Cover Review:
The cover is abstract, yet intriguing. I'd wanted to read this book since I spotted that cover. So when I got the review opportunity, I grabbed it with both hands!
Book Review:
I totally agree with the blurb. This book makes you think. A lot. Philosophy isn't something that usually interests me, but this book was an exception.
I loved how intricately the stories of the three monks were weaved together. The connection was hard to guess, but made all the sense.
Of the three though, I found Rizwan's story to be the most believable. And the most interesting too.
To say that the last segment was gory would be an understatement. It was inhuman. I wouldn't suggest this book to a person with a weak stomach. I myself found it hard to read.
The only thing that irked me was how the format changed. Most of the novel is written in the story style and yet the fourth segment, comprising of maybe 40 pages, was written in screenplay/play format. I haven't ever read a book that mixes two types of styles like this, so it kinda felt weird.
All in all though, Demons In My Mind is a goosebumps raising page turner!
