Book Review— ‘I Played a Game with Life’ by Richard Son
“An intEresting story about personal life struggles,
Friendship,love and other overriding factors of today’s modern day traditional
family survival… "
This is the
novel by Richard Son … This is a story of Sam, today’s emblematic
guy who love life happy and carefree, but has high ambition to exceeds and
achieve more than a normal boy can hope to. Sam has his own set of worries,
complains, and his never ending anguish with his family. A new college mate
girl ‘Amritha ‘ a modern cool super rich girl enters Sam’s life and the moment
he sets his eyes on her he knows she’s going to play hard to get, but cupid
plays its role in between them, and take them into a world of romance.
When
everything around seems smooth and as per the plan, in reality it just wasn't.
This is when Life starts pressing down on Sam. Though Sam’s attitude about
living life is to be happy and cool, he finds himself being tested. One after
another problem sets him on perimeters to make him undergo that assessment
which veritably ends up playing a game with Life. A game that ends when Life's
travails get so hard that Sam is pushed to tears, situation and circumstances
pushes him into a world of distress and culpability. Undergoing such problems
and emotional turmoil, still Sam manages to grip on to hope. He struggle the turning
points of his life when his father doesn't supports him in the cause and his
struggle to set things right becomes a tough task. This is a story about lost
hopes, fading ambitions, silence of an innocent soul, and intense love for a
girl and in the end the price Sam pays for each and everything.
The story is real
good example of hope, learning and implement, how to achieve success make
dreams come true.
Now my Positive viewpoints:
The
concept and climax is good, on each and every page it will teach you a lesson.
The struggle and achievement of Sam is something very inspiring and narrated
well. Indeed
the story will shake up your emotions to understand the story of Sam and his
life.
Some suggestive points:
Overall
the book is really good and very well expressed; I would like to suggest that a
little stringent editing was required as there are some typing errors in the
book. The only drawback of the book is the description of happenings in college
life. Which makes the first half is no different from
many other stories in present times and reader tend to lose interest.
Final
words:
Overall if asked I would say...this is a good job done by Author… (Richard Son) I would give 3 stars to
this book.
