PC: Disha Doshi

“It is said Hell has three gates Lust, greed and anger. But Lie plays an important role in getting close to the hell…

A very very interesting and engaging story. It’s witty and full of practical knowledge which should be learnt to live in this deceptive world. The book is in easy language and the way it’s written I am quite impressed it’s suspense with a tinge of wittiness. I really enjoyed this one. This should be read by everyone to know the reality of this fake world.”- Mannat Chaudhary.

“Well, to me, this very book served well enough with its purpose to bring me back my lost hope. After failing in different phases of life one after another, I’ve been mostly dedicated towards work and nothing else where as the likings to have a group of friends to hang out with, and to have someone to count over, was a thing I stopped believing in. Through the heart’s binoculars, author has seen a completely different world of pain, grief, emotions and shades of happiness which comes when one decides to take a new step ahead. Books like such simply turn into a specialised form of read with its own way of making space in the mind of reader. Being a Con artist, the protagonist who faced more than just devastation around in life, the character description and role-play of this lead character in the book required way too much of attention which the author succeeded with, to a height great enough. The simple combination of pain and sadness in the book is mixed up to blend in with a beautiful way which I really enjoyed throughout the book.” – Dhatri

Ms Chaudhary got the Biblical reference implied in the title right and is probably justified calling the world a deceptive one, necessitating the understanding the underlying of any attractive proposition in order to steer clear of frauds.

With the count of Amazon reviews touching 63 while curating this story (on January 22, 2022 barely two months since the release), I could have gone on bragging about the 97% positive reviews the book has received, but this one by Dhatri (name as appearing in the reviews) meant a lot to me as the reviewer has clearly identified with at least one of the characters in the story. She further could appreciate a completely different aspect of this apparent con story in the emotional attachment and support one finds from unexpected sources that appear at the most difficult of times. With these reviews and several others which you can find on Amazon, I feel vindicated in my attempt to explore human emotions while narrating a story that essentially offers enough distractions of a more thrilling nature. The current average rating of the book is 4.4/5 (4.39 in Goodreads) if that helps you decide to place an order.
