The Lost Man

Such a beautiful book. It felt very much like an enthralling experience. The suspense was gorgeous, and the characters were all perfectly flawed.

The author took a well-loved figure and crafted the story in a manner in which all the characters began questioning and revealing different facets to him.

The protagonist, himself, was an intensely disliked man with a stain on his reputation, yet the author weaves a tale not of his redemption, but one that shows us what it is to be human, flaws and all.

Every character in this book has something more to him/her, and it beautifully visualises how complex the whole lot of us are.

The ending left much to be desired, but the rest of the book more than makes up for it. It wasn't that the ending was unbelievable, it was more so that it was very much anticlimactic and it just called for something more.
