kodakarapuranam by vishalamanaskan

I read this one in train yesterday. I started the book when I reached Coimbatore and finished it by the time I reached Bangalore. This is a compilation of blogs of the popular malayalam blogger Vishalamanaskan aka Sajeev Edathadan.

Each blog describes some humorous incidents related to the author and people in Kodakara, a small town in  Thrissur district, Kerala. A few incidents happen in the Gulf country also where the author is working now. The narration uses very simple language and follows Thrissur dialect which makes it even  more attractive. The strength of the writing style is in the informal way in which it is done. Vishalamanskan has clearly got himself promoted from an amateur writer to a humour writer who is liked by the class and mass alike.

Good humour, highly recommended for a train journey. 4 out of 5.
