Review:
'The war scene, heroism, looks so good, patriotic in movies, but in real it's so different. It's hard to explain how it feels when a friend dies before your eyes, when a father sobs on son's chest and a mother goes crazy for her dead son.' Perfectly said. Brilliant story written by the author. Cover is appropriate and according to the story and the title given, leaves you in curiosity of knowing the reason behind putting this title. Starting of the story was good, as nothing new in that. Though I like where the author has described all the scenes in a very nice way. Though somewhere it was repetitive but the story covered it. I liked it how he connected the story of a soldier. The story was very common but it was different. In the end, author revealed the secret was very much secret to me, as what I was assuming reading the novel was different. Kudos to the author for his research, knowledge, writing.
I like-
1) Sam-Arpan long lasting friendship.
2) One sided love for Shradha by Arpan.
3) Way of Narration and writing was nice.
I dislike-
1) Repetitive lines.
2) How Gorilla died.
Congratulations Nikhil, for your third masterpiece in row and Thanks to Lab Academia for providing such a nice read.
I recommend this book to everyone, who just don't need romance but full package of love-friendship-drama.
