When I picked up his first book (rather the book of his that I read first) I was not sure of reading it. I picked it up on recommendation of the bookstall-wala. ‘madam yeh aajkal bohot bik rahi hai!’ yes the book had a bestseller’s tag too.
I read the book, it took me about two hours to finish that
one, first because it was nowhere near to my taste, secondly I did not like the
language (the too frank expressions not the vocabulary) but there was something
that I liked about his work. I got a better insight into what really matters.
And finally I ended up reading all his published work.
Durjoy Dutta- this management guy from Delhi has potential I must say.
Till the last breath
- I thought this too would be just another from him that will have a lot of exposed
feelings, rounds of love making (making out, as he terms it)but I am glad I
took this one.
Mature, sensible, and a very well written, most of it is
very unlike Durjoy. The medical terminology and the expressions well made seem
to have come from a medical student, kudos… something unexpected from a
management pro.
Coming to the story-
very well written, heart touching and clearly etched characters, the
resemblance to characters can be found amongst the people in the neighbourhood,
one can read this even more than once. Youth well defined, after reading this
piece of work from him, his fans would certainly understand that relationships
have something more than just making out, the use of the f***word quite
appropriate, the life of the doctor and the dilemma very nicely word-sketched.
The fairytale love adds to the charisma of the heartfelt,
mesmerizing tale. The optimistic approach, the well paced events and the
character of Pihu would last long on the readers mind.
A perfect example of the phrase- life is a gift. A dedicated
rich Doctor, the reason behind his dedication, an intern with contras shades in
her personality and her past, the
medical student and her passion to be what she wants, and the fragility of the
drug affected youngster, the ups and downs in the lives of connected people…
everything perfectly blended.
Though there are a few typo errors, the story is
inexplicable.
I would rate this 4.5/5. Go…grab your copy if you haven’t
yet.
