Format: Paperback/Kindle Edition
Genre: Fiction/Dystopia/Young Adult
Pages: 261

Anicetus is an interesting character indeed. Apart from being a young daring fellow, he has multidimensional shades in his life just like the author himself. Is he a shadow of Srijoy? Now that can be a little nosy question, rather not get into it.

Coming to the overall novel, it's indeed a wonderful effort for a young lad of just 23 years. I read one of his interviews where he said that he lives in a Mini Cooper and am I to believe that? The kind of hardships he has voluntarily chosen to give shape to his debut novel calls for a toast. Definitely, there are some improvement opportunities in the plot as well as in the overall book, but what came out from a debutante US born Bong guy is commendable. I wish him all the best for his future endeavours.

My overall rating of the book is 4*/5* and it is strictly recommended for readers who enjoy full length novel over quick novellas. 261 pages cannot be read in a jiffy, it deserves committed time to enjoy the storytelling.

1.      This is your first published book...what made you compose this one? Ans 1:   I had been writing short stories over the past 10 to 15 years and many of these were published in in-house magazines. Some were also selected   for recognition too. Having travelled the length and breadth of the country, it dawned on me to distil some of my experiences in fact and fiction and create a bouquet of short-stories into a book. I have been a fan of the renowned writer, Sudha Murty and read most of her books and that was certainly an inspiration. 2.      What are your two most favourite short stories from your debut book? Ans 2.   “ The Gift of Love” and “Lost Memories”. Love transcends myriad odds in life and “Gift of Love” is based on a true event of Dharavi, although fictionalised. In “ Lost Memories”, we would like our readers to be sensitive to the growing cases of dementia in society. I have tried to depict the sub...

#LITEROMA Book Review :: ‘Death Served Cold’ by Sourabh Mukherjee

 ** Thanks to our reviewer for reviewing the book on behalf of Literoma. ** ‘Death Served Cold’ by corporate turned author Sourabh Mukherjee brings an insight to the world of dark feminism. It's a continuum of short narratives based on real incidents; and is thus listed under 'Non fiction' category. Women assassins, over the decades, who have committed world's brutalest murders, have found a corner in Sourabh's latest title. With the advent of technology, research has become quite easy these days and the reason of bringing this point in our review is the extensive details provided by author, supporting each narrative and involved characters. Readers would be left chilled to read the brutalities or coldness with which those murders were committed.  Narration style is also quite absorbing. However, the cover page could have been lot better. It does not appeal to us!  We would like to wish Mr. Mukherjee, the author, all the very best for his future writing stints. Read...

 ** Thanks to our reviewer for reviewing the book on behalf of Literoma. ** Seldom you find a book which touches a story and philosophy simultaneously with equal ease. ‘The Little Secrets to Big Joy’ by Alakananda Pramanik is one such rare example. Leading by examples, the author has showered her vivid experiences of life in the form of moral stories, inspirational quotations and poetic expressions in the said title.  Since the book is written in very simple language on contemporary topics, readers will tend to strike an immediate chord with the author. Every story comes with a great lesson, coupled with motivational words in between. At every page, the readers will be embarked on a modern retelling of human psychology.
