Good Start, Predictable Storyline (Book Review)

Book: Letters To My Ex Author: Nikita Singh Publication: HarperCollins (India) As the title of the book explains it is about conversation between two lovers turned exes just that it is in form of letters (mostly).   The story is about Nidhi and Abhay who break off their relationship at a very unexpected moment – their engagement. The entire storytelling is in the form of the letters; which tells the reader about their love, relationship, thought process, confusions. Some parts of the story took m e back to my teenage years.

Well Drafted Courtroom Drama (Book Review)

Image Credit Book: Unlawful Justice Author: Vish Dhamija Publication: HarperCollins India This is the first book that I have read of Vish Dhamija. After reading this book, I am now tempted to go back and read all his earlier books. Vish has beautifully described the plot and moves from one scenario to another with fluid grace. His language is simple, yet it carries the weight of the story, the emotion and tension between the characters with ease. He doesn't attempt to overdo things, be it explaining the characters, or a particular scene and keeps the suspense well-hidden within the story. The book has the potential to become a Bollywood potboiler. As you read the book, the pre-murder, murder scenarios and the court-room saga becomes a visual scene inside your head and you do not want to put the book down. Not even for a moment.
