Sundari
Venkatraman is a prolific writer and a constant source of
inspiration. I have always loved her writing.
Groomnapped
has all the essential Sundari Venkatraman elements. The words flow
freely and there is not even a dull moment in the book. Her fans will
definitely enjoy the throbbing romance between Ameya and Surekha. As
a romantic writer she may not disappoint with Groomnapped. But when
it comes to the issue of grooms being kidnapped in Bihar, I felt she
has totally belittled the issue. At least she should have titled the
book something else. Groomnapped builds a certain set of expectations
with regard to the theme of the book, which unfortunately are left
unfulfilled. When women are to be respected, men deserve some respect
too. I didn’t like the way the author made fun of Mishra’s looks.
His character flaws are revealed only at a later stage.
Yet,
if you are a Sundari Venkatraman fan, you will enjoy the book.
