NOVEL – OH SHIT NOT AGAIN
AUTHOR – Mandar Kokate
Genre – Fiction Humour
THE PLOT
The protagonist Raj moves to a new locality, befriends with
Sam, Andy, Seema and Arti. They coordinate and conduct various events and enjoy
life together. Many incidents occur some funny, some tragic, affairs, murder
and etc. Finally Raj is pushed into a complicated situation. Will he escape the
series of intrigues he is caught in??
MY REVIEW
The book cover says “National Best Seller” Page 1 says, “You
may die laughing” I bet these two phrases mislead me to get this book. Reading
the blurb, I thought it must be interesting. The story-line is not so bad, but
the way it has been drafted is so pathetic. It just goes on and on and on. It
was neither so interesting nor gripping and it demanded me to finish it off
soon and go ahead with another novel. Genre being “Humor” I was searching for
that factor all through the novel, but it ended. Extra Marital affair which
Sejal wants to have is very childish. And Raj, How on earth he gets attracted
to every gal and still think it is love? Arti, Neha, Sejal and Seema too???
The whole novel never mentions what are the characters
doing..Like studying? Working? Or doing nothing? God knows. At times it looked
too filmy. I sure know writing isn’t that easy. Even blogging isn’t. But
the new age authors should really take proper inspiration from the national
bestsellers, look up on their language, grammar, style and incorporate it before
publishing it as a novel.
P.S - Review first; novel next!
Rating – ?? (Oh definitely not again!)
