The Magic Vodka Wardrobe: Book 3 Kindle Edition

by Sheila Patel (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 18 ratings
Rajeev’s caravan remains parked on the roundabout, and the Easter Fair is in full swing. Bruno Mars is still playing on full volume, and the vodka continues to flow through the gals’ veins.
Yes, we are back in the crazy world of Sheila Patel. And all is good. Well, nearly.
The usual suspects are up to their usual reprehensible tricks. Flying chuppels and flip-flops make way for happy times at the Leeds Road police station. Letters to James Bond segue seamlessly into cricket, Shaz’s birthday celebrations, Diwali fireworks, bobble hats and ghee. further generous helpings of Indian diaspora insanity, in other words, and … oh, did I mention a wedding? I’m sure there was one in there somewhere.
I have now consumed (in large glasses, and with no ice) all three ‘Vodka’ offerings, and there is as yet no sign of the author’s invention flagging. These are truly ‘feel good’ books for the comatose generation.
Grab one – any one – and dive in.
Recommended for a hangover (giving you one, that is, not curing it). Warning: Contains nuts, and the occasional goat.

    5.0 out of 5 stars And here we go again---a great read!
    Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2019

    Once again Author Sheila Patel takes us on the fun-filled, whirlwind of lives in the Magic Wardrobe disco lane with our now beloved characters Shaz, Trace, Sheila, and the ever patient Bachittar. We travel with the ladies month by month as they experience heat waves, a trip to the palace that I'm sure the Queen will not forget, love, fatbergs, the holidays, and the never ending hangovers.

    The laughs are plentiful in this entertaining tale, spiced up with the antics of friends and family members that will keep you grinning to the end. I adore my time in the Magic Wardrobe--a great read that leaves you wanting more! CAUTION: you may have a sudden urge for a voddy when reading, #JustSayin.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Who's Ready for Some Fun?
    Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2019

    What a whirlwind of fun! Patel’s characters Shaz, Trace and Sheila face the heat, get invited to various parties and brave the dreaded holiday season. All the while they are drinking and meeting at their favorite place to give Bachittar a hard time. Such a quick and entertaining read.
    Having read this out of sequence, Patel’s writing was crisp, clean and electric with minute details. Some moments made me laugh out loud. Seriously, the letter to James Bond was a riot! Yet at the same time, I truly wanted to join Shaz’s party, however I would need at least a bottle of aspirin and Bloody Mary for the next day’s activities as a recouping devise. Bravo to Patel for making a fun, amusing and light hearted story swirled with an endless bottle of vodka. Alright, I am going to download the other parts to see what I missed!

    In today’s maddening world, this story was refreshingly chaotic and a great escape. Delightful and quirky situations, I never knew what was going to happen next with these fun-loving family members and friends: Shaz, Sheila, Trace, and Bachittar. Reading this story was like being invisible and naughtily peeking into windows or out from them. You never know what you will find when you shouldn’t be looking. But just in case invisible peeking isn’t for you, I’ve nabbed some gems for you.

    "She looked over at Skinny Rita, who was using her burkha as her own makeshift picnic blanket."

    "Soon the cocktails were ready, all bubbling and smoky. Slowly, the girls took tentative sips. It tasted like a mixture of rhubarb, polo mints, and a Twix bar, and it was strangely refreshing."

    "Knackered mothers in pyjamas were sleepwalking into the shop, at a loss as to how to get their kids to fall asleep …"

    This story is really lots of fun. It’s beautifully written and takes you on a wonderful and charmingly bumpy ride. Enjoy!

    Another cracking book from Sheila Patel, roaring with laughter at the latest voddy filled adventures of Aunt Sheila and her nieces.

    Comical short stories with captivating characters. My personal fave was Sheila's voddy & night nurse fuelled letter to James Bond!

    A cracker of a read, recommended to all seeking some humour and many giggles!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic and ridiculous. A great read to bring a smile.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 13, 2019
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    A cultural romp through the changing seasons and alcoholic festivals, from Easter to Diwali, a vigil for David Cassidy to the erection of a new telegraph pole. There is always an excuse to party. Our Shaz, Trace and Aunt Sheila are as ridiculous and plastered as ever as they watch the melting pot from their corner shop that includes their dad who thinks he’s The Fonz, Nobhead The Rottie, the Avengers Kids, Pandora Patel and Tattoo Tony, tackling the cultural crises’ of our time. Is it possible to get kids to sleep with the internet switched off? Can you cook Christmas Dinner for a whole street on disposable BBQ’s after a ‘Fatberg’ takes out the gas mains? Will James Bond come and fix the gate at number 56?
    Another crazy, fabulous and irreverent look at a Bradford community getting on with life the best way they know how.

    Reviewed in India on December 2, 2019
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Even Though This Happens To Be The Third In The Four Book Series Yet It Can Be Thoroughly Enjoyed As A Standalone Read. The Magic Vodka Wardrobe By Sheila Patel Is Not Only Entertaining In Abundance But Also Introspective Behind The Veil Of Humour As It Offers Reflections On What It Was Like Growing Up In The ‘70’s When The World Was Quite Different From What It Is Today.
    If You Don’t Belong To The Era Around Which The Magic Vodka Wardrobe Revolves Then Nobody Can Be Blamed If You Don’t Get The Sarcasm That Flows Deep Like An Undercurrent Below The Surface Of All The LaidBack Bonhomie.
    Even Though You Get A Fairly Good Idea Irrespective Of Which End You Decide To Start Getting Intoxicated On The Magic Vodka Wardrobe By Chasing The Shots With One Bottoms Up After The Next In Quick Succession. Yet, If You Want To Flow With The Tide, It Would Only Be Prudent To Start At The Beginning And Go Binging One Diary At A Time In A Relaxed And Laid Back Manner Following It In A Chronological Manner. So That The Timeline Flows Consistently Though Many Readers Me Included Decide To Opt Plunging Into Sheila Patel’s Volume 3 As It Is The Quickest Of All The Reads And Get So Engrossed Before They Decide Which Way They Want To Travel Next? Move Ahead Onto The Next Rollercoaster Ride Or Move Back To Book 1& 2 Where It All Started.
    Each & Almost Every Character Is Nutty In Their Own Unique Way But It’s Only When The Paths Cross That The Laugh Riot Really Begins In Full Earnest.
    Be It Tattoo Tony Or Skinny Rita. Lady Fatima Or Gypo Bob Or Shaz And Bachittar Each Of Them Unique Characters Shall Leave You Chuckling At Their Antics Many Of Which You Could Actually Relate To If You Love Guzzling Vodka While Pub Hopping As A Gang.
