Dork by Sidin Vadukut

Dork - ' The incredible adventures of Robin Einstein Varghese'
Price Rs. 199
Penguin Publications

A refreshing change after reading poor quality so called literary pieces of fiction that are being written by taking advantage of the alumni 'brand name' - this book does not fall in that bad literature category.
The book is engrossing, witty and humorous and tells the story of Robin Were Geese - who is a dork and his experiences in a consulting firm. For those who enjoy humour, this is a 'must not miss'. Written in a diary format, which has suited the story very well, the book describes the inane work that a lot of us do in the corporate world.
I have seldom come across books which have good humour primarily because writing humour is much tougher than acting it. A great source of entertainment, it is bound to keep the reader glued to the book till the very last page.
