Reviews

[Shabana Mukhtar · Rating 4 out of 5]

Irrespecive of the title, and what rating I give, I love his work.
Ibn-e-safi, the person who introduced me to the world of suspense and thriller at young age of six (ish).
Growing up, it was a challenge to get hold of his books. Thanks to the people who put a lot of effort to digitize all his books.
Since past three years, i read all his 150+ books, Imran Series and Jasoosi Duniya, at least once in a quarter. Yes, that is how much I like his work. Sue me, if it is wrong.

[विकास 'अंजान' · Rating 3 out of 5]

एक रोचक उपन्यास। उपन्यास छोटा था लेकिन कहीं भी बोरियत का एहसास नहीं हुआ। एक बार पढ़ना शुरू किया तो ख़त्म करने के बाद ही रुका। इस उपन्यास को पढने के बाद इमरान सीरीज के अन्य उपन्यासों की तरफ भी तवज्जो दूँगा। उपन्यास के विषय में और आप इधर पढ़ सकते हैं:
साँपों के शिकारी
