Reviews:-

Once the book was delivered home, the younger one nicked it first. For the next hour or so I heard muffled giggles. After that, with a wide grin plastered on his face he handed it to me.
'So which of the stories was your favourites?'
'The first one.' The grin had given way to guffaws as he walked out of the room only to pop back again, 'No!No! The third one. Oh wait! The second one was great too!'
'so you liked them all?'
'Yup! After all, all farts are different.'
I read it after him, and just as the blurb says (three grandparents, three states, three stories, four blasts) it is indeed an explosive book made even more hilarious by Vinayak Varma's fartwork.
The elder one is on it now. He has just giggled through Anushka's and Jerry's stories and, as expected, is unable to decide which one is better. Last I heard, he was laughing as he read out the list of goodies on Ghontu's plate in Sayoni's Ghontu and Shontu.
