Very Good
Probably the most good looking book in my shelf. The prose is quite as beautiful too. It's a slow read which I savoured with a cup of Ty-phoo green brewing in the evening, couple of chapters a day. Dystopia has never been so calm. No spoilers, but look out for the creepy serene novel within a novel; it is quite imaginative. Grab this if you want to lose yourself in a surreal dystopia, living midst a surreal situation yourself.

A beautiful and quiet dystopian narrative that will cut you like a blade and you won't even know that you're bleeding.

Value-for-money
This book was definitely amazing. Got it in the best condition and all thanks to flipkart. And the book I guess had it's own pros and cons, pros for me was the interesting plotline and the unique potrayal of vanishing objects, their importance in everyday life but the part where I felt that something is missing is the character development of the protagonist/writer. I was expecting a little more from the book but somehow I felt the end was quite predictable. But it's definitely worth a read.

Fabulous!
Can't say I received a genuine product because it didn't had the plastic cover people are talking about. Maybe someone didn't like and returned it but it was in perfect condition when I received it 👍. So About the paper quality and printing quality no one can have any problems. but yeah you can face the problem of u satisfactory story. since it varies with different people's taste... Overall --- My first ever novel, And I'm satisfied. "⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"...
