The novel is basically a diary of a boy where he described how he faced the atrocities that life threw at him; in a plot that takes you back to 1999-2000. Confused and blank as most teenagers, uncertain about love and at the same time trying to cope up with guilt; the novel describes his daily turmoil with life and his family. After reading this you might get a clear idea about political situation during that year, than what was actually up on some character’s mind. The turn off in the novel is the sad ending which I personally don’t appreciate. Hence I rate it 3/5
