Short stories are always difficult to read. There is separate class who love and read short stories. Most of readers always have complaint about short stories storyline. I had complaints too but after reading many short stories, I understood the theme. Short stories are not a full 200+ pages novel but 10 pages story with in-between-the-line messages. 5 Soul searching short stories are one of them.
5 Soul Searching stories were quite simple and narrations were very straight forward. All stories are picked up from day-to-day life scenarios, you can connect/relate story with anyone’s life. All the stories start well, engage the reader and force reader to think.There are some weak points as well like ends are so predictable but still author did amazing job.
Good to have this novel in travel bag-pack. You can complete in 10 hours. Go, Get it and Read it.
Note: I received a copy of book from BecomeShakeshpeare.Com and I am very much thankful to publication account to share such an amazing novel.
