Of Closets And Skeletons By Kaivalya Ramnath Book Review 

Of Closets And Skeletons By Kaivalya Ramnath, this book is crime fiction so this book has 92 pages it is a super quick read crime fiction as a genre is very exciting and entertaining to read and in the case of this book

These eight short stories even though they fall under the umbrella of crime fiction they are vastly different from each other out of these eight stories five have been told in first person by the protagonists of those stories which sets 

This little book apart from other books in this genre is that stories are quirky and as the synopsis of this book suggests the stories in this book are concerned with the why of the crime rather than the who of the crime so that is something very unique about this book 

So these stories progress in ways that are unexpected and clever and that is absolutely delightful the thing is that these stories are super short and because of that as a reader 

You do not get any time to formulate any conspiracy theories as to how the story will end because before that can happen the new story begins and as a result of that there is no predictability in this book 

You can't predict what's going to happen because the pattern of the stories is very very different from the usual crime fiction books because as I told you even the synopsis of this book says that the stories are concerned with the why rather than the who of the crime 

Honestly, these stories live up to that claim each and every story in this book has a completely new vibe and each and every story in this book gives the reader a totally fresh experience which is great another thing that I noticed about this book was that it had social commentary in it from time to time 

What I liked about that part was that this social commentary did not seem to stick out like a sore thumb it blended in with the stories so that was definitely very impressive and good one thing I really liked about this book was that the stories in 

This book were super detailed and they were full and complete and the experience of reading them did not feel dissatisfying at all you see I love short books but one challenge that I have often faced with reading short reads is that when you read 

These books because they are so short something or the other is left off for the reader to figure out and basically there are aspects of the story that are open to interpretation that was not the case with this book at least I did not think 

So out of the eight stories in this book five stories have been narrated by the protagonists of the stories in first person so these stories are perfect crime demons whose life is it anyway how to get away with murder of closets and skeletons 

So what set these stories apart in my opinion was that the protagonists narrating these stories had very intriguing personalities often what happens is that when you read a story that is told in first person the narrator is not somebody who stands out particularly in the story the narrator is usually a bland character who is experiencing the story 

Who is on the sidelines and who is witnessing what the main more interesting characters are doing but that was not the case with this book these five stories had narrators who were the protagonists with colorful personalities themselves and that made these stories far more impactful in my opinion 

I wish more stories had interesting narrators instead of the boring ones but that's another topic entirely the other three stories were also not bad in fact one of the stories that I really liked in this book was called a poison pill and that wasn't told in first person 

Now finally I want to talk about the writing and the language of this book and I loved everything about how this book has been written I have nothing to complain about in terms of the writing of this book because that was my absolute favorite part about this book 

The stories were great but they were made even better and they were definitely enhanced because of how wonderfully they have been written the writing is impressive it is crisp and it is so much fun to read 

I had a great time with this book just because of the writing and the language alone had the stories not been impressive I still would have liked this book because of how they were written 

So the writing in this book was very very powerful and I loved everything about it so that was my review of Of Closets and Skeletons by Kaivalya Ramnath.
