My Review
The Justified Sin is a
story which revolves around a boy name , Jaydeep . Jay fall in love but feared
to accept his feelings and tag it as
‘ love ‘ . A story about an
ordinary boy who somehow walked towards the dead ends and started living a life
of regression , despondency , mistakes who he called and thought ‘ sin ‘ . When
Jay hopes for the best he faces the worst . It is a story which will make you
to wander into his world and which will compel you to do the calculations of
wanting to know more about him and his life .
The author , Harpreet
Makkar has done a great job from choosing up the most appropriate title to the
catchy book cover to the story line . But my take , I truly believed the story
justified it’s title . Hence , it kept me hook till the last . The urge of
knowing the sin made by the protagonist was the trademark of the book . Not
only the story but the characters were also good .
From the book , the three
characters left the impression on my mind and I loved them the most . Jay , the
Punjabi guy ; brought up in an affluent family still very down to earth. He
reflects all the emotions which one boy have and go through . Jay somewhere changed my perception regarding
boys but still somewhere I felt disappointed by his acts like being baffled
when he knows he could have made the situation a better one . The second one ,
Saloni ; she is not a girl whom you should fall once but daily . Mark my word ‘
daily ‘ . She was a strong character gripping the entire thread , as a best
friend , as a person you will always count on . Lastly , Jay’s father ; indeed
a true gentleman and a good father .
The overall story was good
but it got disdain in the initial pages but still it hooked me till the last .
It let me do a lot of mental wok from the beginning to the ending . You will be
flummoxed but the climax will be flabbergasted .
If you ask me personally
the most beautiful part of the story , I would tell you the relationship shared
between Jay and his father . It was a lyrical , these two were so synchronized
; that I felt the author has portrayed his bonding with his father into this
lovely tale . I feel connected to this very part .
The rhythm of the book was
simple as well as the language was simple and readable . As I flipped the pages
the book send me positive vibes , the love of family , love of friends and
feeling of being together with that very friend and yes it made me believe in
love again . Love will simple follow you , you just have to listen to your
heart .
In spite of all , I felt
there were few sections which could have been worked out in a more better way .
Author have kept it in his mind to make the book understandable but still he
could have tried more crispy language .
If you think you’re so
just unlucky to have your loved one in our life , I would recommend this book
to you ; the lost faith can be regained .
Girls , if you think all boys are same , then read this book ; trust me
some boys do feel and live in a life of guilt .
I rate this book a 3.5 out
of 5 . I am thankful to know about the importance of everything in our
life .
Thanks Faraah mam , for
recommending this wonderful book and
Harpreet Sir , I wish to read more from you .
