I got a chance to read
few unedited chapters of renowned author Kunal Marathe’s soon to release book
“The Internet Sensation”. Well, friendship does give you few favours indeed. I
am really grateful to Kunal for considering me for this privilege.
“The Internet
Sensation” is a coming of age crime thriller. It revolves around the normal
day-to-day life of a college student, his dreams, his love interest and his
perceptions about different facets of life. The story gets a kick-start when
the protagonist commits suicide in the very beginning of the book. Kunal has
chosen the second lead i.e. the protagonist’s best friend, as the narrator. He
narrates the story of his best friend to the investigating officer and that is
how the cards unfold.
The prologue of the
book is mind-boggling. Totally raw, crude and unexpected…! Even the opening
sequence of the main story is relatively blunt. People with soft heart and mind
may take a little longer to get used to this style of story-telling. But, that
is what appealed me the most. It is time we quit sugar-coating ourselves and
come in terms with the reality of life. And “The Internet Sensation” could be
the perfect start for such people who are actually looking towards it. The
title itself justifies the story and narration since Kunal has chosen the
sensational art of story-telling.
The sample chapters of
“The Internet Sensation” have left me craving for more. I cannot wait to read
this story as a whole. Let us see, what more Kunal has to offer in this wonderful
crime thriller.
Best of Luck, Kunal!
