Tick-Tock Tick-Tock, it's 6th Feb and the deadline to review for Milan Vohra's 'Tick-Tock We're Thirty' is just a day away! I received the book from Women's web for a review and putting up the same on my blog.
Rushed me into finishng the book by today evening so that I could put up my review here.
The preview of the book on the cover is certainly interesting.
"The clock is ticking towards Lara’s thirtieth birthday and the whole gang is coming together to celebrate it. It’s a pact they made back then to meet when they all finally turned that age. So far, so cool. What isn’t cool is the other pact Lara had made one tipsy evening with Nishad. To marry each other if neither of them were hitched by then"
The basic story revolves around Lara Bagai- Nishad Nath and their friends. They all plan to meet up for a re-union for Lara’s upcoming 30th birthday with her's being the last of the group to turn 30!
As I started the book, I realised it took me a couple of chapters to understand the whole lot of characters into it! It wasn't a bad thing.. but for new readers it would have left them confused for a while with all the Reeti's and Riya's and the Sita's and the Sai's..!
The book picks up pace mid way and that's when I started enjoying it. The goof-ups, link-ups, the joys, the aspirations and more of all the characters at different times in the book is easy to understand then. The language is also easy and readable and would not be tough to follow.
Don't want to give the total summary of the book here... else what will you go and buy the book for! [:D] All in all, a decent read with some pretty good funny punches at intervals. Maybe if it wasn't just with so many characters to follow, I'd have finished it much earlier.
If one is a relaxed reader, they will sure like to pick this one up!
