REVIEW 10~~ 6 DEGREES - GAME OF BLOGS

6 DEGREES-GAME OF BLOGS

AUTHOR-MULTIPLE

MY RATING- 3.75/5

This books is very interesting i must say.

It is a collaborative effort of numerous bloggers who came together in a competition named as "GAME OF BLOGS". Each group had 8 to 10 members. After  the competition three groups emerged as the winners.

This book is the  concoction of three stories which emerged from these three groups. The most interesting part is that all the stories have different plots but  same set of characters. A family consisting of a father Sekhar,the mother Tara and their daughter Roohi. Other two characters are Cyrus,a law student and Jeniffer. The first story is a science fiction which has aliens and outer space and revelations and awesomeness. The second story is a murder mystery- a crime thriller. This story send chills down my spine. It had an eerie atmosphere to it. The third story is all about life and fighting with your worst nightmares. It is also about friendship and love.

The three stories in this book are:

1.Awakening

2.Entangled

3.Missing-A journey within

MY THOUGHTS:

I thought that all the stories were completely different from one another though all of them had the same characters. It was so refreshing to read such a innovative book.

The first story was really making me question about numerous things which we though was normal. Had the Bermuda Triangle been created by aliens a long time ago? The science fiction component was so beautifully spun around the normal day to day life of a family was really something i enjoyed as a reader.The story opens to a loving family who gets a request from  a friend to keep a law student in their house.Then one day their neighbour sees an alien entity in front of their house. The law student takes a special interest in Tara,the mother. What will happen to the family? And what is the fate of this crumbling Earth? The story unfurls and creates this magical and adventurous tale of aliens and outer space.

The second story was my personal favourite. The story starts with a loving family where the mother is very busy. The little girl Roohi falls down from a tree one day and Cyrus brings her back to her house. Tara at the same time meets Jennifer while in a cafe and hearing her daughter Roohi is injured comes rushing back. They all meet in the house. The light suddenly goes off and comes back in a second. But what happens after that is unimaginable. The maid servant Naina is found dead which a knife on her back and in a pool of blood. Who murdered her?  It was so eerie and creepy it felt like Halloween to me. By the very end of the story I felt it resembled the horror movies.The story had many twists and turns that kept me up on my toes. The poems in this story gave a lyrical touch to the story and the part that scared me the most were the poems from the murderer's perspective. Among all the drama and the suspense there bits and pieces of comical relieve. The police Mr.Java was really funny. That kept me from going haywire while reading all the blood curdling feeling that i was getting while reading this story.

The third story is of two missing persons whose life intertwine and separate. The little girl Roohi is missing and her parent are thrown in a fit. They frantically search for their little daughter. This story showed many emotions and feelings. It talked about sexual orientation and how it is not accepted so easily. It deals with mental illness and how two people deal with it in two different ways. It also talks about rape and how it affects a person so deeply and in a frightening way. I thoroughly enjoyed the story. I enjoyed the story of the individual characters but it felt a little weak when it intertwined between the two characters who were missing. The ending was beautiful and i was happy with the ending.

Overall i really enjoyed this book. I got more than what i had expected. I can surely recommend this book to everyone who want to read something fresh and innovative.

And i also love this cover very much.
