Will Siddharth be able to find the answers to his questions? Will Siddharth be able to get back what he has lost. To know read 'I am Life'

My Thoughts:

                Plot is well written and we get to see the reality through Siddharth's story. In this long run of success we normally tend to forget our family but what if all that you have built your business, success is suddenly taken away from you leaving you with nothing. This has been nicely depicted by the author through this story. The search for the questions and to really know the meaning of life this story will surely bring the readers close to Siddharth.

                The characters are nicely woven and relatable. Through Siddharth the readers will actually get to know the true meaning of enlightenment and bringing forth the true meaning of life. Through Siddharth the author has actually made the readers think about what the true meaning of life.

                Language is simple and lucid. The narration is done nicely and the pace of the story is also good. The book cover is beautiful and the title of the book is apt to the plot.

                Overall, I must say that this is a thought provoking story which will surely give the readers a different perspective to life.

Rating: 4/5

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?
