Thank you

Thank you for the review.
Geetha Krishnan
There were way too many spelling and grammar mistakes to make this enjoyable. That said, the plot seems to be good. A round of editing might actually make this worth a read. As it stands now, not my cup of tea
Geetha Krishnan
The language had good flow, but from the three chapters, it is not clear where the plot is going. But it is an excellent effort
Geetha Krishnan
This is just fabulous! I loved the writing, the language, the style, everything. The people came so alive, it was like watching a movie. Awesome!
Snigdha Rai
Thank you!
Geetha Krishnan
The plot is very good and able to hold the reader's interest. Some resemblence to Harry Potter at times could be felt. There were a few places when me is used instead of him. A round of editing is required. But over all, an enthralling plot and I would definitely want to read further
Krishna Teja
Thank you. Yes I thought I replaced the me but I missed at some places. Thank you
Geetha Krishnan
Did not make any sense at all. Language is very pedestrian. Failed to hold my interest.
Krishnayya Shenoy
Thank you for your review. I do not know whether the chapter containing following text was available in the edited manuscript.
Geetha Krishnan
The story seem to be going nowhere. Language and grammar needs attention. Better pacing of chapters needed.
Devraj Singh Kalsi
Dear Geetha, please rectify the grammatical errors in your review. You cannot write three simple correct sentences in the review.

The age is not mentioned, but I meant him to be a child. Having two children of my own, I think that children are capable of logical thinking at very early ages and of processing information. No, it is no palace. It is an ashram
Geetha Krishnan
The writing style is good and the chapters are paced well. Grammatical errors should be taken care of. But over all, I did not feel a compelling need to find out what happens next. It is a very light read and I could not relate it with the synopsis.
Geetha Krishnan
Three chapters are not enough, especially for the kind of book you are trying to write. Because it is a journey of self realizatiin, some build up should be there to the characters and their background info. So by the time the story starts, the three chapters are almost over. However, your style is good and I feel once the story gets going, it will be a captivating read. All the best. :)
Tushant Juneja
Thank you for the review Ma'am. I sometimes feel 3 chapters aren't really enough to showcase what the story is about, Anyway, I'll try and be better on the next one. :)
Geetha Krishnan
The plot looks interesting enough and the chapters are paced well. Language needs more polishing and the few grammatical errors need to be corrected. Would certainly like to read more
Y.S. Scott
Thank you for the critique and your review
Runjhun Noopur
Thank you Geetha! :)
Geetha Krishnan
A really good read. The narration was gripping and the pace is good. Definitely want to see where this one is going.
Geetha Krishnan
I'm sorry. I thought I knew English. Now I realize my mistake. This is not for ordinary mortals. The language is just too heavy and I really could not make heads or tails out of it.
Geetha Krishnan
Concept seem to be good, but language needs work. Narration was very dragging at places.
Geetha Krishnan
I understand that this is an average guy's story, but does that mean that the writing should be this bad? The author states average guys get more fun, but the reader is left to yawn. Obviously the author's idea of fun and that of the readers is quite at loggerheads. Chapters are too long, narrative is disjointed, it looks like the author has simply written whatever came into his head and did not even re read. The protagonist seems too indifferent to the reader to whom he's supposed to be talking
Geetha Krishnan
Even with the synopsis, it does not seem possible to understand the direction in which the plot is progressing. Lots of spelling and grammatical errors. With a bit of polishing and better pacing, might be worth a read
Raj Dhoreliya
Thanks for the review Geetha. Will work on the points you mentioned.
Geetha Krishnan
Nice plot, good flow and pacing. A few grammatical mistakes here and there, but nothing jarring. All in all, an intriguing and gripping read
Deepak Kaul
Thank you for your review.
Geetha Krishnan
Excellent book. Good smooth flow. Some grammatical errors are there but a good editor could take care of those. I am almost able to guess the warrior from Vibhas' dreams and would certainly like to read the full book
Geetha Krishnan
Your book is too expensive for an ordinary person!! :(
Geetha Krishnan
Very well written book. I like the premise, the style, the humour, the whole thing. A big thumbs up
Geetha Krishnan
Wonderfully written work. The concept is excellent and the writing crisp and smooth. It kept me hooked. That is the power of words!
Geetha Krishnan
The book is already published, so my opinion is not of much moment, but it was an enthralling read. Wishing the author all the best in his future endeavours
Geetha Krishnan
The humour is good, so is the pace. The language is simple and there was a flow to the narrative. All in all, a good read.
Geetha Krishnan
Excellent plot, gripping narration. Language needs polishing but thats what editors are for. Waiting to see this in print
Priya Sidharth Sethi
Thanks Geetha
Geetha Krishnan
Very well written book so far, intriguing plotline, nice flow of words. Definitely worth reading
Priya Sidharth Sethi
Thank you for the review Geetha!
Geetha Krishnan
The synopsis looks interesting, but the chapters are too long and too boring. After the first few pages, I found my interest flagging. Shorter chapters with better pacing might have been appreciated
Geetha Krishnan
Very dragging, no depth to the characters or emotions, the story not paced well. Nothing seems to be happening. Not my cup of tea at all
Geetha Krishnan
The plot is interesting enough and there are no obvious mistakes, but the flow of words was not there. A little more work on that would improve the book that has real potential
Nikhil Kulkarni
Many Thanks for your review Geetha :)
Geetha Krishnan
The plot is progressing well, the language has a flow to them, but the break between the second and third chapters seem rather forced. But this is a book that seems to have a lot of potential
Mishal
Thank you for your kind comments ma'am.
Geetha Krishnan
A very well written story. Language is good and the words flow smoothly. Definitely worth reading
Geetha Krishnan
Beautiful collection of short stories. Each one is different from the other and have a freshness about them. The language and style are both good
Sundari Venkatraman
Thanks will check it out for sure
Geetha Krishnan
Very well written, smooth flow of words, a compelling read which held my interest to the last. Would certainly like to read more
Rashmi Rathi
Thanks for sparing time to read and giving feedback!
Geetha Krishnan
The plot is good and has the potential to hold the reader spell bound, but the language is pedestrian. The way it is written now, it can't hold a reader's interest for long. A good editor and some polishing could turn this to a bestseller
Geetha Krishnan
I do agree that concept is the core, but most editors will tell you to improve your craft before seeking to publish. But again, that is a matter of opinion. :)
Varchaswi
Thanks a lot Geetha ji.......While I accept your judgement, I do not hold a Masters in English....However, concept is the core and my work is a high concept work. Hence, i did not polish it too much to spend an entire life time on it......You are kind with your words....
Geetha Krishnan
Too dragging by half. It was not making any sense to me. A self help book ought to get its point across effortlessly. We need help to understand this one
Krishnayya Shenoy
Thank you. Your opinion is valuable.
Geetha Krishnan
Extremely boring and failed to hold my interest from page one. Just not my cup of tea here
Geetha Krishnan
For those familiar with the epic, this is a wonderful read. The author has successfully incorporated epic characters into the modern day board room.
Geetha Krishnan
Hope this gets published soon. Can't wait to read in full.
Deepak Kaul
Thank you for your review.
Geetha Krishnan
Excellently written story. Karna talking like Master Yoda could have been avoided. Otherwise, it is an interesting and intriguing read.
Geetha Krishnan
Good plot till now, nice language, smooth flow. The maid serving tea could have been avoided, but apart from that, no jarring notes. I would certainly like to read more from this book and author
Sundari Venkatraman
Thank you for the feedback :)
Geetha Krishnan
Too slow and the language is also nothing to write home about. Having said that, the issues of language can be solved by a good editor. The plot looks interesting enough at this point and is certainly worth a look
Geetha Krishnan
The story premise is good and the growth of the plot is interesting enough, but at times the narration fails to convey the desired impact. It reads like a newspaper story than a story. But i would still recommend it because it has a good plot and development
Geetha Krishnan
Sorry, this does not make any sense to me.
