Keep off the grass - Karan Bajaj

Keep off the grass is not as good as Johnny Gone down.
The book comes across as confused...the first 50 and the last 50 pages are the essence of the book.
The remaining 100 pages are a drag.

However, since his second book was better than the first, I will surely buy the next one.

Johnny gone down - Karan Bajaj

There may be couple of reasons as to why I may have liked "Johnny gone down" by Karan Bajaj.

1. My last read book was "Oh shit, not again!!" which was shitty..and there existed a possibility of me overrating an average book.
2. The person who lent me this book didn't have anything good to say about the book..so my expectations from the book were almost zilch...
3. I have not read "Keep of the grass" which is Karan Bajaj's debut novel...which meant, I was clueless about his writing style. This meant that I hadnt still formed any positive/negative opinion about him.


But, to my pleasant surprise, the actual reason why I liked the book is because... its good and it tends to break free from the conventional Indian author books... The story is good, the narrative and pace, excellent, and the book has a subtle underlying message.

Highly recommended!!
