                                                         Book Synopsis


"I want a helicopter on the roof; will you get that for me?" she said. 

"Which chopper?" the stranger queried without an ounce of doubt. 

Bhavna was on an 'accidental date', with a stranger she just met. She embarked on a journey with this stranger, around the world and to its baffling reality, hidden behind the facade of cosmetic speeches scripted for International Forums. 

Their journey is marred with experiences that leave them with questions like, "Is there any space on this planet where money doesn't have control? What really helps to run this world, Hope or Greed?"


                                                         My Review

Money man 21st century super Hero by Abhijeet Singh is a fiction novel which revolves around a girl named Bhavna and her experiences realizing the hideous truth of this cruel world. Book talks about how money acts like a key to every doorways to see and how it makes everything runs without a single break. Bhavna enters the world of money and untold theories reveals one by one regarding  monetary system. She succeeds accepting the truths or just let it go? For that you got to grab the book and read it.

Before starting detailed review of the book I would love to thanks Goodreads for choosing me as one of their Goodreads Giveaway Winner(I still feel butterflies in my stomach remembering the mail I received form you people).
When the book arrived I couldn’t stop myself admiring the book because the cover was just amazing. After reading the blurb I have had four assumptions:
1.       Being a management student I thought book will be based on various economic tools without which world won’t runs.
2.      Bhavna must be someone who is very precious to the stranger in accomplishing some mission
3.      There may be a love story which will be disclosed at the end of the book.
4.      The book might deals with the world we see in  movies.

But all my assumptions were turned down.

Story begins with when Bhavna went on a blind date with a stranger named Arav and went to exploring the various parts of the world which she has not even imagined. Bhavna who hails from a small town of Uttar Predesh moves to Delhi for her higher studies but fate has already decided something different and unusual for her. Whereas Arav on the other side, a boy which every girl demand’s, a charismatic person who changed Bhanva perception about everything about how the world operates.

When I read the acknowledgement I really thought the book will live up my expectation levels but that did not happen because author could have worked hard in shaping the plot of the story. After few pages I found the plot was very loose and needed much attention rather than an intention of just finishing the book.

Narration of the book was slow but I got confused and hurt with every chapter. First the character building of a small town girl was totally wrong, no girl can be so dumb as it was described  in the book. Like, come on everyone knows what’s the reason behind China market growth in spite of low quality product they deliver. Such things doesn’t need to be mentioned because it is understood. Second, I was very hurt when author mentioned about heinous crime that happened in capital in 2012, author actually changed the year. Whenever you mention any facts don’t dilute the information because it hurts the author. Rest, in the book author talks about various part of the history which every Indian knows and is known to a school going student and the one who is illiterate. I really don’t find the dots drawn to bring the reality closer.

All these things can be skipped when language of the book is beautiful but again the book was not at all edited and full of grammatical errors which again makes me feel worse.

Overall the book is just one time read and I would just give 1/5 star. Author need to work hard very hard.
