My Thoughts:

The writing style of the author is beautiful. The author’s narration style is very good it will keep the readers engaged throughout the book. The narration was such that I could actually imagine the beautiful  description of the places right in front of my eyes.

The language is simple and lucid the readers won’t find it too difficult to go through the book. 

The plot of the story was somewhat similar to a Bollywood story but the ending was a bit different. 

The author has successfully laid down what actually goes in the villages and even in cities even after so much modernisation. It is so true that people should look at other people with open mind and not judge others only because they have a different caste or are from a poor family.

The cover page is beautiful the colours are vibrant and will surely attract reader’s attention. The cover page also depicts a very beautiful scene from the book which is the best part.

The characters are well developed and they are somewhat relatable too. We as human are not perfect at all and this quality can be seen almost in all the characters be it Ranjan himself or his parents. We all have been some of these situations.

Overall, I liked the book and would recommend it to someone who is looking for a short read.

My Rating: 4.5/5

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. Her brother Karthi, is always there by her side trying to save her; and protect her from these kinds of people. However, one guilt is still constantly peeking its head out from time to time for Karthi. Karthi was once le...
