Hooter: A thriller with a twist - an interweb of where reality starts and fiction ends.
A single tragic incident plays a focal point of introducing every character and how they are related to atleast one other character in that tragic incident. With that as the singularity, we slowly peel back to the stories of each character and their sordid backgrounds. There is darkness in everyone's lives, just different degrees of black as they deal with moving on or not. The book is a Virar fast as you zoom through each chapter (POV) in literally a couple of pages before you switch over making it an overall breezy read but can get complicated as you jump all over trying to recollect why does X know Y and did Z know X till it all conveniently fits in towards the end.
I didn't need a back panel bio to figure the author has an engineering mindset (also a degree) for the logical precision with which he builds this interconnected web of stories and jumps around like a russian roulette game to each character's POV.
The mechanics of this storyline are efficient but that is also the concern for it. I remain a viewer on this fast paced drama with swinging POVs rather than rooting for any of the characters - except maybe Niyati for she barely gets a chance to speak except through her diary. Everyone else is black and white but I know the author could have explored the greys in them further to help the audience emotionally relate with one of the many characters dotted in this. Whilst I as a reader wanted a slowly cooked noodles potboiler, I guess there are others who love instant gratification in the form of Nestle's Maggi and they'd be satisfied with this one.

In Their Shoes by Sandip Khade is a unique self-conversational book that captures the essence of writing and storytelling. The author effortlessly blends the conversations between Arnav, Mithila, and Radhika with the story itself, making it an interesting read for anyone interested in the art of writing.
The author does a brilliant job of portraying the characters and making them relatable to the readers. We can feel the emotions and thoughts of the characters through the author's writing, which is quite impressive.
One of the most intriguing aspects of the book is the fact that the main character, Arnav, never read a book before becoming a writer. This is quite an unconventional approach to writing, and it is fascinating to see how he manages to find his voice as a writer without any prior reading experience.
The writing style of the book is simple yet effective, making it an easy and enjoyable read. The author's attention to detail is commendable, and the descriptions of the characters, settings, and events are vivid and engaging.
