Book Review: Guardian Angel by Rohit Gore

"Guardian Angel" was another book I received for review via WriteTribe.


 First few chapters and I was very skeptical this was going to turn out into another Bollywood plot. It after all had all the usual suspects - A pampered rich boy who
needs his poor but spirited - idealist childhood (girl)friend to guide him through life. The differences in their outlook  as they grow into late teens - Rich-capitalist vs Social-Worker -  and the fights that arise out of it seemed  predictable. But thankfully the book didn't turn out to be yet another cliched love story....

The plot turned out to be a winner. Sadly, the same cannot be said about the editing - too many typos and grammatical errors. The first few chapters  could have been made crisper. If you can ignore these irritants, the book can be a good read..... Honestly, it did take me by surprise!

A special mention for the book cover - if a cover can tell the story of entire novel then this is it!

Overall Rating - 3/5. Could have been 3.5 if not for the typos, grammatical errors.

  3. I enjoyed reading this book. Yes, the editing of the book could have been a bit tighter and the length of the book could have been reduced to 250 pages.

  4. Wow, the typos and the grammatical errors would kill it for me. I tend to be somewhat of a perfectionist about that stuff especially in a world where spell and grammar check exist. I am afraid it would take away from the story too much and I would be mentally correcting it instead of reading it! :P Nice writeup!
