Summary
‘Honesty for sale’ is a modern day
thriller that revolves around the role of technology in tuning and shaping the
lives of individuals. It delves deep into the fine precedents of politics,
intelligence agencies and the vigilante cyber citizens. In order to decode the
mystery inside this action-packed package, grab your copy.
My opinion
Strong plot, stronger characters and
the strongest setting- is all that it takes to describe this novella. ‘Honesty
for sale’ is a state of the art of thriller/ mystery novellas. The cover of the
book seems stodgy but when the pages are turned, an overall new energy and
enthusiasm grips your soul.
Talking about the technical aspects,
the cover could have been made more intense. The blurb is catchy. The
typesetting and organization of the content if fine.
The plot is strong (like I said
before) but there is one weak point- the shortest ever dialogues, which may
baffle the readers. Had the conversation been more refined, proper justice
would have been done with the story/ book. Yet again, my personal grudge for
the use of Hindi words, continues. Time and again one can feel disengaged from
the plot as it will take immense concentration and solitude for connecting with
the story. So definitely this book cannot be classified as a light read.
The editing lacks cleansing (in
figurative way). But a great head start and a sincere
attempt made by the author, to leave the readers wanting for more.
Best wishes to the author!
Drawbacks
There are some punctuation errors
and at several places an unnecessary comma has been used. Short dialogues may
confuse the readers.
