📖

📖

My Views - We all are very familiar with Sherlock and Devdas and their stories. In this book also they play the same role as they are famously known as. But the author has brought them together to make a unique storyline. In this story also Devdas is a rich person who has drowned himself in alcohol to forget his one true love Paro. Where as Sherlock is a new detective who has an exceptional deduction capability. But the main twist here is that Devdas here had to auction his family heirlooms and those mysteriously got stolen and Sherlock was appointed to solve this mystery. The author has beautifully portrayed both the characters differently without changing their original key attributes. 

.

The storyline is full of twists and turns and the climax is really unpredictable. Both the characters support and compliment each other. The story starts in a very mysterious way and along the wayit again merge with the main storyline to give the story a perfect closure.

.

All the characters of the book are beautifully designed and very important for the story to go further. The language is quite easy.

.

Overall a very interesting thriller.

Book Review of  MIRRRO : AT THE WEIRD WAYWARD

MIRRRO : AT THE WEIRD WAYWARD

Author - @mirrroatweirdwayward

📖

📖

Content - On the very 1st day of 2030, a renowned alcohol factory caught by a huge fire. Nobody knew how it started and why the super advanced security equipments didn't work. Similarly on the 2nd day also a huge fire started in a famous cigarette factory and nobody could do anything. A series of fire in various alcohol and cigarette factory started thereafter everyday and nobody had anyclue. Simultaneously forced sex change operation is also happening mysteriously and even police also didn't have any clue.

.

Is the series of unfortunate events is just a coincident or someone sinister is behind all this?Is this somekind of terrorist activity? Read to know the actual story.

📖

📖

My Views - This book talks about some major social and political issues that we are facing today.Drinking, smoking,rape, political unrest,bribe are some issues that we are facing day to day.The author tells us about a solution in near future which is somewhat sci-fi and mythological in a fictional way.

.

The narration and the story line is good and imaginative.The characters are well built specially India's character from whom we can learn a lot.The language is easy to understand.Only drawback in my opinion is that conversations are way too lengthy and 

sometime repetitive which can be monotonous.

.

Otherwise a good story with a great message.

📖
📖
My Views - The book is a murder mystery but without the gruesomeness of it It started with a cozy vibe with beautiful description of Goa.The pace of the book is slow with mysteries building slowly but it is not boring or you will not feel like you should stop reading it.Its great to read how Darya unfolded the mysteries herself layer by layer.The character of Darya is shown as a strong,confident woman though her life is in a turmoil.The supporting characters also play vital roles in the story.
.
The story is written in such a way that every character will fall under suspicion and you can not keep the book down without finishing.
A very well written book by @smitabe once again.

My Views - The book is about stealing a famous painting 'Poppy Flowers' by vincent van gogh.Now the painting has really been stolen many times and is still missing.I love how the author has used real information instead of using some fake name.The story is medium-paced but keep the tension as it is.The narration and the characterization is good.I really like captain's character and the skill-set he possessed.He is master of disguise and a perfect plan maker. But he is not a cold-blooded killer.Other characters like Sylvia,an ex-escort now works as Udham's advisor,Damodar-Udham's right hand man,Hari Mohan Gupta- an honest SI ,these characters also played vital role to complete the story.The language is simple and you will not feel bored as the thrill is continued till last.  Overall a thrilling read. Recommended.
