Image
About Author: Varun Gautam, engineer by profession and writer by passion. ‘The Symbol’ is his debut work. His aim is to bring change in the mind set of people through his works. Writing Style: 3/5. The trend was started by CB and continued with many engineers. Writing about their experiences in IITs and IIMs or else any common engineering college. Market is flooding with these kind of works and it’s rare to find something unusual to read. By God's grace there are some writers who are differentand this work and writer is one of them. Few days back, I got work ‘The Symbol’ by Varun Gautam for review. Cover page of the novel gave me ‘Dan Brown feeling’ with symbols, numeric dancing here and there, with hooded person and fire element. I must say cover page of the novel is quite attractive. However, Blurb of the novel says a story, totally different from cover page. It reads story of a boy whose passion of clearing exam for admission in IMS is scattered and ...

About Author:   Ankit Gusain, engineer by profession and writer by passion. The Dark Romance is debut novel of Ankit Gusain.  Writing Style: 3.5/5.

About Author:   Amit Shankar, An avid music buff and a great exponent of guitar, a coffee lover, a great reader, great author and many more adjectives to join in. He has presented society with four gems Flight of the Hilsa, Chapter Eleven, Love is a Vodka-a shot ain’t Enough, and Café Latte. Writing Style: 5/5. It has happened first time that I am lacking vocabulary to describe any work. Each and every line I write seems so naïve to represent the essence of the novel, Flight of the Hilsa by Amit Shankar. I read Amit’s Café Latte first, I was so awestruck with his writing style that it tempted me to read other works by him. He gifted me another three titles of him for review. The cover page of the novel is so lively and captivating. Most amazing fact about this work is that Amit has presented a girl’s emotions so perfectly that I was having doubt at once that Amit may be a pen name, the writer must be woman. (As per tradition of Victorian Era) Avantika Se...
