The details and descriptions of the book are so specific that it feels like written by someone who personally experienced the scenarios that were mentioned in the book. The book doesn't only focus on one direction alone, it has several full-fleshed stories inside the grand scheme of things. even though I am pretty pleased with the experience, I didn't appreciate the highly idealised and saintly version of captured Naxalite youths especially since the book is majorly written in the third-person perspective as opposed to a single first person/second person perspective and I also had issues with the development of solidarity between Bhagoban and the Naxalite youths on the next cell , it felt rushed and half baked.
Calculating all of these I rate it 3.75/5 stars

P.S.: The fact alone that this book is written by someone who didn't know how to read/write until they were in their early twenties is very astonishing.
