No Man's Land by Nilesh Shrivastava : A Review

Review –

Reading No Man’s Land was a fine experience.  The book is a about the land which Agastya and Shashwat tries to protect from various hawk eyes who wish to buy it by hook or crook and turn it into another centre for commercial activities. But they don’t want to sell it. The book travels across past and present generation.

This book is totally a character driven and those characters lead the story. Every character is well developed as it comes lives in front of your eyes. If this book was written on plot basis, then it would not have been this much effective. Characterization is the USP of this book. Nilesh Shrivastava has done a fantastic job as a debut author and he is someone to be watch out for. His writing style is mature and crisp. He writes from perspective of real grown-ups.  He lived up my expectations. 

Cover page is perfect and eye catching. It goes very well with the back blurb and the story. The back blurb is perfectly written and gave an impression to readers and intimates them to pick the book. Story is well knitted. He must’ve did some research before writing this novel, and his hard-work can be seen throughout the book. There are so many unexpected twist and turns, which makes the book very interesting. 

No man’s land has a racy plot that will make you sit straight and will force you to finish the book in one go.

I loved the book. This is simply one of those few books that I will treasure always. Some of the quotes are specifically touching and the interesting.  This is the book I would love to recommend to everyone out here. I would like to rate it 4.5 out of 5. You will be hooked to this book from the beginning and at times you would close it and think what I just read. It surely worth a read.
