Now, Review Time –

I have been very choosy when it comes to reading debut authors as many of them disappoint me. And I avoids reading chic – lits. And it’s a good thing that now days many authors coming with different stories instead of repeating mushy love stories. And this book serves you good romance and a story as well in backdrop. This book highlight issues related to people and their problems.

Sale Of Souls is a story set up in village in the times when India is developing country. I would not like to go to story as it will spoil the charm of reading it. Author has amazed me with his writing style.. His narration skills are awesome. Very different from all others. He fixes the plot so perfectly that you can never doubt that it’s a fictional story. Story is well knitted. All the characters are described very well.  Vidyadhara has given best possible ending with a good. Good thing about book is it unfolds twists one by one. And it never seems like author is stretching the story. Author has handled situations very well and tried to show many issues through the book.

Verdict – 

A Gripping book which doesn’t allow the reader to keep the book down until you finishes reading it. A complete page-turner and with a message in end and a good story. I would like to rate this novel 4/5. This book worths a read.
