Story
Gist:
Four diverse characters + Four
different journeys + Four perspectives = One humorous, paradoxical, and
adventurous tale. A dysfunctional writer, a hyperbole consultant, a Bollywood
smitten driver and an over the top mysterious foreign man meets at crossroads
for an epic expedition. The book blurb says it all. Go ahead and give this book
a read.
Book
evaluation:
The essence of comedy is
essentially in the timing which Shantanu Munshi has managed to
capture beautifully. The story conceptualization is unique and is rightly
accompanied by the style of writing, which is fresh and a much-needed break
from the usual fictional tales. The cover does not do justice to the tale
presented. The book tells us how every situation we face in our life can
be different, great, or worse from someone else’s viewpoint. A thumbs up
for this book and pat on the back for the author for pulling this off.
