Ramakrishnan https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1616327788l/57477301.SX50.jpg 89997239]Reading Ramakrishnan's book for the first time was a unique experience compared to my previous reads. It provided valuable insights into the railway industry, and the storyline had a good flow. I found it particularly captivating for the first two-thirds of the book, and it became a real page-turner towards the end.
Your book preferences aren't solely determined by an author's writing skill. Various elements like theme, plot, characters, and even the cover play a crucial role in shaping your review. Reviews tend to be deeply personal; what resonates with one person might not resonate with everyone. So my personal rating for the book is 3/5.
That being said, this book left me with mixed emotions. I enjoyed the first story, “Kitchen,” yet elsewhere, I came across another person's review which I liked to quote here - “she's not for everyone; she's a minimalist storyteller, at least in my opinion, able to turn the emotional state of the right reader with the flick of just one beautiful perfect phrase, but only if you're ready to catch that beautiful perfect phrase and appreciate it for what it is.”
