WORLD'S BEST BOYFRIEND Book Review


So after reading around 10 books by Durjoy Datta which give brilliant messages in themselves, 'World's Best Boyfriend' book turns out to be a huge disappointment. 

IN SHORT: The Boyfriend is anything but Best, I assure you that.

The story although has a lot of things, fails to be a page turner. The plot seems cliche, and at a point of time, turns out to be an unreasonable nonsense. Like the previous stories by Durjoy Datta, one can definitely not take inspiration or hope from this book as it fails to give any moral to the story. The writer in attempt to return with the dark humor he used to write in his initial books, goes overboard and spoils it.

More than any other thing, the writer for the first time failed miserably in dialogue delivery which did not bring the right emotions expected from the readers, or can we say the emotions at all. The love story is said to be revengeful in the synopsis but it looks more like immature tiff between high schoolers.

Other than that, the writer also could not do any proper justification to the characters as they seem unrealistic, mechanical and a little too cliche' to be real. The love story although seems to have a happy ending, in the larger picture, the pair don't seem to be fitting for each other. Also there are a lot of subplots in the story that goes unanswered.

I could not give any major spoilers to you in here because like other books of Durjoy Datta, this one doesn't have any major plot twists, like I said, a huge disappointment.

I would rate this book with 2 stars mainly for the witty one liners by Aranya and the characterisation of Sanchit.
