The cover depicting the ‘Ideal
Wife’ is truly an attention seeker! It has been really a long time since I have
read a book which is recommended by Shaadi.com and as it has such a
recommendation, it surely and easily becomes a grabber for the readers of all
age groups, especially teenagers!! Did I mention about the last line of the
blurb? It says- You can’t blame the author if you get married after reading the
book! Now what say? Ain’t it a good grab?
The back cover says- An Ideal Wife… Beware what you wish for!
What happens when the technology savvy Dwarf God, once the driver of the Biggest
God in Heaven, sets out to find an Ideal Wife for a man on earth? Seems like a
simple thing for a god to handle, right? But here is the catch- God has never
created a girl with all the qualities this man, Sameer, wants in his Ideal
Wife. And now, to make matters worse, Dwarf God has to do it without using his
divine powers. Will He be able to find the girl? Will she be an Ideal Wife for
Sameer?
It’s interesting to see a debut
author taking up such a topic to write upon! An interestingly chosen plot and
an even interestingly written narrative gives this book it’s much needed feel.
To think upon it, I loved the way the book has been presented. With the easy to
read font and good paper quality, I also liked the way the chapter names have
been given and written in a very cute font.
The story was a very new one. One
of the technology savvy Dwarf Gods descend to Earth (Mrytyulok as described in
the book) as a human to find an Ideal Wife for his biggest follower promising
him the best before thinking a sec about the circumstances one might face when
such happens.
The endeavor described in the book
was very wonderful to read and it would keep a smile pasted on the lips of
every reader while reading the book. The one-liners used in the book and the
way they have been written give a very positive vibe about the book.
How the God finds the Ideal Wife
for Sameer and what happens after that is something one must look forward to
while reading the book. It teaches us a very nice moral in the end. I also
liked the characterizations of the book while had a very realistic feel to
itself.
Apart from the fact that the story
was a very interesting one, there was something amiss. A very life-changing
impact in the story was missing making it a light read. Though there were
hardly any grammatical errors in the book, I felt that a bit articulated
version of the book would’ve given it’s readers a whole new and a better time
while reading it. Considering the fact that it is the work of a debut author,
the preface supporting the thing made one like the book as a onetime read. I
would like to rate it 3.75 out of 5 (only because I felt something amiss)
waiting for more from the author.
