-age and first-love; and lots of children.
I felt as if Mahajan was sitting next to me telling me the story; the writing was that real and 'friendly'. I am amazed that this is a first book. This being the P.S. edition, we also get the additional material from him in the back of the book.
Grab this one if you want to have fun and enjoy a satiric look at part of the life of India.
