Book Review: Just a few lies by Sandeep Sharma

Blurb:
Understanding Writer’s mind is a complicated thing. He imagines, presumes and sometimes anticipates the reality and tries to blend with fiction. He is someone who stays in stories much more than in reality. His mind is full of a giant maze but what happens when maze starts to peep out of imagination and enter the reality?

Anant, a bestselling ‘Superstar’ author is feeling that words have started to betray him and that’s why he starts to search for the ‘next Anant’ and be involved in the making of the next superstar.

Mystically, one day he reads Sagarika’s blog and gets amazed to know that all her blog posts are inspired from real life incidents of Anant himself. On the other hand, Anant’s problem of having hallucinations about random things is coming back in his life. Earlier those hallucinations were totally strange but now even those hallucinations make sense.

What exactly is happening with Anant?
Who this Sagarika really is?
What lies are being spoken in the veil of finding next ‘Superstar Bestselling Author’?

The answer lies behind ‘Just A Few Lies’.

Surely raises the curiosity to read the book.


Book cover:
It could be better. The ink and pen suggest that the story is about an Author. But when you look at the title of the book it somehow contradicts.

Book title:
No complaints about it. The title is apt as per the storyline.

What I like:
1. Narration- the way author has told the story is good and I liked reading it.
2.Easy to understand language.
3.The turn of events in the story.
4. The ending-I have read reviews about the book on Amazon. Most readers were not happy with the ending. But for me, there couldn't be a better ending of the story.

What I don't like:
1.Till chapter 14 story progresses smoothly, but after that the events were pacy and the story seems rushed and brings confusion.
2. Some words in the book are combined to form a single word which is kind of irritating.


I surely recommend it to the readers who want to take a deep dive in the mind of an Author.

I will rate the first half of the book 4* and rest 3*. So my final rating will be 3.5*.
