About the book A Known Stranger:

Well the blurb of the book reads as follows:
Story Plot:
Have you ever known a stranger? LIFE MOVES ON and so did Parth Shastri. Jumping from engineering to his profession of interest, he is living his dream. Set in the cellphone era, the story takes you up and down Parth's life of rage, friendship, office sleaze and relationship issues. When for his greed he loses his family--- he has his guide and mentor by his side to make sure he breathes in the fleapit. Caught between web of people; some haunt him and some his yesterday. Can he confront the past?
Can he get through his web of lies?
LIFE MOVES ON...

Characterization: It is the story of Parth Shastri and his life where he is confused somewhat. The way he brought up the character of Parth is extremely alluring. He studied engineering but follows his heart. This is a plus point of the character where he sees the life ahead of him. His friends and an important character Murli's  kind of presentation is eye catching which will keep oneself attached to the book.
Tiksha and Pratiksha's character had been described both as a woman but with a tinge of innocence. This surely makes them look opposite to Parth Shastri which makes it even more catchy.

Review: The book is an interesting read when it hits the climax to Parth Shastri revealing his truths and losing of his family. Both pathetic and vulgar these areas and scenes will be well received by the readers. In all, the book is somewhat adventurous, interactive and emotional.

Language: The language is simple and young adults are definitely going to like the way in which it is written. Sarthak Kelapure has done a great job with his pen in his debut novel. It has a soothing smooth flow of words.

A line to keep you remember this book:
"We weren't perfect yesterday, we aren't perfect today, neither will we be perfect tomorrow. But that doesn't mean we cannot make things perfect."


Reader's point of view: A good read which can be enjoyed during leisure time.
