Writing
Style: 2.5/5
There is a
famous dialogue from 80’s movies which means human needs only three things to
live. They are food, clothes and house. Well, in modern times two more has got
place in them. Smartphone and Love. In popular English fiction 90% of the
literary works are based on love and trust me as a reviewer I find it quite
disappointing. Yet as the job demands…
‘Heart of
Bullets’ is written by Nikhil Kushwaha. A love story of two soldier friends and
a girl. Arpan, Sam and Shradha. A love triangle based on span of war. Like every love story, this one also have same
ingredients like love, jealousy, betrayal, society, sacrifice and all. Story
nowhere in novel comes as a fresh breeze. Writing style is also good but in
some scenes it feels stretched unnecessarily. Detailed description can ruin the
spark of literary work. The poems between lines were really fantastic as they
provided soul to the novel. Scenes from school life are quite refreshing and
joyful. If am not being grammatical Hitler, also noticed few errors. This novel
won’t be out of blue as it has a repeated storyline with filmy ending. The
ending reminded me of old time movies and can quote few, too. Haven’t gone
through his two previous works but this one hasn’t impressed in anyway. Language
is not naïve yet missing the unique touch.
Giving my
best regards for the writer’s literary carrier.
My overall
rating for this work is 2.5/5.
