Blogadda when announced this book up for review on 3rd of December, I very well remember I had applied even without bothering to research on the type of book it is. I have been an ardent reader and programmes like these are like cherry on the cake. I would like to thank blogadda for selecting me and giving me this chance.
So what does ‘The Girisham of India’ bring to his readers and fans in eighth book?
The title of the book actually makes it clear about the story it contains. The bestseller she wrote (TBSW) is a romantic thriller revolving around Aditya, Shreya, Maya and Sanjay.
Aditya is shown in the ideal lifestyle with a baking career at its peak and also the bestselling author of his time. Shreya joins his company as a management trainee and what follows ahead is pretty predictable. Aditya although unwillingly falls in love with her and after a while his wife, Maya comes to know of this.
It can be safe to say that the actual plot starts after this revelation. The pace after this picks up speed and I am sure no one can keep the book down after he reaches this point.
Points I liked:
1.The writing style which held suspense for quite a good time.
2. Proper blending of storyline (The part where Maya gets Ebola has been explained in a good way).
3. The unravelling of the twists and turns at proper point. (Sanjay and his storyline have been hidden nicely).
4. The relatibility of the characters and storyline.
Points to have worked on:
1. The protagonist’s side could have been well explained by herself. It would have interested the readers more rather than listening it from her friend.
2. Slow pace at the start of the book.
3. A bit more on each characters and their relationship.
Overall:
TBSW definitely is a thumbs up from me. It is pretty light and easy read and keeps you hooked to the climax too. In other words it is a corporate saga of love, betrayal, friendship, vengeance and family.
It definitely makes the reader a better person by the end and that is what matters.
It is to be made into a movie soon, and it will surely top the charts as it suits the bollwood mind aptly.
Ravi subramanium is safe to stay in this genre.
