The author in this particular book ‘Five Point Somene’ has depicted different scenes and situations about the characters: the initial introductory journey as the strangers in the class, in the Q – where they were ragged by the seniors, their parties on the roof of the Institute, their Library and night hour challenges with the assignments, the dates and long walks with the girlfriends, and many many more.
The writer with his specialized skills has represented every aspect of the legend in such a lifelike manner, so that the reader gets completely mesmerised and involved in the scene, as such as carried forward with the scene. Sometimes the words are so expressive and verbal, the reader instantly possesses a hair rising feeling as if he/she is a primary observer to the same. The text of the book makes the reader curious and a bit addictive to know what happens the next.
Thus, the book is a must read book and with a strong desire once again.
