Hey Dad! Meet my Mom



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
