The problems between me and this book is - The first unexpected shock that shattered my energy: It's not horror story as I assumed from the cover, there's nothing like horror novel rather it's funny, it reminds me another Bengali author Shirshendu Mukherjee. In my teens I was a big fan of his writings. Still I was enjoying, but then I met huge disappointment: The narrative has the voice of early teens but all the characters in this book are above thirty.. When above the age thirty, peoples talking like 13 , it doesn't work for me. You will enjoy it if you are not Bengali: This book beautifully written and filled with Bengali culture and lifestyle yet only focused on food, exaggerated too much, stretched too much not given space to flourish the eerie atmosphere, IMO. I wasn't expecting food menu blended in novel, it's mouthwatering but please tell me story: And too much food food and food didn't work for me, it slowed down the pace and felt unnecessarily embellished the plot and expanded beyond my imagination. I feel it's a confused book, not for adult readers nor suitable for kids, it doesn't mean to be horror and not fully a fun book. Didn't work for me. What is really good in this book is: Impeccably written about Bengali 's life. Author's word play is amazing, she is superbly skilled. #TheScatchAndSniffChronicles #Readalong #Bookreview #Bookreviewersofig
