Wow..is there any genre left which isn't explored by Sujatha.

The synopsis doesn't do justice to the story. the synopsis seems to be a usual love story. but the story is, in fact, a psychological drama.

This story is about the relationship between a sprint runner, her obsessive trainer/guardian and journalist who falls in love with her. a slow paced books it explores a person's emotional obsession in a subtle way without pointing out it to the readers. the end felt like it was too lagging.

A different genre, didn't expect this book to be this awesome. it has material for a full feature movie.

ரொம்ப வருஷங்களா "favourite author"ஆ இருந்தவர் சுஜாதா, ஆனா இப்போ சமீபத்துல படிச்க அவரோட ரெண்டு மூன்று நாவல்கள் கொஞ்சம் சொதப்பலா இருக்க, கொஞ்சம் சந்தேகமாத் தான் இதை எடுத்தேன்.

அவர் ரேஞ்ச் என்னன்னு காட்டிப் பின்னி பெடல் எடுத்திருக்கார். கொஞ்சம் எமோஷனல் ஆனா கதை ஆனாலும் இழுவை இல்லாமல், ஒவ்வொரு பாத்திரத்தையும் அக்கறையோட செதுக்கி இருக்கார். சும்மா ஹீரோ வில்லன் னு கருப்பு வெள்ளையா இல்லாமல் நிஜமான ஆட்கள், அதுல அவருக்கு இருந்த global exposure-னால பல உண்மையான டீடெயில்கள், இயற்கையான வசனங்கள் னு ரசிக்க நிறைய இருக்கு இந்தப் பத்து செகண்ட் முத்தத்தில்.

The story is a human drama between coach and athlete. Though the plot and subplot seems to attractive, effect that the plot brings on the reader is very little. What the letter of the coach could achieve in two pages is much more than remaining 130 pages of book. The direction of story and incidents are very weak and not that gripping.

Though the story can bring in the thought that the writer wanted to portray, the effectiveness and environment that is explained were very imaginary and hard to believe. With sujatha being the writer, the expectation was much more but it was a big let down. Unless you are a sujathas fan you can just read the last two chapters and leave the rest. I would have called this book a big disappointment if not for the letter of coach to the athlete.

Rajmohan-Tamilarasi-Manohar-Thiripathi.
Rajmohan and Tamilarasi thoughts running in mind continuosly. Overall a good story. In beginning and some time it feels irritate, rest is too good.

The book "pathu second mutham" is about the athlete who's coach try to make win of the student . The book writing goes as usual in sujatha's style but stilll felt the story could have been better. Few pages were not gripping and lost interest in the middle. Can read it once.
