Love @ Internet by Rajeev Ranjan
Love @
Internet, the title was not that appealing to me as I thought it will be
another Love Story. But it was not the first time I was reading Rajeev’s work.
I was the one to review his first novel as well and that’s what made me curious
to read his second book.
It started
to grip from initial pages itself.
Rohit the
main lead of this novel and his balcony love made the plot right to start with
and his shyness resembles any youth living in a middle town. The girl leaving
him and going away with her parents and Rohit feeling lonely was a kicking flow
again.
Story is
with packed a pace and if someone is not reading the book with any assumptions
will enjoy it thoroughly. Rajeev can write using a simple plot with a
difference and that’s what provoked me to read his work. If I look at the plot
it is not complicated at all but the way it is presented is very nice.
If I look
at the plotting and addressing the narration, it needs some guidance of some
good editor as at some places story seemed to be meeting eyes with the reader
and all of a sudden the plot is left there unimpressed.
Also some of the editorial errors which a
reader might not catch but being a reviewer and editor it impacted and
irritated me.
None of the
flaws are there because of the Author; I think the publisher is compromising on
spending on editorial part to groom the work to an international level.
I wouldn’t
rate the cover more than 2.5 on a sale of 1 to 5, after reading the novel I
felt there was more to be reflected on the cover page. Cover page is the first
thing which a reader will look at before buying a book.
Again a
good job by Rajeev Ranjan and will be glad to read more from this author in the
coming years.
