The Bestseller She Wrote by Ravi Subramanian
2.0

I have read all of Ravi Subramaniam's books. From his first book "If, God was a Banker". After reading Chetan Bhagat's crappy novels his books were a little refreshing. But again I need to mention when comparing his first book to this it is totally Mediocre and not to forgot he has also become another Chetan Bhagat.
From his first book to this one he literally gone a notch down from his Writings and I think this is the story of every Indian Authors who writes in English. They lack many areas and they always wanted to portray a Villian in every other books.
When I read the Tagline "Soon to be Motion Picture" I should have realised but damn (I curse myself for reading it) as many other reviewers mentioned it is like a screenplay written for a Bollywood movie. Seriously? Mr.Subramanian I think you have also lost your skills in the hands of Indian Studios? So sad and pathetic.
So, the Protagonist Aditya Kapoor is a Paperback King (Lol! These days number of Sales volumes make them Paperback King! Even their books are at their worst *sigh*) and Shreya Kaushik is Cold hearted, ruthless, selfish wanna-be-author-girl and the reason for her being so is because of her parents. Seriously? (How many people have you met being such bitchy when they go through so many hardships in life?) Alright seems like a good Bollywood story. Here comes our Super villian (ROFL!) Sanjay who is the HR head of National bank. Other 2 poor souls of the Book are Maya and Diana who always suffer.
I understand that Author tries to imply that A man can cheat his wife with another girl but that another girl shouldn't cheat a man. I mean really? I never took you as a Male Chauvinist Mr. Subramaniam but you portrayed your lead character in that way. No you are not saving Indian Sanity instead you are making it worse. I never understand Why should not a Women cheat on a man who cheats on his wife? If, What Aditya did is right then Shreya did is also right.
Worst part of the book is When Aditya is allowed to apologise his wife when she was diagnosed with Ebola. Mr. Kapoor apologises to wife in that state where she is fighting for her life and after apologising Maya will gain strength and she will be back alive (It is a Medical Miracle :P) and Maya is not aware this whole apologising drama all over until the end? You miss the logic here Mr.Subramaniam.
I personally never expected so many flaws from you after you touched many good topics in your previous books. I would plead you either stop writing books or atleast give us some good thrillers. Don't fall prey to write Bollywood Screenplays in the name of Books and destroy the Sanity of Book readers.
