Book Review- The Justified Sin by Harpreet Makkar

Book Name- The Justified Sin
Author Name- Harpreet Makkar
Genre- Romance Fiction
Pages- 200

Review- This is the debut novel of the Author, Harpreet Makkar and as a debutant he has done quiet good job. Author has good narrating skills which keeps the reader hooked till the end

Book Title and Cover- Book Title is catchy but after reading the title reader may feel its a crime thriller also book cover is good but nowhere matches with the storyline.

Language- Language is simple but attractive and easily understandable. Even the new readers will find it easy to read.

Narration- Author has good narrative skills, this is the reason i was turning pages after pages and read the book in one go. Storyline and plot of the book is strong. Author succeeded to penned down the emotions of the protagonist which i am sure every guy has experienced once in the life time. Friendship between Saloni and Jay, the initiation of Jay and Prachi's relation, relation between Jay and his dad were written beautifully.

Character- Characters are Jaydeep Saloni Prachi Varsha Shaurya  Jay's dad and other family members.
Characters were given the fair amount of importance, however Jay's father who always supports him and never says no to anything was unrealistic and filmy.

There are few technical problems in the novel and reader keep missing the quotes in the book. Ending was not that perfect, i wanted to feel the ending but author ended up early and i kept missing ending even after the end.

“Frustrated with their current jobs, Uday, Adhyayan, and Rajasekaran team up to start an innovative business, non-existent in India until then. Ignoring all pragmatic aspects of life, they chase their dreams with immense pleasure. However, their journey is no cakewalk, as they confront financial crisis and rejections soon. Uday plays a business trick to triumph over that uninfluenced market; it works initially, but soon boomerangs, blowing the team apart. The police arrests Uday accusing him of illegal activity by his organization.

Were there any blemishes in their plan or was it just a typical Indian market, reluctant to accept an un-experimented concept? Will they be successful in implementing their innovation, staking their hard earned money, stable jobs, relationships, and life?

‘S.O.A.R is the story of chasing a dream, quandary between desire and responsibility, friendship and love.

Join the gutsy journey of three young entrepreneurs. ”

REVIEW- S.O.A.R is the one of the best book i have read recently. A book with perfect title (it couldn't have been better) and plot. Abir has the great ability to narrate a story.

Language is lucid and simple, though it is simple, book has best dialogues wherever required. Though there are some tamil and bengali words without their meaning given but it is overcome by the strong storyline and pace. Character's are justified well, with the perfect happy ending.

There are some errors in punctuation and spelling which are unavoidable. Blurb should have been shortened as it reveals the suspence.

Blurb-
Siddharth Rana, the Joint Director of the IB, is at his wits end attempting to unravel that mystery. Working with the blindest of clues, Siddharth has to race against time to prevent terrorists from achieving their horrific goal-an India laid low by a catastrophe of biblical proportions.
This is a story that leaps across continents, gets to the heart of convoluted terrorist plots and attacks and amazes you with its exposition of high-tech gadgetry and science. It is equally a story of breathtaking bravery, recounted at a mind-blowing pace. At its core, it is also a story about the beauty of relationships.
Relationships that are beyond national boundaries and historic enmities.

Review- "Resonance" is the excellent debut by author Ajay. Book show's the vast knowledge of author about international agencies, how they work, borders or india and pakistan. You're hooked to book from the very first page and you're hooked untill the last page.
Every chapter is ended with the question what next? You're forced by the strength of the plot and story to turn the page.

About the cover and title of book, it is perfect for the plot as the plot revolves around the scientific term Resonance   which is used  by a terrorist group to destroy a dam.

Language is simple and easily understandable, only thing which i missed is dialogues and effective writing skill. You keep missing the effective  writing which is covered by excellent plot and storyline.

There's a love angel too between Aryan and Juhi who study together in US. The thriller is peppered with high end gadgets which a story a filmy feel.

Book Cover- 4/5
Language Justification- 3/5
Character Justification- 4/5

So Resonance is the Must Read book for thrill and patriotic friction lovers with lot of knowledge.

Blurb-
A well-to-do business family, whose members are torn apart by a turbulent father-son relationship shrouded in mistrust, suspicion, and contempt for one another- a result of the vagaries of the son's mind and its maladies - suffers silently. Well-wishers fear that Badri is suffering from a mental derangement, and is on the brink of wiping away his father, Siveswara's hard-earned fame and fortune. Unaware of the boundless periphery of its affliction, descendants of the five-generation lineage are confounded with an enigmatic and stigmatizing battle of their lifetime which they have to decode and overcome in order to ensure the well-being of the ensuing generations

Review-
Then title and book cover matches with the theme and content of the book.
Language and Literature of the book is greatest strength of the book. Book shows us the Hyma ma'am love towards literature.
The Withering Banyan is narrated in two parts, present and past which emerges at the end making the end perfect.
First chapter is written so well that it increase enthusiasm of the reader to read  the next chapters.
Narration is simple and attractive.
The negative thing of the book is additional description of certain events.
Use of adjectives and adverbs in the dialogues. More description about the Schizophrenia would have avoided confusion.

Book Review- Second Spring by Sandhya Jane

Book Name- Second Spring
Author Name- Sandhya Jane
Genre- Romantic Fiction
Pages- 288

BLURB-
This is Avantika’s heartfelt journey through love and life…

As a smart, successful, thirty-eight-year-old single mother, Avantika seemingly has it all: a great career as a seasoned banking professional, respect and admiration from her peers as an able leader, fulfillment as a mother, and so many other things.

What is it, then, that drives her towards Rohan, a man six years her junior? He’s a man who ideally would not occupy much room in Avantika’s otherwise sorted mind space.

She has told herself she has no time for love. Then, why does she make the choices she makes? Is it the sameness and banality of everyday existence? Is it the emotional vacuum? A need to relive life? A feeling that life as she has truly lived and felt is passing her by?

However, as she struggles with her feelings, Avantika and Rohan part ways… only to meet again. To what end? Why does Rohan want her back… and why now?
So many questions! Very few answers!

Avantika’s journey is as spiritual as it is emotional. Can love give second chances? Join Avantika in the twists and turns of her story, through her ponderings over the mysteries and vagaries of the word “love,” the complexities of human relationships, and the reassessment of all the values she has held dear...

Review- Title and Book Cover manages to catch the attention of readers. Language is simple but intriguing. Although the story is not extra-ordinary but the narration is amazing. Story is narrated by the point of views of Avantika and Rohan, main characters of the story. Sandhya ma'am succeeded penning emotions of both the character making us (readers) turn the page after page.
Book covers the mordern topics makes the story real. The poems gives warmth to the reading.
