Book review wise or otherwise
This book review summarizes Sudha Murthy's book "Wise & Otherwise". It discusses that the book is a collection of short stories told in simple language about humanity and social issues in India. Each story is independent and short, between 5-6 pages. The stories portray realistic depictions of life lessons that can be learned from ordinary people in everyday situations. While the short length of the stories causes the characters to feel disconnected, overall the book focuses on people of all ages and pays tribute to Indian culture and rituals. The review recommends the book for children ages 10-15, and people interested in human experiences and behavior, as well as for reading while travelling.
