Interesting premise, but the execution was a bit uneven for me. Some parts were brilliant, others less so. Still thought provoking.
Archana Sebastian –
The story was good but the character felt underdeveloped. I expected more depth in their motive.
Urja Parmar –
A funny and sad story. Ayyan is a complex character you root for despite his flaws. The ending felt a little rushed. Worth a read!

I had mixed feelings. The satire is great, but Ayyan’s actions are often difficult to condone. A complex but worthwhile read.
