BOOK REVIEW The Orange Hangover by Rahul Saini
The orange hang over by by Rahul Saini...
“The Orange Hangover” is written in simple words but it has too much of Bollywood in it. It tries to leave a message of social responsibility but lacks the strength. It’s the comical nature which helps you sit through the book.
Rishabh, an architect and the protagnist is your 25 year old guy next door, facing the problems which every other 25 year old faces. Struggling at job, break-up with girlfriend, questions from neighbors about marriage, Rishabh has all of this knocking his head at once. He quits his job and returns to his hometown to regain his deteriorating health. Daunted by the questioning eyes of neighbours he joins a small time architect only to meet a client who without any qualms employs a kid as domestic help. Rishabh, driven by the words from his friends and past incidents involving child labor, questions the client and brings the kid home. This strong act of Rishabh doesn’t stop here, he goes ahead and starts teaching the kid along with other unprivileged kid from neighborhood. His action gains popularity and gets print publicity and the story turns out well.
I would have liked the book more if the story was just this much, but there are some irrelevant bits involving client’s kidnapping, ransom, murder, accusation. These parts convince you that there was a desperate attempt to add masala in the story. I couldn’t find the connection of these bits with rest of the story at all.
There are girls in book as well and let me say that both main female characters are strong. There is Mansi, Rishabh’s girlfriend who helps him in rescuing the kids and setting up classes for kids. Her character is mature, sensitive and understanding. And then there is Natasha, Rishabh’s friend. If there is only one reason to read the book, it has to be Natasha. Her character is ideal, matured, sensible, sensitive, understanding, unbiased, selfless, wise and much more. There are online conversations where Natasha convinces Rishabh to do the right things; they leave you in her awe.
Just tried to finish it as quick as possible.for me authors first book was for more better and readable than this. read it at your own risk.. for me it's 7 out of 10..

Dont always start the review with 'i hav just finished the book....'.u r giving review means it is understood that u hav finished it.
ReplyDeleteMost of the contemporary novel written by the youths are ful of masala like this now a days.to mak a novel sometime it is needed to elongate it according to the situation because u hav 2 atleast write a story of 100-150 page.bt it depends upon the creativity of the writer that how it relates it to the story and make it intresting.bt some time very much exageration m of situation spoils the story.
thanks for your feed back bishal i will try to improve it... so keep commenting here
