Reviews

[Supertramp · Rating 4 out of 5]

I took this book from my near local library and finished in just one day(4 and 1/2 hours).

It is fast paced book with so many twists and turns. The plot is about a unknown practical joker who troubles a family with his practical jokes.
Then the family appoints Detective Yugandhar to find the practical joker.
Then the pages will turn with much faster.

This is really a good novel and I wonder why there is no movie based on this novel.

P.S : It's a remake of another telugu writer Kommuri Sambasiva Rao's
'Practical Joker'.
