Book Review: I too had a Love Story by Ravinder Singh


From the cover, you would guess that Ravinder Singh belongs to that irreverent club of new age authors of Masala English Novels which have mushroomed after the unprecedented success of Chetan Bhagat in this genre, but in thinking that, you would be doing an injustice to the author. Let’s face it, Ravinder Singh is not a literary wizard, you will not find elegant phrases, vivid descriptions and emotional undercurrents here, neither will you find cuss words, racy scenes or over-dramatization, what hits you most about this book is the sheer honesty of the author and the straight forward, frankness with which the tale has been told.
