Happened to read this book recently though it was published in 2007. Frankly speaking, I did not like the book.
The writing style is as a conversation and hence this is an easy read, but there is definite discontinuity happening at some places. The thoughts and dialogues of characters mix at several places and the ambiguity does cause some level of irritation.
The book should be having lots of woman fans as it is after all the life of a girl – Paro – authored by a lady. I believe this will be closest to how a woman thinks because of this.
It was surprising for me to read a book written by a lady showing the picture of women going around with men - married or otherwise - and saying that having an affair is just fun. Understandably they resort to crying their heart out when the guy with no values’dump’ them and walk away with another woman or continue with their legitimate relations. Well, personally I found this quite stupid. This is purely my thought and no offences to any one who may feel my view totally absurd here.
Usage of profanity is another issue for me. Though it is a fashion, when you read too much of profanity is a little difficult to take. Some usage is ofcourse fun.
Rajashree is another new entrant in the literary world. Chetan Bhagat was a grand success writing similar books and I do believe several more will come. I think never before did Indian authors connect with the common masses as these guys do. I would like to really thank them for their endeavours. Wishing Rajashree all the very best.
