East of Wimbledon


Nigel Williams, a hilarious author, who has written a novel which you have to stop at every line to laugh until your tummy can't stand it anymore and then stop again to calm yourself down before you can continue reading. Well, i tried hard not to laugh but i just could not resist it.
A man named Robert Wilson passes himself off as a Muslim to just simply work at as Islamic school (the Wimbledon Independent Islamic Boys Day School). It has been really tough for Robert because he almost knows nothing about Islam. A close boy to him is Hasan, who is blind and facially birth-marked. He has to be protected from the 'twenty-fourthers'. And so on.... (If i keep telling you then you wouldn't have much curiosity in the story not because i'm lazy to blog)
I especially like this novel for a reason that it is excruciatingly funny. I takes lot of patience to read this as the words are very tiny so some of us can just give up at about half way their. But since it is too funny, i just couldn't put it down no matter how much i hate tiny words. I recommend this for people who loves comedy/adventurous (for this has both). So have fun reading!
