My Thoughts:

The characters are well written and well developed. The relationships are also well portrayed the feelings that Chandra Kanth goes through and the instant attachment he has with Sara is written very well. The readers would instantly feel sorry for CK and would hope that everything goes well with him and he actually gets the love from his father that he has craved for since his birth. The plot and the sequence of scenes has been carefully organised and keeps the element of curiosity remains intact till the end.

The main drawback of the book is editing. The book has some mistakes and grammatical errors. It needs to be re-edited otherwise it is a good book and the plot is also good.

My Rating:

3.5/5

Dancers in the Dark Author: Ejaz Ahamed Pages: 298               After reading this book, the very first thing that came to my mind was, ‘Is there humanity?’ If yes what is humanity? This was a very emotional read for me. The story revolves around Kalki, her brother Karthi, and Shreyas whom we will meet later in the story. Karthi is a seven-year-old who is suffering from a skin condition that makes her skin dark compared to other dark people. People are constantly making fun of her calling her a ‘darkie’ and some even call her ‘ugly’. This has affected the poor girl to a very great extent to the point that instead of playing and having fun she is constantly thinking about how she can turn her skin fair.
