It has been a long time since I have written here and most you might have even stopped visiting. But I am back again but this time not something that would enlighten you (as the title and purpose of this blog goes) but to warn you about something that would do just the contrary.
It’s about “Snapshots” written by “Shoba De”. I really don’t understand the hype of Shoba De. What is she famous for? Her book “Snapshots”, the first and last I have read, is shallow of all that ought to be there in a novel. It’s the kind of a novel a 10th class student could write. In spite of her efforts to seduce the readers she has failed adversely. And comparing to the other literature that exist in the league she is an underdog.
An epitome of cheap voyeurism, it is devoid of actual feelings or sexual desires and contains nothing but plain sex. I know the comparisons can never be made but after reading the works of literature from D.H. Lawrence or even Sydney Sheldon, it becomes almost impossible to read Shoba De.
You can’t find good English, good grammar and her writings are nothing more than zilch, cipher, void, naught. But it reckons that to criticize something you should actually know about the thing and that was the only reason I read about it, without doing which I might have not been able to write about it.
So guys read if you have nothing else to do in this world.
Cheers!!!
