initially, till around 80 pages, I thought I would end up shelving the Book, but now it is pretty clear I will hang on, continue to finish it. This book is weirdly touching, the author is brilliant...

Page 94 is when the story moved, got moving, brought in a tinge of emotional binding with the story. It was like uptill now the story was moving at bullock-kart’s pace, and suddenly it jerked ahead and gave the feeling of travelling on a nice, soothing path. Emotions just came in, glued the reader (me) to the story now, right on this page😊👍

slow book, very slow. A bit humorous at times, but the story hasn’t turned gripping even after 70+ pages....

the story has turned gripping, so gripping and interesting. The author has turned up his brilliance by a notch now!

it turned very interesting now, very gripping now. The story got frighteningly real. A party of minors, drinks, weed and then the most feared thing happens.... sigh. The author has started turning the story so brilliant now. But why did the author need to make the reader suffer through first 150 pages!!

Almost 30% into the Book. The story is at least moving now. Some characters are now getting close to heart, Kira, for example. But again, it should not have taken 150 pages for the story to turn interesting, way too slow. But I am going on, as I have no other book with me, and anyway, the story has become bearable and a bit interesting now...

I am still dragging along because I have no other book with me to read. But as usual, this book is still taking a lot of effort. At least now, the story is becoming slightly clear, but it is way tooooo slow....

100 pages into the Book, but the reading has got only slightly more interesting. Still the same issues- the author keeps going around the several characters, trying to build their image in readers’ minds, and still trying to set the stage for the story. It still hasn’t turned better. Very disappointing read still, why did it need to be so slow, with so many characters! 🤷‍♂️

50 pages into the Book, and the author is still setting the stage for the story. There are just too many characters with focus, and the author has still been trying to go around all of them one by one, painting familiarity about them into readers’ minds. But frankly, even after 50 pages, I haven’t really connected well with even one character. Looks very disappointing Book. Will take one more shot and that’s it
