Jestus
This novel is a delicious mixture of fantasy, fiction, and humour. The stories take place in the everyday settings, but, delightfully, fantasy creeps in, tempered with judicious humour. The hero has got a hundred names. “Jestus, for to-day. It could be anything to-morrow.” (Yeah, you read it correctly.) He appears to be insane, but he drives you crazy by his words – fuzzy logic. But then, his concomitant actions make you dizzy. The combination is called “fuzzy-dizzy logic”, which can make the impossible possible, and the possible impossible.
How do you make a billion in five weeks straight? No sweat; read the very first chapter. How do you deal with robber-cum-rapists? Follow Jestus, watch him in action. And you can gain an extra day in a week, in the process. How to deal with noisy neighbours? Take a gift of four plastic swastikas from him; the problem auto-solves. Ever seen a psychiatrist being treated by his patient?! It is fun, it is thrilling. It is poignant too. (Only, if Jestus is the patient, of course.) How can the eternal rectangle (yes, rectangle, not triangle, wherein heroes and heroines are chasing each other’s tails in a merry-go-round) can be realigned? All these secrets are laid bare in fun-crammed, thrilling, fuzzy-dizzy pages.

Reality is overrated—why not shake things up with a little fuzzy-dizzy logic?
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)
Overview
V.S. Sury's Jestus is an unpredictable, goofy, and wildly entertaining novel that mixes fantasy, humor, and satire in the most unexpected ways. At its center is Jestus, a rebel of a protagonist who shatters all conventions—he has a hundred names, an even more zany train of thought, and the ability to make the impossible possible and the possible absurd.
From committing crime in the most unorthodox possible manners to warping reality itself, Jestus isn't just defying logic—he's annihilating it, substituting it instead with what the book refers to as "fuzzy-dizzy logic." The end result? A series of surreal, laugh-out-loud, and strangely brain-twisting adventures that will leave you questioning everything you ever thought you knew about common sense.
Why Jestus Works So Well
✔ A Protagonist Like No Other
• Jestus is not your average hero—he's a walking contradiction, combining madness with brilliance. One minute you think you know him, and the next he does something else to leave you both confused and entertained.
✔ A Masterclass in Absurd Humor
• Douglas Adams meets Monty Python—that's the sort of humor this book provides. Whether it's using plastic swastikas to solve noisy neighbor issues or faking being a psychiatrist rather than being treated as one, Jestus comes up with solutions that are as brilliant as they are absurd.
✔ A Satirical Take on Society & Logic
• Underneath all the humor, there's more depth to Jestus' antics than you might expect. The book quietly satirizes social norms, dogmatic logic, and our fixation with traditional problem-solving.
✔ A Rollercoaster of Unpredictability
• Nothing in Jestus is structured like anything you've seen before. One minute, you're giggling at some preposterous sequence of events, and the next, you're being slammed with an abrupt, strangely astute realization.
Strengths
✅ Unconventional and side-splitting storytelling—draws you in from cover to cover.
✅ Witty, clever satire—teasingly mocks logic, reality, and social norms.
✅ Surprising turns—you truly have no clue what's next.
✅ An original, fresh idea—a very welcome surprise in today's pre-programmed book culture.
Who Should Read Jestus?
✔ Satirists and absurdity fans who enjoy laughing at reality—if you've enjoyed books that poke fun at the world, you'll enjoy Jestus.
✔ Story fans who like surprises and blurring genre lines—if you've liked The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy or Catch-22, you'll love Jestus.
✔ Anyone who likes books that put logic to the test—if you enjoy testing conventional wisdom (and also enjoying a good laugh in the process), this is a must-read.
Final Thoughts
Jestus is a wonderfully ridiculous, laugh-out-loud novel that flips logic on its head and dares readers to accept the unorthodox. With a hero as infuriatingly mercurial as he is compelling, and a story that makes anarchy seem like a work of art, V.S. Sury presents a unique reading experience that's equal parts hilarious and provocative.
If you're in the mood for something wonderfully unique, a read that will shake your mind while engaging you completely, then Jestus is your ideal choice.

I’ve just finished reading Jestus by V. S. Sury, and honestly, I’m still trying to wrap my head around how much I enjoyed it. This book is an absolute rollercoaster of absurdity, humor, and unexpected wisdom. From the moment I started, I couldn’t put it down. It’s not your typical read, and that’s exactly why I loved it.
The main character, Jestus, is one of the most intriguing and unpredictable protagonists I’ve come across. He’s got a hundred names, and every time you think you’ve figured him out, he flips the script. His “fuzzy-dizzy logic” is something else—it’s like he operates in a world where normal rules don’t apply, and he’s constantly finding ways to make the impossible seem completely logical. It’s funny, it’s crazy, and it’s strangely brilliant all at once.
What really hooked me, though, was the humor. I found myself laughing out loud at some of the most bizarre situations. Take, for example, how Jestus deals with a robbery. The solution is so out there, it’s almost genius. Or the way he handles noisy neighbors with a gift of plastic swastikas—it’s absurd, but it works! The humor is light, but it’s also layered with deeper reflections about life, logic, and how we view reality. I didn’t expect to find such thoughtful moments tucked away in a book that’s so wildly entertaining.
But it’s not all just about the laughs. There are moments in Jestus that really made me think. Despite his madness, Jestus has a strange kind of wisdom, and through his chaotic adventures, the book subtly makes you question societal norms and your own perception of what’s possible. It’s a reminder that sometimes, letting go of rigid logic can lead to surprising discoveries.
The writing is sharp and witty, with vivid descriptions that bring each scene to life. Every chapter feels like its own little adventure, and even though the story jumps from one crazy situation to the next, Sury keeps everything grounded in Jestus’s unique perspective. The way the absurd and the meaningful are intertwined is what makes this book so special—it’s not just the laughs, but the little moments of insight that make you stop and think.
I didn’t just read Jestus—I experienced it. It’s a wild, hilarious, and thoughtful ride, and I’m so glad I took it. If you’re looking for something out of the ordinary, a book that’ll make you laugh, think, and question everything, this one’s for you. I’m definitely recommending it to anyone who’s in the mood for something fresh and fun.
