I really enjoyed the paragraph above about a hike in the woods. I have felt like that with a few books I have read lately and think you have described it perfectly. Beautiful review!Debjani Ghosh wrote: ↑28 Oct 2018, 04:14You have expressed the cons of this book nicely. I liked reading your review and it seems that I will enjoy reading this book. However, if the author takes enough trouble to weed out the errors and brings out another polished edition of this book, it will be really helpful.It felt a little like taking a hike through the woods. There are a few level clearings where you can look around and comfortably take in everything there is to see. But there are also a lot of rocks and tree roots along the trail. And the time you spend looking down to navigate through these obstacles can distract you from the surrounding view. This book needs a few rounds of professional editing to remove distracting obstacles.

I love the similes and metaphors to justify the below-perfect rating. At times, we could also realise that the obstacles have their beauty and purpose in themselves, too, but this only often happens after the wounds and pains have ceased to be what they were. Thank you for your vivid review.It felt a little like taking a hike through the woods. There are a few level clearings where you can look around and comfortably take in everything there is to see. But there are also a lot of rocks and tree roots along the trail. And the time you spend looking down to navigate through these obstacles can distract you from the surrounding view.
