Reviews

[Tonmoy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Stories of Prachet Gupta I think did not need any kind of introduction. You pick up a compendium of them, you read, you feel and go through all that emotions the characters of the story go through, and in the process you just forget to put down the book from your hand and stop reading.
Pick up and start if you have not started reading one of him yet!
