What
I liked about the book:
The
author being a businessman himself has written well about how the corporate
world works. The political and corporate nexus too is well defined and
explained. The way the characters are introduced in the plot, their roles are
well etched. I also liked the use of poems at apt places in the story to depict
the mood of the plot.
What
I didn’t like:
A
reader would have liked to know more on how Atul and Roshni met and fell in
love, which is not mentioned. Some more details on Jyoti, Roshni’s sister on
why she was hell bent on destroying Roshni’s life. Too much of corporate lingo makes a reader,
who is not well versed with those words feel lost.
In short, one must read this book, if you like to read fast-paced, which gives a realistic feel and knowledge of corporate world, laced with passion, love, treachery all in one.
