Pizza Religion by Khushwant Singh: a review

Well, as human beings have gone through this one phase of life when we sit back and think about our religion. Many of us come up with a proper conclusion welcome office still stumble by the end of it. Khushwant Singh's Pizza Religion is one such book that acts as an eye opener for every such individuals.



About the book- Pizza religion is the future religion which understands today's youth, who are way smarter than what we were. They don't have any double standards, they don't take any bullshit in the name of religion, they believe in humanity and the practice humanity. This book is essentially for those who are innocent and truthful at heart and do not practice religion under whose cover the commit every possible sin under the sun. So be a part of this living religion that believes in moral integrity and in following the straight and narrow.

If you are wondering what the book has to say then let me tell you right now this book is exactly what it says it will be. One of the first things that attracted me to the book was the title itself. Quirkily done, this will grab the attention of all the youth who comes across this book once in his or her lifetime. The tagline of the book says finally a religion that lets you breathe and the book is really that.

The cover is also very minimally done yet has a beautiful range of colors that brings life to the book. Now as you flip through the pages of this book written by the motivational expert professional, you are bound to see pearls of wisdom in the writing and are sure to take back something or the other from the book. The book deals with aspects that are underlying in our country and still unspoken about.

The author takes a bold step into mentioning words like, 'bullshit’ in the back cover and also comparing 'the restaurant to the temple’ which might anger a set of people but then again. That's the whole point of the book! I liked the flow the writer has while writing this book. It brings in a sense of wanting to know and read more of the book.

One of the cons of the book is the fact that the book is too thin and small for the content it carries. Alternatively, you can also take it as a pocket book if you want. Also, among the cons, there were a lot of grammar errors in the book. How I wished, by the time I ended it, that the book would've been a more crisper and fine tuned version. Having said all of that, I would love to everyone to read this book and find out what's in store for them in this new journey called Pizza religion. For me, this was a 3.5 on 5.
