More Like A Bollywood Movie (Book Review)

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.

A Soul Stirring Journey! (Book Review)

Image Source Book: The Seeker Author: Karan Bajaj The climax of the book is just unexpected. Well that's not how you would expect me to begin a review, but it's simply not what I had anticipated. In fact with the twists and turns I actually had no idea how the book will end. Had completely given up all my presumptions. I'll be honest, first few pages were a little boring for me. Perhaps, because the beginning is slow or maybe because I thought this packing your stuff and going away is a 'very guy' thing. Alright, the fact is I was jealous of Max, that he could just walk away from his corporate life towards a different life...... However, I continued to read; I was curious to know how far does Max go in order to reach that state where he feels detached from the world yet one with every tiny bit of the universe. And boy what a journey that was! I enjoyed it :)
