सल्लीपिर by Nayan Raj PandeyMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Not a 3 star but certainly not a 2 star either. 2.5 out of 5 for me. Going through once is enough. Story of mountain region but it lacks flavour and fails to impress if the reader is well known to the mountain conditions and life there. Seems, writer has not done his homework to catch the essence of the lifestyle there. Everything is described in surface (bar exceptions) and the story lacks depth. I am an emotional reader and cry to everything that is vaguely heart-touching. But this story could not trigger the emotional part of mine. I did not even shade a tear. There are mistakes in the book which are rectified on the second edition though. But the errors halt your reading if you are going through the first edition. Language is sweet as expected from the writer. The story is nicely written but lacks something to the core. Recommended for the one time read because the style of writing and sweetness of language can win your heart.
