Strength of the Book
Best option to quick read, this story has much moments to let readers be more indulged with the book. Both Raj and Kusum characters are depicted very well in this short journey of entertainment. Dialog writing is quite okay. Simple language is used to let readers finish the story at once. Climax in the ending is amazing that how Raj and Kusum both are connected to each other since earlier they meet. Besides, writer has more insisted the centeralised character to be present throughout the book. Being its type of unique book, this story stands more awesome in the way of presentation.
Weakness of the Book
To give Kolkata look to the story, writer has excessively used Bengali language in such small narration.
Conclusion
Beating with the flow of narration, this book is quite good option to read in a gulp of interest. Proper blend of entertainment with quite interesting story and climax is presented in this book. Describing the pain of a person who is not NORMAL (Beyond the gendership of male and female). Generally, people do not like to interact with the people of other gender and the thing is well described in the story. Besides, the adversities for these kind of people in the society are also discussed. Readers will surely find it more interesting as story has quite running pace of entertainment.
Personal view
It was quite different experience to read such type of novel. As per mine thinking, it is quite difficult to express feeling of those people, avoided by the society and even parents, but writer has put his best efforts in it.
