The Brightest Fell

Actually I did not finish this in one seating, Thank you very much, Ms. Chowdhury for entrusting me with a copy of your book.

I like Ms. Chowdhury's way of writing, simple, no embelishments, straight to your head and imagination, the characters are intriguing, the female characters to be exact, strong, intelligent, principled, the dashing Ruqaiya, the fun-loving but willful Rito Shian(I apologize, Ms. Chowdhury, I really can not remember her full name), the vicious, egotistic Rinisa, now not to be outdone is our main male protagonist, Dr. Jehan Fasih, genius but a lone wolf, oh and let us not forget Abhijiat Shian, stoic, unfortunately gullible...........

Ok, simplicity sometimes just is.......I loved the pace of the narrative, but the story was just.....too run of the mill, a drug that makes the victim pliant to the injector's ideas, a high level conspiracy in the government to publicize the usage of the drug, and of course Men being men, brutes and easily manipulated, except for Dr. Fasih, a genius scientist who also moonlights as a tactical mindbender(I kept thinking and re-thinking on this one, he is a scientist but he can outthink and outbluff anyone), from start to finish, there were a few bumps but nothing derailing........you can already guess where it is going.........

Maybe I need to read some of her works, but as a primer, it was just too simple........
