My Review
A Team of
Extraordinary Bastards by Arka Datta is a beautiful tale of Arya Sen, a
footballer, who after zillions of upheavals finally attain everything in his
life. This book is something which will inspire you. Paths of happiness cannot
be achieved only by walking on spiritual path but one can have or achieve them
living in this world also. This is the core theme or message wants to convey with
this story.
It is difficult
to weave a story using a game and that too an inspirational one but author has
succeeded thoroughly. The story beings with a match, football. The sport was magnificently used in the story which makes this book out of the box as well
as makes its readers hooked on their edges. The book makes you believe in your
dreams again.
This is
something which is loved by sports lovers and liked by all. Language was
readable and decent. Narration was slow allowing readers to read every bit of
Arya and his baffled life. I do not know why such title was choose at first
place but at the end I realized its crux. The cover is beautiful and goes with
the storyline.
Overall the book
succeeds making its reader worth a wait till the last page of the book. I would
rate it 3.5/5 stars. I would like to thanks author for sending me a copy of his
work. Book is indeed special.
