My Thoughts:

                I have read previous books by Dr. Govind Sharma and there’s only one thing that comes to my mind each book has some current issues. In this book we get to see youths having drug addictions, blackmailing, and honey trapping, etc. Do we ever ask ourselves why these problems occurs or are we too also somewhere contributing to these problems? The author has excellently handled these topics in this book and the plot too mostly revolves around these issues of today’s youth.  

                The characters are well developed. I liked the character of Sadhu a lot he really cares about Aakash a lot and this can be seen throughout the book. I must say that Aakash is very lucky to have some good people in his life who wants to save him from the evil and do well in life.

                I really like the writing style of the author and it feels as if the story is actually playing in front of our eyes. Language is simple and lucid. The narration is good and I must say that the author is very observant about the things happening around especially the problems with youths and through his work he is always enlightening the readers and gives them the pros and cons about the decisions that we youth take.

                The cover page is simple yet will give us a glimpse in what Madhuleena as a character looks like. The title of the book is also apt to the plot and will make the readers curious to know about what the story behind this lady.

                Overall, I must say that I have enjoyed each book by the author and would surely recommend it to readers.

My Rating: 5/5
