Strength of the Book
Book starts with amazing prologue which stitches readers with the story. Well-set characters are played in the book. Plot chosen is very nice and suits to modernisation running in our lives. Describing past and present seperately with a date pattern, way of presentation is good. There comes a time, when readers find their interest with the book at peak. Smita and Krishnaprem characters are crafted much beautifully and writer has perfectly used the location of Delhi city to give it more original look. Ending is done so peacefully by making everything clear and solving each and every matter running throughout the book.
Weakness of the Book
So much characters are introduced in the story which make readers perplexed with the story. At time, few things have introduced unnecessarily which let readers to skip away the pages. No literature is used to depict and enliven the romance part of the book. Holding together the suspense and love story, it at mid annoys readers who are fond of only one genre. Way of presentation is so simple. Story has much ups and downs of twist of interest. Epilogue is damn precised and is sum up of the entire theme at once.
Conclusion:
Having strong theme of love and suspense, this book talks on one of the sensitive topic AIDS. Flakes of emotions, mystery, plane romance, a touch of teen age and then of maturity make it a good read for readers who love to have all the things in a single book. Book cover is not attractive. Blurb is too short and does not expresses more about the story, which stands a big negative factor. In the mid, story is stretched so much. Romance in the book is not of that level. Also, though the suspense factor is mentioned well but a little bit weak way of presenting such strong theme diminishes the expectation of readers. This book ensures full entertainment and shock-read. Way of co-ordination between past and present narration is really appreciable. Depicting the intense desire of a male for his dear one, this book would surely be loved by the readers of mid-20s and 30s. And yes, writer is right to write that patient gives up hope when he comes to know that doctors make him fool, but the truth is there is no drug to cure AIDS.
