After a really long time, I opened this book to read. That too, I read it, because the editor of this book, spoke really highly and said it is a rare creation and worthy of not just being read but also receiving some form of recognition.
Once I started reading the book, I simply couldn't put the book down. I'd read the book before sleeping, and I know how I forced myself to stay awake to simply see what the next page, next chapter, next occurrence in the would be.
The book held my breath till the last page. It had empathy, hardships, crime, theft, love, infatuation, family, rivalry and so much more. I hadn't expected the book to be written with such a fluency that I had trouble in understanding what was going on.
The language was simple, the use of words was just apt and the writer captured the emotions of the moment gracefully. Best of all, was the ending - now I don't want to give a spoiler here - but I'll at least say I'd wish I came across reading more books that had the poise with which the book ended.
