Blurb / plot / summary :
Sneak Peak will take you through a time when APPLE was still a fruit, children spend time playing with each other rather than in front of computers and a time when people rescued a dying person instead of taking their video and posting on Facebook. There was a simpler time in the 80's and 90's and those who lived those times and who didn’t, will equally love what you are going to read here. It’s not my story but it is yours too! The hero of this story is not Dhyankumar but the story itself. Here Dhyankumar closely post-mortems the various phases in his life, how he felt and how different it would have been, or should have been, had he thought in a different way. The book deeply emphasizes the values of friendship and how it can change one’s life and sometimes destroy the same.[sic]



Overview/ My Opinion:  I had mixed feelings while reading this book, firstly it did give me the feeling of nostalgia as i proceeded with this book. The very first page itself caught my interest, the narration was good and the writing style was easy going & good . The language was easy, crisp and lucid.
Now coming to the plot, I really appreciate this author's idea of coming up with such a unique and diverse plot, which is very much needed in todays technological world. I like how family and relationships are been spoken about in this book.
This book will help you slow down in the little whirlwind that we city people have been caught up in.
Itll get back those memories of your childhood and your teen days.
Now coming to the part where the book required some serious improvements, firstly the character development, it could have been way much better than it is, I couldnt really connect with the characters well,  infact i even lost the connection with them at a certain point, secondly though I liked the writing style, the language used and the plot, i must say that it was unnecessarily overstretched, I  found my interest in it dwindling,  the pace of the book became really slow in the between. Next is the title and the cover, i think a little more attention to them would have made a lot of difference, the cover looks quite immature and not very much complementing to the title and the summary.  Also,  this is not something that I normally add into my reviews but,
print of the letters was extremely minute, which caused a strain on my eyes.
Lastly, I think the content inside didn't  totally complement with the summary, i.e not much of what according to the summary had to be delivered was done, itll be right to say that 80% was delivered and 20% wasn't.
Overall it was a good, light,quick and an easy going read, would recommend it if you're a beginner or looking out for a really fresh, quick and a light read.

My Rating: 3/5💫

Special thanks to Half baked beans publishers for sending me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
