I just wanted to read a book by Shobha De. I picked up Strange Obsession in the library, went home and started reading it.
I didnt like the first few chapters itself. The starting itself is so dull. After the first few chapters, I lost interest, but wanted to complete it to see whether there were any surprises that she would fling at me. But, to my disappointment there were none, its as predictable as a B grade hindi movie.
No character development, no sense of humour, nothing exciting, but one feeling of all encompassing sickness. Cant even call it sick, coz there was nothing sickening in it either. Logicless stupidity! Not even steamy sex. I expected some hot sultry description, but the sex was boring to say the least.
If the main character has strange obsession, there should be some reason other than half-baked stories that are provided. and there is no damn time for the obsession to develop, doesnt make sense to me.
Well, this book is not at all worth your time even for timepass. Pick some other thriller, or even a mills and boons.
