Preeti Singh's Flirting with Fate, Started off the book with a dedication to her mother followed by a series of thanks to all the family members including the Non Believers, which had me gripped to the book from the get go.
Its so true that for writers, the world is not an easy place you get ridiculed and even laughed at. But As mentioned in the book, as "Col Hari Easwaran" once said, "the ones who cause a storm within you are your real teachers." I truly accept the above lines and have lived it myself.
Characterisation for a crime thriller is a must and the way in which the author portrayed the characters is truly commendable, you feel as if you are seeing that character in front of you while you are reading the book, be it from the part when Amma is making paratha's and murmuring, to the part when fluffy growls in hunger are the parts which further hooks you on in reading the book.
Be it the character of Amma, or the children in the orphanage, right from Anand to Fluffy, i mean In a book / in a novel human characters are broadly highlighted, but have you ever thought about what might be the perspective of a pet dog. what does a woof mean..?? which adds to the humor of the book.
The search of Anand for love, his ways and destructive means and his Journey, are beautifully scripted.
What goes around comes around or as the tagline says Karma Returns, you will feel is so true, which is. .. Reading the book and my journey while reading it was good, and made me think about Karma, and, not to forget the emotional and the unpredictable ending, which adds many more stars to it.
In short a highly recommended book and a must read. A gripping book which doesnt allow the reader to keep the book down until you finish reading it and when you complete reading it you feel why did it end so soon.
"Inhale the fragrance of my rose as Karma Returns."
" Karma: It will get you when you least expect it."
