Blurb: An Ideal Wife ---- Beware of what you wish
for.What happens when the technology savvy Dwarf God, one the driver of the Biggest God in Heaven, sets out to find an ideal Wife for a man on earth?
Seems like a simple
thing for a god to handle, right? But there is the catch – God has never
created a girl with all the qualities this man, Sameer, wants in his Ideal
Wife. And now, to make matter worse, Dwarf God has to do it without using his
divine powers.
Will he be able to
find the girl? Will she be an Ideal Wife for Sameer?
Disclaimer: You can’t blame the author if you get married after
reading this.
Verdict: ‘An
Ideal Wife’ is the debut novel of Sanjay Grover. Can you imagine a man is
writing a book named Ideal Wife but this author has chosen this subject for his
debut work. The name in itself gives the hint that this book is going to be
interesting because how can a Wife be ideal and that also for a man.
The cover looks bright with the perfect color combination of
gorgeous yellow and soothing blue. The funky font on the cover gives the book
the perfect flavor needed for a humorous book like this. I love the first
appearance of the book which will definitely create an urge among the readers
to know what the author has to offer.
The story is a brilliant outcome of the author’s
imagination. The story starts in heaven where a Dwarf God played his story of
how he earned respect after getting the post of god on his retirement day in
front of aspiring gods. The dwarf god came in to earth to help one of his atheist
devotee name Sameer to help him find his Ideal Wife and trapped himself in a
promise.
Sameer, basically a good guy gained a habit of winning bets
and landed himself in a bet with one of his colleague to find his Ideal Wife
within a year. The list that contains the quality needed in his Ideal Wife make
the technology shrewdness Dwarf God gasp for breath. But he has to find the
girl for Sameer because God cannot break his promise. The story takes an
interesting turn when Sameer gets married to his Ideal Wife and makes another
bet to be happy for one more year with his wife. Why the author uses the
tagline of ‘Beware what you wish for’? How can a god be landed up in jail? And
did Sameer finally win the bet? To know these answer one must read this book.
The author has adopted a funny narrating style. His one
liners and efficiently written anecdotes will make the readers enjoy the whole
journey of searching the ideal Wife for Sameer. The characterization was good
but I felt a few more descriptions will help them become visible to the
readers.
I felt the end can be a bit more interesting and has been written
in a hurry. The way the book started and goes till the end, the reader’s
expectation will grow for the ending. But the ending was not up to the mark.
Few editing errors are also spotted here and there which can disturb the flow
of the story. Overall I enjoyed reading it because of its different plot and
funny writing style.
Final Words:Sanjay
Grover in his debut work has presented a different plot which will definitely
attract the readers. I appreciate the author for offering such a wonderful
message through such a humorous storyline.
