8 pm An Apolitical Love Story is a political satire narrated
in accordance with Rahul’s ordeal. The book briefly conveys all the major
political developments happening in Indian political and social establishment,
the policies and events that have made news and left an impact on citizens
directly or indirectly. Rahul’s life tragedies and incidents are largely based
around government policies. At majority of instances these subtle nuances is utterly
humorous while a few are repetitive. Fazle Karim blends fact fiction and humor
to create a humorous read.
8 pm is an odd love story, odd in the sense of its
narration and its final outcome. The book is about Rahul’s insecurities in
life. It is about how Rahul is beaten in love twice and that to by the same
person- irony but true. The betrayal he faced in love and then a failed
marriage made him insecure and less reliant on people even if they were true
and genuine. This book has some great moments from college life and first kiss
and heartbreak. Rahul’s character is beautifully portrayed his arrogance and
his attributes all seems genuine. 8 pm is an entertaining read and the side
characters leave a remarkable impact on the story. The story lacked closure for
me and there a few unanswered questions, guess writer wants us to assume the
fate of other characters. I would have love to read more of Rasna …..
