REVIEW

Freedom by JNK is a ‘Children’s Crime & Thriller’ book addressing a few serious subjects with very plain writing and a simple plot. The book contains two parts, Human Trafficking and Encounter with Soul. The first part is narrated in first person POV by the main character, Honey. And likewise in the second part by Rasbeen. Talking about the writing style, it really needs work because there are numerous grammatical and formatting errors which really wouldn’t go well with children’s linguistics. However, it is like informal and smooth that one couldn’t stop reading despite all these issues. Apart from that, the author has tried to be very vulnerable about telling sentiments of the protagonists which is good as long as it conveys the seriousness of the matter, but not while mentioning the same element as often as done in this book rather showing why one should feel what they are feeling. The author has put out every little detail there, which I think can be proven good.

The book is set in Ahmedabad where a huge human trafficking racket is active. They perform all the illegal activities with the help of their international network and some local fraudsters. And the women and children of underprivileged communities become their victims. Honey is working for a famous detective when she receives one such case of disappearance. The second part depicts the struggles of a young student, the agonies and spiral of thoughts when one is compelled to perform best in order to survive this unfair world with no other choice. The author succeeded in connecting through those vulnerable main characters and suggested that something is very wrong with this humankind.

About the plot, it really kept me to the edge of my seat as it was interesting and I couldn’t wait to discover how the protagonist would deal with the situation. She was in danger and part of a much greater plan. I cared about the main character as she connected directly through personal diary-like writing. However, it ended rather abruptly without any conflict. And about the second part, the conception was excellent but again the execution could have been better.


Like any other book, this also had pros and cons. What I really liked was how the author connected through this vulnerable narration despite flawed writing style and hooked me till the end.


Happy Reading!
