About
the Author: Sandeep
Sharma and Leepi Agarwal
After
going through the book, one gets a feeling that this is probably not the first
book from the author. Reason is simple: wonderful usage of language and right
quantity and quality of twists and turns. This can probably be explained by the
fact that he is known reviewer. An absolutely different storyline, which could
have been a risk, if not penned properly.
However, the author, does a commendable job.
About
the book : I would like to keep this book in the category of a
Psychological Thriller. It kept me on tenterhooks as to what is going to
come next, what turn is the story going to take next. Personally, I am scared
of ghosts and never watch a ghost series too, but this book really did not
scare me away, even when the protagonist could see his son, who could not be
seen by anybody else. Probably, the ghost was too cute to be scared of.
From
the Reader’s point of view: As a reader, I could not keep the book down till I finished the
last page. Generally, these days, a fiction is atleast 200 pages, but this one
is only 157 pages, again compelling you to complete it at once.
Negatives: I felt that the story which otherwise
went at full speed, took long in the flashback portion.
The
Storyline: Puneet
is a banker, who can see his future son. This future son tells his present
father, that if the father delays in getting married, he may never be able to
come into existence. Hence, the search or as they call it operation “Find Mom”
begins.
Who
is this boy? A ghost or somebody else? Do both of them together are able to
find a wife for Puneet, to become future Mom to future son... too many futures
I believe...., but finally leading to an interesting, and witty encounter of a
man with his future son.
Publisher: Gargi Publishers
As
I said, it could have been a risky project, being of a different genre, so
coming out with this book, the Publishers have actually shown that they are
willing not only to give a chance to debut authors but to take risk as well.
Cover
Page: A beautiful
cover page, justifying the book. Full marks for that.
Overall
Rating: 4/5
