Because my head started spinning after I read this. And I am not even talking about the hundreds of grammar mistakes I found in this 110 page novella. Okay I am talking about that too because I felt like a teacher checking an exam paper with a pencil in my hand, correcting stuff and getting annoyed as hell.
(A) This book needs a serious brutal editor. (That can be blamed on the publishers)
Now It might be the most difficult thing I do, but I CAN overlook past those errors, if only the book gave me something to look forward to.
(B) The writing style feels like the author deliberately tried to make the book elegant by using a thesaurus but failed miserably. Because sometimes simple writing is needed. Just using big words does NOT make it good writing.
Reading this book felt like reading Joey's letter all over again. From "They are warm people with big hearts" to "They are humid homo sapiens with humongous aortic pumps." See the difference. It is comical when the author uses such words in a serious scene. And THAT TOO WITH THE WRONG SPELLING.
(C) The characters just got on my nerves. The dialogues, their nature, everything was so unrealistic that it became annoying to even read their names. (And the author did mess up with the names as well).
(D) Messed up point of views and tenses. From first person POV to third person with no differentiation. From past to present. It was all a big jumble. A big mess.
(E) Okay so the story is the only thing that even kept me reading. the murders had me curious and even with everything, I just hoped that it would have a solid plotline which would blow my mind and all this wouldn't have been for nothing. I was sorely disappointed. yes, the story was intriguing but nothing extraordinary. Moreover, the author had to go and ruin it in the end.
NO. A major plot twist is not ALWAYS needed in the end. Sometimes it ruins the story and that is what happened.
(F) I can't even give it stars for a good title or cover. Even my Accountancy book looks more attractive than this book cover. Also, what was the point of complicating the name. It is something I won't even remember and even though the author explained the reason behind it, I felt like it had no connection with the book whatsoever.
Overall verdict: What could have been a simple and entertaining read was ruined by overcomplicating things.

Intimidating Obscurity, A Pursue to Eternity by Dimple Singh. A romantic thriller states the love and betrayal. The story is about Stella Stewart, an young girl. Who lost all her close ones ( Mother & two friends) in an week of time. Who did the murder? And Why they murdered them?
Also the interesting part is why Stella had married Robert, when she hates him most. As an story I liked it most but in the narration POV it confuses me alot, from first person to third person narrative author here made the read rugged.
The language used is little enriched and the typos & grammatical mistakes and plot errors like unwanted twist at last pages of the story makes my read more tougher. This is the debut story of author and she made all the possible attempts to make story interesting but the unrealistic nature of characters makes my read difficult.
The very first impression of this short novella is its blurb well written in an interesting manner and the cover have been too done better.
Overall, A good story with much needed attention from editing and narration point of view.
My rating - 2.5/5

A Quick review-
Plot- Okayish. Could've been better.
Vocabulary- High level. The author could've used her time to develop the plot, rather than making the vocabulary part complex.
A lot of Typos and errors. The book needs vigorous editing.
Ending twist wasn't required.
Narration- Rough transitions between the first person to third person narration. Could've been smooth.
The author should have focused on keeping the plot and narration simple, along with regular vocabulary, rather than making everything complex and complicated. The names are even messed up at few instances. Like the other counterparts, the book title is with complex words. It must be clear that the complexity it not always directly proportional to greatness. The book cover is not attractive either.
Overall,
only a 2-star rating from my side.

******* I got a free review copy in exchange of an honest review. ******************
Two words to define this book: Complex & Complicated. A book should be able to touch the soul of the reader and the reader should be able to feel everything happening with the protagonist. However, if you are constantly required to activate your grey cell, right from the beginning to decode the title, then somewhere, something is lacking in the book. To read this novel one needs to keep the dictionary handy which makes the journey extremely bumpy.
Intimidating Obscurity is a complex story with some unnecessary twists which further complicate the plot. Narration style is not at all impressive. A simple narration style always triumphs in impressing the readers. WIth numerous grammatical errors, the book was an okay kind of read.
The characters are also very complex and the reader fails to connect with them.
Overall, Intimidating Obscurity is a below average book with poor execution. Could have been better.

March 29, 2017I got a free review copy of this book from a website and I am glad that I didn't buy it. When I had read the title and the synopsis, I'd had high hopes for it. I'd been intrigued by the synopsis, it was fairly catchy.
Though as soon as I started reading it, I knew that it wasn't as awesome as I'd expected it to be. It wasn't even half as good.
I felt as if the book had been published too soon, it seemed to be the first draft itself.
The character, Stella is supposed to be an American yet she gives 12th board exams and gets 97% or something. The author seems to have done no research at all about the American education system. And if the character was supposed to be living in India, then it was never clarified to be so.
Later, as she gets the news of her mom's death, she boards a plane to Chicago, she seems to be more worried about the fact that whether it was a murder or suicide...if my mom had suddenly died, I'd be in too much of a shock to even think clearly.
There were many other mistakes that I noticed, but of course I'm not gonna enlist them all here.
Unfortunately, I just couldn't bring myself to read the whole book, but from as much as I read, I could draw up a fairly honest review.
I think that if the author had given the story a little more time, refined it a little more, done a bit of research, added a little emotions and feelings, then it'd have been an actually good read.

Intimidating Obscurity A Pursue To Eternity is a beautiful story written by Dimple Singh. The story revolves around the protagonists Stella Stewart, her love Rey and Kimaya who loves Rey too.. The theme of the story is Selfless Love of a woman,her Sacrifices and betrayal she received in return..

To know what made her to leave Rey?? What was the real motive behind a stranger being continuously harassing Stella and spoiling her life?? Will they be together? What was that mysterious call all about?? To know all these, do grab ua copy of this book and read on..
Honestly it was a simple and nice read.. But I'm a bit disappointed by the way the story ends.. It could have been much more better.
Positive Aspects:-

● Characters are well crafted.
● An ideal blend of romance and suspense work.
