Found it average. The narration could be much better. It felt like a news report citing numbers and data. The connect and flow of the story was missing. But a good attempt made.

Shilpi is reading India's Most Fearless 2
The stories leave you wondering what are these brave men made of? Steel? Such inspiring tales of loyalty, courage and leadership should be included in school books. That will be the least we could do to pay our respect to them. Very well researched, and well written. Kudos to the authors.

India's Most Fearless 2

Shilpi is reading There's Something About You
A light, fun read. The story was not unique but the protagonist Trish was interesting. The story of an ailing father and nagging mother with a highly dissatisfied job was relatable. The plot is sometimes funny, sometimes emotional and other times too good to be true. I picked up the book on a holiday where I had nothing to do, not even TV. Finished it in couple of hours

Shilpi is reading Vichhoda
Don't have words to express the rage that I feel after reading Vicchoda. Perhaps the worst book I ever read. The writing so immature, the characters not developed, the story lacked depth, dialogues so poor, it felt the book was written in hurry. There were random characters who suddenly popped up, here were repeated communications and redundant idioms. The author was piggybacking his last successful Calling Sehmat

Shilpi is on page 182 of 400 of The Vault of Vishnu
Started reading without going through any review-because I blindly trust Ashwin's genre. However, this was a huge disappointment. For the first time ever, I felt disconnected and least interested in the author's book. The monologue pages were so boring. Towards the end I just skipped those pages. The characters were not convincing and the style of writing felt so naive-Imagine an Ashwin fan saying that! VOV upset me.
