Review-

College Days is yet another Teen Fiction which revolves around College, Girls and Mischief and Hostel.

Though book has nothing new to give, author has good storytelling skills which holds the readers with the book.

Book Title and Cover- Book Title is interesting and appropriate with the book. Cover is catchy and suggests us about the genre and content. 
Both Title and Cover catches attention of readers.
Blurb is short and could be made more interesting.

Language and Narration- Language used in the book is simple and easy to comprehend. 
Narration is done in Third Person Narrative and is done well but could be improved in next book for better reading experience.

Characters- Author has tried well to portray the College Goer characters and he succeeds to do so. However, Characters of the book lack depth and thus I was unable to relate to them even though theme is pretty much relatable.

Storyline and Plot- Plot of this book is simple and has nothing new to give. However, Storytelling is what binds you with the book. Scenes are written well and they flow smoothly. I loved the humour in the book. It made me enjoy this book.

You can read this book to relive and cherish college days but do not expect extraordinary plot.

Review-
Book Title and Cover- 3.5/5
Language and Narration- 3/5
Characterization- 3/5
Storyline and Plot- 2.5/5

Final Rating- 3/5

All in all, College Days is average read and could be enjoyed by readers who want to relive college days/memories.
