Faceless; the only way out… the book has a unique yet an interesting plot. Story is very intriguing and what makes it so intriguing is the writer’s way of unfolding it. He tells the whole story through different narratives. Being a protagonist Shom is portrayed as a real Hero! He is flawless thus gains most of the reader’s admiration and sympathy. While the Heroine of the story, seems not to be so lucky. Their relationship seems to give a new definition to the word ‘soul mate’, which is quite interesting! The book describes both passion and pleasure explicitly.
Though I won’t remark this book as one of my favorites, it is a readable book. I picked the book and dropped it only after finishing it (it’s a compliment to the writer). But the ending part is not satisfactory and writer could have framed it even better. Or I would say he became too hasty while constructing the ending part of the book. Author tried to put many elements in it altogether and has done a good experiment with the plot. Here I appreciate the writer for taking pain to throw light on the sensitive issues of the society…he even talks about transgenders, their plight and rights.
But on the whole of it I would like to say, if you look forward for the real piece of literature or literature in true sense, then this one is not for you. But if you enjoy reading different and new plots, then go for it!
