Review-
"UNNS The Captivation" builds a nice aura around it due to
an interesting name and a serene cover. The book is a nice blend of love,
hatred, passion and sacrifice.
Stating it simply, I would say that UNNS oscillate somewhere
between my likes and dislikes.
The cover of the book is really good but there were a lot of
elements which could have been used to make the cover more expressive and
elaborative. The name of the book really is a mystery and thank goodness it
wasn’t dragged beyond limits. Somewhere in the middle it is revealed what the
title really means.
But I have this issue with the naming of the chapters. They
were not informative and in the start when some words didn’t make any sense to
me, it was hard to decode the meaning and thus making a connection with the
chapters was not that easy as we proceed with a new one. But it didn’t impact
the tale that much because every chapter was very plainly laid, with no
complications anywhere.
The characters in the book are not that impressive, not even
the leads. This all happened because of a great resemblance of the story and
the leads to movies and there characters. Whenever you read a segment you find
similarities and the trend doesn’t go till the end of the book.
It was like revising a lot of movie stories in a go.
Another problem in the book was that everything was very
easily guessable, except the ending. I was bored to death when I had to read
things which felt heard.
The starting of the book increased curiosity and I was
looking forward to read more. There was an average tale going on. I personally
don’t like school days or college day’s stories though. The leap was a major
problem for me. It was like reading something which wasn’t fresh enough. I am
making this review as much spoiler free as I can but I had to mark this down.
The characters introduced were heard of, situations were
heard of and even the incidents couldn’t ignite the requisite flame.
If I talk about the writing then the author did not
disappoint much. The narration was easy and smooth, the language was not below
the average line and the dialogues were relatable. There were no major editing
issues in the book as well. The spacing, the fonts all pleased the eyes and
that is why it became a very quick read.
The middle portion of the book was the most disappointing
one. The starting was average as I already mentioned and the last section was
good. There was something to look for in the ending and that is why the book
became a little gripping. I enjoyed the chain of events, the change in characters
and the revelation. It was a nice showdown.
Eye-Catchers-
- “Sometimes, it’s worth living the dreams, tasks, hopes or ambitions of the people you love, however unjustifiable or stupid they may sound.”
Recommendation-
The book came out to be a one-time read for me. So if you
are looking for an easy romantic Bollywood sort of drama you can pick this
book. It is not very short in length so patience is demanded.
