It is an amazing story conveyed with intriguing simplicity. The hostel life is well depicted, the protagonist is a teenager unlike the adults Poirot and Sherlock. It takes you deep into the story, with intelligent yet simple gadgets which feels closer to reality than the high tech of Bond. Considering the first novel by the author I feel it is a shot at the bull's-eye. It has the complexity of a case and the enthusiasm of Pojo which make it an enjoyable read. The negative points of the novel are none to point. It sets you waiting for the next installment.
