Review: Colorful Notions: The RoadTrippers 1.0

Colorful Notions: The RoadTrippers 1.0 by Mohit Goyal
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

[Note: I won this book in GoodReads Giveaway and this is my honest review of the book]

When I started reading this book I thought that this book would be some kind of travelogue but I found that though there is extensive travelling by the characters but story revolves around their life rather than on the travelling.

I couldn't get the gist of the places visited by the characters in the book. the places are not discussed much in details. and most of the time story revolves around the life of the characters.

I found this book pacy and easy to read but it fails to capture the essence of the places visited in the book. I liked the characters of Abhay , Shashank and Unnati. I also liked the bond that they share in between. (view spoiler)[ I also liked it when Shashank forgives Abhay for creating misunderstanding between him and Unnati. I was expecting Abhay to find someone special during the trip but that didn't happen but that should be OK. (hide spoiler)]

I rate this book 3/5.

Review: Broken Jars, A Fistful Of Dreams

Broken Jars, A Fistful Of Dreams by Amal Charles
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

[Note: I won this book in GoodReads giveaway and this is my honest review of the book]

The book contains seven stories of seven different people who either have suffered some kind of mental/physical abuse and they are so confused in life that they don't even know why they acting / reacting in a certain way.

When I got this book I was a little apprehensive about the time it would take me to finish it. but once I started I finished it in one day. all the stories are great. The discussion between the patience and Psychiatrist were easy to understand though in the story related to Razia it went over my head and couldn't grasp much. But anyway as I was in no mood to understand the nitty- gritty of Psychology and was more interested in the stories I didn't lose much.

The story of Shubham broke my heart , its a story of an untouchable boy and his family's hardship in the hinterland of the Indian state of Bihar.

The story about Sulochana suggests in the beginning that something happened to her in her childhood but nothing comes out later which ok but I just kept guessing it.

Overall this is a good book and also pacy baring some part of it. I rate this book 4/5.
