Opinion:
A banker by profession, Ravi
Subramaniam is usually known for writing popular thrillers about banking and
bankers. So, divulging into the romance section of modern fiction is a concept
alien to the author. However, most of the part of this is a romance novel with
some elements of a thriller dropped in right at the end.
The references to real-life
authors like Ashwin Sanghi, James patterson, Wendy Doniger and Ravi Subramanian
himself along with celebrity personalities like Nita Ambani and Nirav Sanghavi
of blogadda incidents gives a reality touch while reading.
The negative side is at many
points the story becomes highly predictable. This may be due to the reason that
when you read an author many a times, you start thinking on the same lines.
However, the author has maintained the thrill and the pace at which the story
moves ahead.
Another thing which the author
could have avoided is a long drawn drama with Ebola. The serious nature of the
disease does give any valueaddition to the story.
Finally..
Salute to the author who has given
another blockbuster with this book and the same is also going to be made a
Motion Picture soon. All the best to Mr. Subramanian.
