“LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT” is FLAWLESSLY INSPIRING
“LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT” is the
second novel by “best selling” author Preeti Shenoy. Set in early 80s, it is the story of Ankita
Sharma – a young, good looking and talented girl. She completes her graduation
from St. Agnes (Cochin), and manages to get into a premier MBA college in
Bombay (yes not Mumbai, as the story is set in 80s.) Everything goes
exceptionally right for her, as she explores her hidden talents and excels and
progresses in whatever she does. But a few months later, she gets admitted to a
mental health hospital.
“Life Is What You Make It” is the
story of how Ankita touches the pinnacle of success, the events that lead to
her descent, and how she takes control of her life, and comes out as a
WINNER. Thus, proving that life is CERTAINLY what you make it. Preeti Shenoy is,
by far, one of the best Indian writers I have read. Her impeccably strong hold
on the language, her clarity of the story, and her way of expressing her
thoughts are her biggest strengths. As a book, “Life is what you make it” is
certainly one of the most well written books in the recent times. The story is well
narrated, though it drags a little at certain points, but by the time you
finish reading the book, you realise that your life is not that bad either. When
the current Indian market is flooded with Love-BreakUp-HeartAche kind of ‘chiclit’
books, “Life Is What You Make It” comes as a fresh breather. Young
writers (including myself) should take a cue from Preeti Shenoy, and realise
that books can DO WELL, without writing too many slangs.
On the whole, Preeti Shonoy’s “Life
Is What You Make It” is FLAWLESSLY INSPIRING. Readers of any age group can and
should read this book, at least once. I give 4 stars out of 5, and thumbs up
for Preeti Shenoy’s “Life Is What You Make It”.
Verdict: One of the best books in recent
times. Flawlessly Written and Inspires to Live... Happily!
