Title: Pizza Religion
Author: Khushwant Singh
Pages: 112
Publishers: Kharag Warya’s Publisher
Genre: Non-fiction

I was eager to read the book because of the cover ( I am not the only one who judges a book by the cover , so don’t judge me :p)

Pizza Religion is the future of religion because it understands youth, and our youth are way smarter than we ever were, they don’t have any double standards, they don’t take bullshit in the name of religion, they believe in humanity and they practice humanity. Pizza Religion is for the people who are innocent at heart, it is not the religion for cunning people who do every possible sin under the grab of religion. So be the part of the living religion that believes in practicality of life

The book discusses a new religion in which we don’t just blindly follow what we have been taught and think we have committed a sin by doing a certain thing. The book explores a new religion where eating joints are the temples as we cherish being here and no one is discriminated on the basis of their religion. The book also questions you on what we have believed, what we do since our birth. I finished his book in one sitting and it also gets me out of a reading slump. The only thing didn’t like about the book was the narration. The flow and the pace of the story were amazing. Thanks author for the review copy

4.5/5

The book is a collection of poems that contain precious thoughts of the author on different aspects of life.
Like a necklace and its beads tied with string and hook,
are the poems embedded in the book.

The narration is amazing. In the whole book the references given, the things compared and connected to each other is beautifully done. The topics are ordinary described in an extraordinary way. The poems are the dedication to everyone poet loves.

The book revolves around different masters from whom author is seeking knowledge from.Will he be able to seek knowledge and change his perspectives on different things?

Thanks, author for the review copy. The book contains 14 chapters discussing topics like positivity and meditation. I haven’t read much of mythology books before except my school textbooks. I loved the way author described each and every aspect of life so beautifully. The plot of the book is engaging. The writing style is gripping. This book has a different aspect on different things. Each story had its own meaning which is needed to understand carefully. I felt the book was particularly strong in the area of narration. All the stories have a special thought. As you read the book you will definitely agree with all the opinions in the book. I would definitely recommend this book to everyone even if you are not a huge fan of mythology.

My Review!

Thank you author for the review copy. The book is a collection of 13 short stories from different parts of India. All of these are rarely known. The title totally justifies with the stories. The stories are simple. I am not a huge fan of love stories but I really liked the book as it didn’t have any sugar coating. The book travels through different timelines with different people. The stories are small, which makes it an easy and quick read. The stories are unique as they are hardly known to anyone. The stories are about people who struggled for their love or even were killed for their love. I would definitely recommend this book to everyone who likes to read romance genre. I don’t like love stories a lot so, I gave it 4 stars.
