My Thoughts About The Book

This book is a work of fiction in which the author has written 12 short stories with a pinch of excitement, pain, happiness, agony, sorrow and the emotions that come in your mind you will find it here.


Though all the stories stand for themselves but the one that touched and pricked me was the one “Misery.” I was left awestruck when I reached the end of the story. I love the way how beautifully the author has crafted the story without giving a hint how it will end.


Each story is complete in itself. There are distinct characters in the story with wholesome features playing their roles with dignity and integrity. Though each story is distinct but as I was proceeding with each story it was getting exciting and I was glued with the book until I finished it. 


The best part of the book is that the stories are not written randomly, instead they have been designed to focus on human emotions. They deliver the multifaceted experiences of distinctive human emotions. It is difficult to predict what is going to be next even if you are the master of the fiction world. If I tell you about my experience I could only predict in the story titled “Fear” that who is the force behind the fear of the villagers and someone who tried to motivate the well-being of the girls in that village.


In this book, you will see the story of a mother-son duo, two people met by luck, two women befriended out of sharing pain, a story that could not lead to a love story and many more. As a whole, this book is a pack of excitement, pain, agony, joy, cheer, happiness and suspense (the last story is epic). At one point you will cry happy tears while on the other sad tears or tears out of pain.  

 

My Note to the Author

You have done a fantastic job in crafting your stories and compiling them in a book. The best thing I like about you for this book is your thought to bring the stories driving through human emotions and experiences.There is no story without a social message or a cause. I wish you all the best for your journey in writing.


If you are looking for fantastic fiction, go for this book. It will not disappoint and you will end up smiling to have chosen this book.
