Have to come in terms with the fact that Only those with childhood still in them, would enjoy this book. How can such a beautiful language even exist?- That was my initial reaction to this.

Good quality banding and paper

I wanted to read this book for a long period of time. Finally, I have purchased. Page quality is good. The book is received a day earlier than delivery date.

it's really worthy to read ....
one of the best novel to read...
spend a time with the valuable book...
spend money to buy..

Packaging was good. A nice product without any damage.

The author adopts a style of writing in such a manner that subtle instances build into your conscience and the story becomes yours. Words are used as such as the mind imbues with them impromptu instead of being grammatically correct. A not so i...

Each character is weird, the story is full of remorse... But the way Roy has written.... BEAUTIFUL.... The story keeps you glued and it really takes you to the place described and live those character, after reading the book you are in a complete different mood... The writing is that powerful.

If you are looking for something different from that of romantic/action genre, I recommend this book.
