Review of Kumbhpur Rising
About Author: Mayur Didolkar has been writing fiction since
the age 14. This is his first published work. He works as an Investment Advisor
in Pune.
Writing Style: 3.5/5.
“Kumbhpur Rising” by Mayur Didolkar is work of fiction and
this is the work which can left you in such a horror that you won’t be able to
switch off the lights at night. It happened with me. I was not able to gather
courage to get glass of water from kitchen. Okay, okay, I admit that I am
already a coward girl but trust me dear reader, ‘Kumbhpur Rising’ has the gut
to raise fear any brave heart reader. At first in beginning I found it bit
befuddling with too many characters and thought the novel to be tedious. But as
soon as the story shifted in Kumbhpur, I was all set to join characters in this
horrifying journey of revenge and bloodshed, fight with undead people. From the
cover page of novel I thought of any historical fiction due to its title
‘Kumbhpur Rising” but my whole assumption went upside down when I dived in the
novel. Mayur’s narration style is really awesome. I, could see myself wandering
in the jungle and on the beach with other characters. Was literally shuddered
with bloodshed and could feel the same pressure building up within me as I
continued the novel. The novel is divided into three books Happy Days, Kumbhpur
Rising, Heart Attack County. The division of novel in three parts is really a
helping one for reader as one does not get confused with place shifting in
single scene. It also gives a proper glance in past life of all the characters
as well as background of the story.
The novel is really
wonderful but one or two points remained unexplained. However it’s the
characteristic of this genre, to leave reader with some unexplainable sockets.
My overall rating for this work is 3.5/5.
