When I was
approached to read and review this novel by a book review blogger, first off I
did some research about the book and through one author interview, I was able
to decode the meaning of the title – Six, Five. The meaning behind the title
is beautiful and purely born out of love.
The novel is
quite lengthy, but the flow was good, thus I was able to finish reading it in
some days along with some other books that were on my TBR list since long. I
will not say that it is a one-sided story, rather mix of a few genres in it. It
takes us to some far-away land, possibly USA, and into one huge college because
the author has repetitively mentioned cafeteria, ground, stadium, fountain,
etc. Even this is a college story; the author has given more focus to two main
characters – the girl Violet, and the boy Victor. The former is sarcastic while
the latter is smart and brilliant.
Victor is an
orphan and rather silent. He doesn’t like getting into mess and create trouble
for himself and others, while Violet is just the opposite. The core point of
the novel that binds the story till end is Unveil – online campus newspaper.
And Victor works for this publication. His job is to investigate cases that
occur in the college campus, at times outside as well. So, there are around ten
crime case studies, ranging from issues of drug abuse to emotional torture to discrimination
with students, and much more. You may not be so cross with the cases and the
aspects involved into them. Rather you may find them interesting.Suspense,
drama, mystery and thrill all is there in the novel, like one pack with many
things into it.
However, the
blurb of the novel says a lot about it. So, you may crave to find out the
answers of the following questions:
Are the stories on the lines of Sherlock Holmes?
Will you be able to decode the meaning of Six,
Five?
Is it a pure love story or crime thriller?
What happens
to Victor in the end?
Raging for
answers, simply grab this book and get all your answers.
You can buy
the book on Amazon
(both Paperback and eBook).
