REVIEW : 
 
Writing a love story is the most difficult task in today's time. Prashant Kaul just manages to do it with appreciable flamboyance. To Start with the cover page of the book shows an insight into the the everyday life of Dev whoo rows without the company of his parents and is thus just like a sapling that grows without the shade of a tree. As we read more the novel turns into a quirky narrative pf Dev's love episodes and how he tries to find solace in them, but in vain. The story strarts with a bang but became quite slow in the mid and as the reader proceeds towards the ending the book turns out to pick its lost pace. To begin with the actual review, the cover is catchy enough and the reader shall pick the book up just after looking at it once, the blurb as compared to the story gives an apt jist of the entire story. The editing failed to get all the marks, as i feel i could actually find some major flaws in the punctuation and grammatical errors. Overall the language is lucid and will keep the readers hooked to the book till the very end. For me this book has all the qualities to turn into a movie.

RATING : 4/5 ( i am deducting .5 for editing and .5 for the grammatical errors else the book is a quick one time read )

BOOK REVIEW- You never know : sometimes love can drag you through hell by AKASH VERMA.

BLURB : 
 There will be times when you feel you have the best relationship, ever There will be times when it will be the worst that has happened to you There will be times when you know you are getting into something terrible; something that will not stop till it destroys you And yet . . . You will be pulled into it so inextricably, unstoppably . . . Dhruv knew Anuradha was his true love. So, despite being married with kids, he still went ahead with their affair. He hid it from his wife and his colleagues. He told lies so he could be with her-it was that amazing! But he couldn't save himself from the dark secret she was keeping. It pulled him into a vortex of danger so deep that he lost all he had. It happened to him and if you think it can't happen to you-think again.

REVIEW : when you come across such good romantic-thriller book, you just build up a lot of expectations, coming that from an author like Akash Verma you just can't delay in reading his book. i have read his previous two books and his storytelling skills is just amazing. coming back on this book, the blurb gives u a crux about what the story is going to be. since the time i picked the book up i just stepped into the shoes of each and every character when they narrated their parts. The story is gripping enough and you shall not be able to leave the book till the time you finish it off. till the very end it becomes really tough for the reader to predict the ending, the ones liners used in between the story are exceptionally good. The editing is just mere perfect, i couldn't find one single mistake in the entire story. Hardly you come across such books which are just perfect in their literal sense, from cover to blurb to the story writing and infact the editing, for me this book just stood on my expectations on all the grounds. pick this book up and enjoy over a cup of coffee.

RATING : 4.5/5

                     BOOK REVIEW OF 'COLOURS OF PASSION BY SOURABH MUKHERJEE'

When two more murders connected with the case make headlines, it’s time for Agni to find answers to perplexing questions and unveil shocking truths.
The Colours of Passion breezes through Kolkata’s glamorous world of industrialists, movie stars, models and fashion designers laced with drug addiction and illicit liaisons, with a heart-wrenching tragedy at its core.

REVIEW :
Hardly I come across authors who write such amazing thrillers with two of my fav genres infused in a single book. I have been a fan of Sourabh Mukherjee's murder thrillers' and I look forward to read his books every time. The colour of passion 'as shown in the cover' depicts the colour red as it signifies revenge and love too. when I started reading it since the very first page I knew it would very easy for me to find the murdered but as expected I was wrong, since the very first page you will start guessing about the murderer and u will surely doubt each and every character and still you will fail to predict the ending. The writing is crisp, lucid and amazingly captivating, you won't be ale to keep the book down till the time you complete it. The editing is just flawless, from the cover to the blurb, everything is just good, I couldn't find any single flaw that can disappoint any reader. This book can be easily awarded as the best murder thriller of the year.

RATING: 5/5
