My Views: if it is 1st novel written by
the author it was quiet good, however the wild goose chase keeps you on your
toes,the story was good but many parts were predictable.The author used high level english,more troublesome was the technical words and procedures ,which were royal pain in the abdomen. However I think ,one
should read this novel, cause for a price Rs 68/- (MRP 100/-)it was a good
one.
