Utkarsh Kulkarni | 8 comments Ohh I so loved this book until I reached the 120-130 odd mark; sadly I had to abandon the book because of my college exams. I shall make sure I get back to it in a couple of days' time!! Happy reading!!


Franziska  | 1 comments To be honest i didn't much like the book until i got to like page 50. I thought it was tedious to begin with. But once i got into it, I have to say i really really like this book!!! A great read.


Akhil teja (akhilsayaawesomeeeeee) LOL
