review 1: Like a Batman is a Batman, a Khushwant Singh is a Khushwant singh. The story is about old men trying to involve themselves with the daily routines. Although they don't play an active part in their lives anymore, their blabber is like anyone who can call the shots. Sexual fantasies and laze are ubiquitous in the story and makes the reader hate the idea of getting old.Narration is captivating and you tend to imagine the characters for real.
review 2: I picked up this book, thinking it would be as fascinating as 'In the Company of Women' by KS. Alas! This book in simple words, is for a bunch of old people who are idle the entire day, are not a part of any clubs and need someone to converse with. I wouldn't say its a bore or a tasteless read, rather you can easily ... morespot the KS style humor(based on how well an observer of humans he has been) and have a few laughs often. However, it comes with a certain age bracket(and if you belong to it, you would thoroughly enjoy!). I am sure a mid 20's guy is not at all interested in what old people gossip - recounting and boasting about their youthful sexual encounters, contradictions on politics & society and how their day went by. By the time sun had set, I felt like giving up on the book for its flat humor tone and unimpressive pace. less
