Nothing new I felt reading the book! However what I felt was AMAZING!
The narration is good and catches the senses. You feel refreshed and would like to live your college days again. The Author speaks about ‘Infatuation’ and other feelings that everyone goes through at some point or the other. Story connects with the reader.
What I liked was the way the story started, it sounded like a story based on a village background but gradually it moved to a metro and the way transformation and transition happened was smooth. Author did a good job that the reader doesn’t even feel when he reached Delhi from a village.
I felt like revisiting my teenage reading the story.
I have no idea why Authors in India are inquisitive about using “Regional Language” phrases in their books. I take this attempt as writing “Hinglish” and not “English”. I have seen books getting stuck within boundaries of the country because of this small mistake. It breaks the flow and for me it was a big look back for me in the book. Reading Hindi statements written in English is irritating most of the times.
Another editing error observed was evident and was new to me. Every time the Author mentioned any name in the story, names were given special treatment with “Quotes”. It gave a strange look to the narration and as a reader I kept on thinking, why? What? Where? When? – Nothing correlated. “Quotes” with a word in writing signifies something special in the narration and all the names mentioned in the book cannot be special.
The book needed an editor’s eye!
Overall, the story line was catchy though was no indifferent. Author showed his potential and with help of a good editor his work can reach places.
