Laugh Riot. Brilliant.
It will make you Laugh-Out-Loud.
Warning : Do not Read in Public Places (I read it while waiting for my bus) for you would laugh, and people around you might think you are 'crazy'

[Sindhu]

Loved it! P.S. : Strictly for Crazy Mohan fans 😅

[Arvind Srinivasan]

The book seemed more like a inspiration of washingtonil thirumanam by saavi. How kiccha through his crazy ways could gain so much respect in america is suttled out in comical way. Since it is crazy mohan we would expect lot of comedy in dialogue, situation and flow. But that expectation results in a bigger let down here. Though above average but that coming from CM sir is below par.

But that doesnt mean there is not much comedy, there are good amount of comedy but they are far spread. In a book of 160 if there is one comedy once in 5 pages it does not fit in well. I would rather be more satisfied to see sathileelavathi or meesai analum manavi again over reading this book. Sorry in case my review seems to be harsh this is just my perspective. A avoidable affair according to me

[Supratheesh T]

Total fun. An unabashed entertainer.

[Nandu]

This book written by crazy mohan as I know him from some of the Kamal movies where he worked as a dialogue writer is very witty and intellectual in nature. This book is an easy go no brainer book and entertains the readers by narating many funny incidents happened when he toured United States for his shows. As we see in movies, we could relate few of his jokes and plays with words ( like munadi pinadi) . The motif of the book carried through out is, a tamilian going to America and his struggles to decipher the culture n behavior of the people. Can read once if you feel bored.

வாசிங்டனில் திருமணம் கதையின் இன்னொரு வடிவத்தை (version) படித்தது போல இருந்தது. சில இடங்களில் கிரேசி மோகனின் அடையாளம் இருந்தது. ஆனால் நகைச்சுவைக்காக கதாநாயகன் கதாப்பாத்திரத்தை அதிகமாக மட்டம் தட்டியது போலிருந்தது.

அமெரிக்காவில் எல்லாம் தனியார் மயம் ஆதலால் சிறப்பாக இருக்கிறதெனில் அதிலும் பல குறைகள் உள்ளது. நுகர்வோர்களின் பாதுகாப்பு இந்தியாவை விட அதிகமாக உறுதியும் செய்யப்பட்டுள்ளது ஒரு காரணம் என்று நினைக்கிறேன்.

[Prabhu R.]

Hilarious, funny and the flow was so spontaneous as it would in the movies that Crazy Mohan penned his scripts. Unfortunately he is no more, but the hilarity and the spontaneity of his humour will be everlasting. Though some of the areas contain jokes that are bland, they are still enjoyable. A hilarious read, overall!

[Vijay Raj]

The primary target of this book is the Tambrahm community (the person that crazy is, I am not surprised :-) ). A thoroughly enjoyable fun ride as is expected of crazy mohan, although it is no different from watching a stage play of his. Some sentences, though funny, are tiringly long.

[Ahil Kannan]

தமிழ் நகைச்சுவை அரசே!

வெகு நாட்களுக்கு பிறகு ஒரு நல்ல புத்தகம் வாங்கி வாசித்து முடித்த அனுபவம். கதாநாயகன் அடிக்கும் லூட்டியில் துளி கூட சினிமா கலப்பில்லாத ஒரு நாடக தொனி கொண்ட புத்தகம்.

[Literature Reader]

Misadventures of Kichcha continues from Alwarpet to America ending up in a positive way for him while annoying & irritating for others. Some of the humorous portions and situations were rib tickling & hilarious. Fantabulous comedy writing by Crazy Mohan sir !

[Sriram Sundar]

This is an amazing read. I thoroughly enjoyed crazy sir writing. Each scene written was like a movie. I recommend this book for every fun loving Tamil readers.

[Prasanna]

Boring and old jokes

The narration is boring apart from few jokes, rest are old jokes. Better not to waste time on this book.

[Harish Sankar]

Laugh Riot!

[Karthikeyan]

Hilarious ride; signature Crazy Mohan work.

[Sajina Yasmin M]

As crazy book

Just tune your mind voice to his tone and this is one of the hilarious books you will read. This is pure and pure Crazy Mohan's brand of humour

[Arun]

Typical Crazy Mohan. An easy book to read that would provoke laughter. A stress reliever.
The author masters the humor genre and delivers it to perfection in this book.

[Edison Prathip Kumar APK]

Loved 'Crazy Kishkinta' 💚

[Harini_vigneshAravind]

lol unstoppable

[Dinesh Babu]

It was my first book that I tried in humour genre. I never thoght mere words can bring laughter or even smile. But I was wrong. Crazy sir was so funny with his choice of words and the analogies that he used were hilarious.
I sometimes used to think, whetehr this Kicha was original or just a fictional character. But once so much into the novel, i stopped pondering about it.

I enjoyed reading this....

மதில் மேல் மாது - excellently written 🎗️🤩

[Ramakrishnan Sankaranarayanan]

Very nice read. I was laughing throughout the time I was reading this book. Typical Crazy Mohan sir's comedies by over exaggerating every situation. Missed him very much while reading this book. Will definitely recommend this book especially during such testing times to lighten the mood and have a heartfelt laugh.

[Eswara]

அற்புதம்

சொல்சிக்கனம் எதுஇல்லாம செம கலாய். சம்பவங்களை நகைச்சுவையாக்கினாறா? அல்லது நகைச்சுவை சம்பவங்களாகினவா? என்று அறியாதபடி, நல்ல ஒரு பயணக்கட்டுரை ( கலாய்)

கிரேஸி நாடகத்தை நேரில் பார்த்த அனுபவத்தை தந்துவிட்டார் நூலாசிரியர்

[Vinisha]

One of the most stress bursting book. At certain chapters we would laugh a lot. Sure to give a try. If you are the beginner to books it will be of great help

[Sanjay Rajan]

A Good Humorous travelogue

[Kamesh Kumar N]

Extremely hilarious, crazy Mohan has no parallel in juggling with words and spinning out loads and loads of humor.

[Senthil Kumar]

Rocking Comedy

Non stop comedy. You can enjoy the flow of the story. The kitchen character ran through out the play in more mischievous role.

[Lalitha]

Hilarious!!!! It has so much Witty comments and dialogues which will give a hearty laugh :) :)

[Howard]

The jokes are just fantastic. Some of them will make you roll on the floor & laugh out loud :-)

Major drawbacks:
1. 5-6 chapters longer than needed
2. Becomes predictable beyond a point
