My Review
"Oh my godess",
trust me, these were the final words which escape from my mouth as soon as put
the book down. I wonder why I kept it down because I have started rereading it.
Well, now you may have realized how much I adore this work. Jesus! This book
deserves it. Oh my Godess!, is one such books which will remain with me till the end. I wonder whether to call it magic or else but I'm spellbound this moment. Penning down this review is like describing the rollercoaster ride this book gave me. This a story of a boy who hails from a middle class family, Naveen and fall for his boss's daughter, Jassica. And another story moves with it which is of Jackie and Kalpesh, who struggles to make their names in the world. Sooner or later, their wishes were granted.
Story begins with hilarious acts or actions done by Jackie which were constantly recorded by Kalpesh on camera. Both friends were travelling to Mumbai, in a hope that they would explore and utilise their talents and would bloom but luck was hard on them.
Parallely, Naveen was recently placed with a MNC which deals with monetary and was breathing sign of relief until his happiness was knocked out by local goon.
Story was full of entertaining episodes and drama which we see in movies. Let me sum it up in three words. Entertainment. Entertainment. Entertainment. I have never read any fiction by an Indian author who was capable of making me laugh, stress and scared at a same time. But this book did.
Book has done justification on every part which makes this book worth. Right from the title, which was so fresh and catchy. Book cover was just breathtaking and will drive readers to flaunt this book, like I do these days. Story which will be so fascinating and you would be compelled to read it again. Editing done by Kanishka Gupta and Achala Upendran was again amazing, flawless work.
It is hard to say which portion or character I enjoyed the most. But I really loved to read part of Jackie, Naveen and Dexter. Jackie, whose accent was exactly like a typical Up wala, was the most entertaining character. This particular character is so strong that reader would expect to learn more about him. Naveen, a middle class boy who fancy Jassica, business tycoon daughter and get trapped in a house. He did every possible things which any boy would do for Jassica but he succeeds or not, for that you have to read this book. Naveen life was messy but his brain was too fast to make up everything. I adore him. Dexter, the security head of Zaveri's company, a brainy dude who was one of the most influential character you would read. Damn! This guy nailed it. Each character was developed very delicately and in a different manner from the other.
Plot was amazing and full of suspense, that whatever I guessed, used to go into the bin. So much twists and turns, with amazing imagination of author. Personally enjoyed plots were in the initial chapters where Jackie and Kalpesh were having fun when they enroute. Second was when Naveen and Jassica was trapped and after few days mischievous incidents started happening, it was scary for me too. Then I loved how Dexter uses his brain and his conflicts with sub inspector. There's so much about every page I enjoyed but doing so would make me spoiler here.
Author has done fabulous job, be it story, language and narration. This book is "paisa-wasool". I highly recommend you people.
I would rate it 4/5stars. Now, please excuse me because I'm going back to reading this book. At last I would love to thank author, for sending me a copy and accepting my concerns when review was delayed.
