Until now, the only Indian author with a humorous writing style is R.K Narayan. What a talented writer he is! I have read and re- read this book many times and the more I read it, the more I love it. This book revolves around a plain boy Swaminathan from Malgudi village who has many adventures in his sleepy village. All the stories are about Swami, his strict father, (nondescript) mother and a loving and caring grandmother along with his friends Mani, Rajam, etc. Its a very funny book and if you want to liven a dull day, nothing is better than this book. When you read it, you can see the whole story in your mind. A truly great story about friendship and is a MUST Read. I really love this book and among the many books I have at my home, this one has a special place.
