More Like A Bollywood Movie (Book Review)

Image Source
Book: A Walk In The Rain
Author: Udai Yadla
Publisher: Revelation House Books

A Walk In The Rain is a romantic fiction story, with thick strips thriller thrown into it. The story has several emotions such as love, romance, action, thriller, desperation, longing and certainly, pain.     

The plot of story is about childhood sweethearts who are forced to part ways due to drastic situations; only to meet later in life, again in strange circumstances. The story takes a turn, when in incident the protagonist is killed and he is re-united with his childhood best friend.  


The narration is more like an essay, perhaps the author has tried something new, which did not quite seem interesting. The plot seems average and descriptions of the characters are fine. The story-telling is not very captive. With the elements included in the book, the story, the narration could have been a lot better.  For a debut author Udai’s writing quality is good.
The story-line though lacks surprise elements, can be a decent script for Bollywood movies.

My rating: 2.5 Stars

I received a review copy of the book from Writers Melon in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
