Review
Confused
Bastards is a fresh, witty story written by the author Manav Vigg. The story
certainly has a purpose to serve not only to the youth of this country but
everyone who relates to Jai, Aakash & Vivek. Their characters are inspired
from daily life. Initially, the story starts on a light note eventually ending
on a bit deeper note. The author forces our heroes to give some serious thought
to their lives through this story helping them to find their life’s real
purpose in a meaningful manner.
Confused Bastards
is a soul-stirring experience where one can learn about life’s lessons,
overcome with failures & giving strength to revive failed relationships.
The story
nicely sums up various aspects of life in an engaging way when last few
chapters of the story suddenly takes a slow flow as if testing reader’s own
patience.
At the
opening of the story author manages to make us laugh. On the other hand, sudden
philosophical move in the last few chapters is a pleasant surprise for readers.
Few pages of
the story seem to lose a direction but the author seemed to cover up well in
215 pages of this novel. Also, humor with a sexual overtone can be a turn-off,
especially among those who do not enjoy much.
The Writing Style
The writing
style is very simple to understand without any complication to our multi-wired brain.
The Book Cover & The Title
The book
cover & the title are very apt to the storyline. Once you start reading the
novel, you’ll understand why the book cover has a riddle design.
My Rating: 4/5
I would
definitely recommend this book to all those readers who enjoy not so lengthy
stories. One can easily finish this book on one of the lazy Sundays. Overall,
Manav Vigg’s attempt is highly commendable
