Book Review- The Three Wise Monkeys by Jeet Gian

Book Name- The Three Wise Monkeys
Author- Jeet Gian
Publisher- Leadstart Publications
Genre- Humour Fiction
Pages- 400
Price- ₹299

BLURB- The trio Amar, Akbar and Anthony had no clue whatsoever about their goddammit indecisive-careers-and-indefinite-struggles.
And that was because they were born with the Peter Pan Syndrome and were simple enough to be tricked by anyone, including their mystifying girlfriends—Meghna, Farah and Sarah.
And as is the fate of all morons, they were drawn into trouble—deep trouble—of hiding crores of rupees of black money in secret offshore companies.
Will their mistake of turning a blind eye to the philosophy of ‘See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil’ cost them their careers and put them in prison?
Or
Will Lady Luck change their fortunes forever?

REVIEW- Three Wise Monkeys is a light hearted novel which is a  perfect blend of humour and puns. This book is for you if you're looking for funny read.

Book Title and Cover- The book title is apt and is itself a pun slyly suggesting us about the content. The cover is catchy and at the same time relatable with the content. Blurb is  short and interesting.
All in all, the book easily captures our attention.

Language and Narration- Language of the book is simple yet lucid. All the chapters are short and crisp. Third person narrative is fitting. Narrative style of the author is amazing and he keeps his readers hooked to the book.

Theme- The theme of this book is Friendship, Love, Lust, Struggle and Social Evils.

Characterization- Amar, Akbar and Anthony, the three protagonists are simple ,plain and well crafted. Their witty attitude for every situation is fun to read. Supporting characters added fun to the book.

Storyline and Plot- Plot of this book is well written with lot of subplots. There was a freshness in the novel which kept me hooked to the book. The humour content of the book is high and it makes you laugh your lungs out.

Middle portion of the book is well written and shows the humor level at its best.
However, the climax was not upto the mark and could have been better.

RATINGS-
Book Cover and Title- 4/5
Language and Narration- 4/5
