Review: Paperback Dreams

Paperback Dreams by Rahul Saini
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Blurb -

Jeet Roy, a college Casanova, has published a book by unfair means. All he wants is to earn loads of money and have hot girls chase after him wherever he goes.

 Rohit Sehdev, a one book old popular fiction writer is furious when he finds out that his publisher has cheated him out of his royalties.

 Karun Mukherjee is a highly ambitious schoolboy who wants to win the heart his lady love by writing a novel about it and he doesnt mind playing dirty to get to the top. Ruthlessly exploiting these ambitious young men is their unscrupulous publisher. Sometimes funny, sometimes shocking, Paperback Dreams is the story of a new breed of young writers who will do anything to get famous, fast.


My views -

Paperback Dreams by Rahul Saini, is a fictional story stating the story of three new generation writers. As from the title and blurb I was more intrigue to read the novel and the novel satisfied completely by stating the reality of literature world.

The story moves parallel between three writers, Jeet Oberoi is a national best selling author who doesn't consider about ethics and done some unethical activity to get publish his first story.

Rohit Sehdev, is a writer of one national best selling book and waiting to get publish his second. I liked his character more also the story of rohit boost me motivationally.

Karun Mukherjee, an ambitious school kid who is waiting to publish his debut novel. And also a nerd who thinks with money and fame can win the world, any girl.

The connections between three writers is they published their book under same publisher. And narration of things happening in off the publishing world is shadowed so well. From the PR Marketing to cruel things does by jealous peoples are crafted well.

As from the view of story, narration and characterization nothing is wrong author written in the way of giving interesting read to readers. Also the love story of Rohit gives more essence to story.

Overall, Paperback dreams by Rahul Saini is perfect, time worthy read.
