Gaining sympathy by writing a suicide note to an acclaimed author is not really my idea of a fun past time. This book has everything - right from the classic ol’ three friends in a boat to teacher - student adult relationship. Amazingly the student also happens to be the said teacher’s best friend’s sister. When this teacher supposedly lost everything in his life, his student, his friends(this was waiting to happen) and his shop destroyed and one of his friends killed in a riot, what better way to go out than the plain old fashion of chugging sleeping pills as if they were candy.
Readability: It has a pretty basic concept. no qualms there. Level of English used is easy to understand with not much use of higher level vocabulary.
Story: The story will have you getting more and more frustrated as you progress along the book. The protagonist seems to be really weak and needy and sometimes even clingy, yet didn’t think about his poor old mother before attempting suicide. Unimpressed!
Final Verdict: Its a no go, I repeat, its a no go!
