Book review : The Belated Bachelor Party by Ravinder Singh

Interesting title, lively book cover, written by not-one-of-my-favourite authors but then I wanted to read something light and it seemed the universe took the cue and the book was sent to me for an honest review by the publisher - HaperCollins.

Can love happen twice? - by Ravinder Singh was the first book that I read written by him. Those were the days when I was love bitten and crushed by the crush. I did liked the book but not as much to start reading everything that was written by the author. I can say...it was just a one-book-thing.

So when I took The Belated Bachelor Party, I honestly was not very keen but yes...so wanted a break.

The books is a story of 4 friends who decide to go on a bachlor party. Now the fun part is, they have been married for years, but never actually had a bachlor party and so - THE BELATED BACHELOR PARTY!!  Hence the book will relate to the hundreds of Indian males who have never had an actual bachlor party...guys...someone really feels for you. Infact, I will give the credit to the author here. The book is about the reunion of four friends and considering how 'men will be men', they want to plan a wild and adventurous reunion, their - THE BELATED BACHLOR PARTY. 

Another reason why Indian males, married males, will relate to it more is because..these friends try to convince their wives and...nah!! I cant reveal more. But there are these parts, where I really liked the author. He has so sensibly mixed fun and sentiments that it touched my heart as a female.

I like movies and have decades of friendship with my friends, so instances, where one can be totally oneself with friends around and especially with friends who know all your deep secrets from school or college days is always heart-touching. I felt like wanting to go on an all-girls-trip soon.

Ofcourse there were parts in the book where I really didnt feel up to keep on reading. This I am saying for the storyline, as it gets very basic and predictable. For me, the sentence creation, the dialogues did went a bit kiddish, given the age of the boys...sorry men. The parts where they discussed some serious issues too seemed out of the flow and abrupt. Though it made me go down the memory lane but it seemed repetitive of things we have read before or seen in movies and was not captivating enough.

Overall, I'll rate it a 2 out 5.
