This
novel opens up an interesting premise for the readers. You are
fascinated to know where this journey is going to lead. The author
succeds with a terrific opening. The blurb has already raised your
expectations. But unfortunately the novel falters and doesn’t
deliver what is promised in the blurb. Lines like The
next morning I woke up because of the noises made by those mad
people. But when I treated them politely, they said I was sitting
there just for masturbating to criminals. Criminals were assaulting
the society. Why should are you interested in it?
demonstrate the crying need for an editor’s job. A good editor
would have certainly shaped this fictitious dream into a good
fiction. Yet
I congratulate the author for trying something new and not falling
into the trap of formula.
