Review-

Book Title and Cover- Book title is suitable to the story. Book Cover is lovely. Good job by Cover Designer. Both catches the attention of the reader.

Language and Narration- Language is Simple and inviting. However there's lack of literature. Dialogue writing were poor and must be polished.
Narration is simple and okay.
There are lot of grammatical mistakes in the book which should be fixed. Several typing errors were spoling the reading experience.

Storyline and Plot- Storyline and Plot are interesting. Author has done great job by writing about the teen jokes to the love stories with the confused emotions of teenager. Some chapters were brilliantly written. You could relate the emotions at several points throughout the story. However some chapters were boring.Also the story pace was too slow till they reach Goa.

Ending of the book was perfect and heart touching.

Overall, this book is perfect blend of Love,Friendship,Humour and ofcourse Confusion.

Review- Hues Of Modern Love is second novel by the author,Paras. As this is second novel of the author, readers expect something different and more than just a love story but author has failed to create magic with his words.

Book Title and Cover- First Impression of book catches the attention of readers. Both Title and Cover of the book are okay and matches the story.

Book Review- Chela: The Adventures of Jack and Ty

Author- Saurabh Kumar
Genre- Fantasy Fiction
Publisher- Petals Publishers
Pages- 160
Price- ₹160

Blurb-

- Chela: The Adventures of Jack and Ty is in part a tribute to one of the greatest writers and humorists of the twentieth century, Sir P.G. Wodehouse, and a spoof on the fantasy genre where anything and everything can happen at any given moment and time.
Jack is a hungry jackal, booted out of his clan for being lazy and incapable of providing for himself. One night while wandering a patch of forest he accidentally steps on the tail of a tiger that is understandably furious at the jackal. The tiger Ty, confronts the jackal with the latter begging forgiveness. The commotion dies down and they soon go their separate ways. Fate, however, brings them together again and they soon realize they are both facing a similar predicament – an acute shortage of food. The two strangers soon become comrades and along with Herbert, a cross between a wolf and a pariah dog, set out on a journey through the vast woodland of Baganpore and beyond in search of food. On the way they face perils aplenty in the form of diabolical relatives, cunning scavengers, a mysterious banyan tree and a lake that isn’t what it appears to be.

Storyline and Plot- Both Storyline and Plot of the book are amazing. I enjoyed every page of the book, the story was running smoothly till the very end. The humour in the book was fun to read. I liked the poetic verses on the beginning of every chapter, it was making the reading an interesting experience.

Characters- The Author has given each character fair amount of attention. The characters were perfectly justified.

The book was a smooth read untill the end, i found the end was too fast,author could have added few more pages.
There were lines where two words were merging. But the strong plot and narration covered the slight mistakes.

Book Review- Arjun: Without A Doubt

Book Name- Arjun: Without A Doubt
Author- Dr. Sweety Shinde
Genre- Mythological Fiction
Publisher- Leadstart Publishing
Pages- 306
Price- ₹310 / $11

Review- Arjun: Without A Doubt is the debut novel by Dr. Sweety Shinde which tells the story of Epic Mahabharata from the Arjun and Draupadi's perceptive. The narration by the Arjun and Draupadi, two of the most beloved characters of Mahabharata is the most exiting thing about the novel.Even we all know the story, it still holds surprises.The language of the book is inviting and the authoress has her own style of narration which is intriguing. There are some quotes and one liners in the book which makes  the reading interesting. Characterization of the book was very amazing. It was fun to read about the Arjun and Draupadi's relation. Authoress has succeeded to penned down emotions of Arjun and Draupadi, which makes the reading a new and fascinating experience.
Here are some of the line liners from the book:

" Religion is nothing but a series of conveniently placed loopholes"
" Passion is a feeling born to bear pain. Bear it, or let go"
" Power does not justify sin. Power is not virtue. Virtue is that which lasts inspite of power"
" Absence of questions is not proof of answers"

Though the language is intriguing and story tells us the Epic, the pace of the story was fast which makes the reading experience quiet difficult.

Overall the book is a treat for all those who adores Arjun and Draupadi. I recommend this book to all the Mahabharata and Mythology fans. You can grab your copy at Flipkart, Amazon or any book store near you.

Book Review of I Cud Hav Had 17... But I Chose to Have 19 Chapters by Ashutosh Srivastava

Book Name- I Cud Hav Had 17... But I Chose to Have 19 Chapters
Author Name-  Ashutosh Srivastava
Publisher- Notion Press
Pages- 285
Price- ₹299

BLURB- This is the story of a person who met a lot of temporary people in his life

If you meet a girl in a new place, be it a college, a coaching centre, a train, an office or any other place, and if you find her beautiful, you will definitely try to approach her. You will, maybe, send her a friend request on Facebook. She might accept your request or she might not. But, one thing is quite definite, that she will visit your profile for sure.

This is us; this is human psychology or just the mentality that we have developed over the years.

It's a story of a person meeting different girls with whom he could have had some chemistry, but there was always some or the other 'but'. He had some good features, but his bad ones outnumbered the good. He did some magic, due to which he was able to change his life. Being overweight for him was among his major tensions. However, he lost 30 kgs of weight in six months, and consequently, the people who used to hate him started liking him. The gym freaks are often considered as dumb and writers are often considered as genius. He acted of being both.

REVIEW- This is the debut novel by Ashutosh Srivastava and as a debutant author has done quiet good job. Author has brilliant narrating skills which makes the book page turning.

Book Title and Cover- Book Title is suitable to the storyline and so is the Book Cover. Book Title is catchy which gains the attention of the readers.

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

Narration- To be honest, i read the book in one go because of the narration. Author has amazing narrating skills which hooked me till the end. Some one liners are given, which were making book interesting.

Storyline and Plot- Storyline and Plot is strong. It is the journey of Rudra, the main character from childhood to his graduation and becoming a writer and how he remained single all this time.
Author has penned down some brilliant things which we all have experienced and this makes reading interesting.

There are  fewer technical problems which are very minor and can be ignored. Few more one liners would make the story more interesting.
Also author has added 2 chapters which can inspire you to do what you love and to do what you think you cannot do.

Ratings

Book Cover and Title- 4/5
Language Justification- 3.5/5

So, I Cud Hav Had 17...But I Chose to Have 19 Chapters is light fun to read book which will be surely entertaining and inspiring too.

ABOUT THE BOOK
4000 years was a long time but not for someone who was brooding in revenge.
Two kingdoms, Chaturanga and Sarprakt, separated by a mystic mountain range are at war with each other since ages. Chaturanga, ruled by King Viratha, is soon bestowed with a dynamic heir, and the whole kingdom is drowned in rituals and festivity. On the other side, Sarprakt is executing a cruel conspiracy. King Viratha, crippled by the conspiracy, urges the mysterious man of the mountain to devise a method to recreate the conspiracy and that gave birth to ‘The Game of Chess’.
***
Serial killings shock the nation as the police are rendered clueless. The killer leaves behind a trail of chess pieces with a strange message. Random people are murdered. Connoisseurs of different fields – History, Chess and the Security forces – have united as the next intended victim is the most powerful person of the country.

How is Chess involved in the whole scenario? How will they find a man who died 4000 years ago? Can a person defy the laws of nature? Does history really repeat itself? Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
Let the game begin!
