I thought the book Truly, Madly, Deeply was a great read. I loved it for it's innocence and pure emotions. It is a must- read for every Indian who loves to read. A little reference here and there to Bollywood films and music makes it all the more fun. Rahul and Seema make a lovely couple. The book took me back to my school days. It makes you realize not only the power of love, but also that of memories... something that will remain with us forever, even when the world backs out. The lines from p...

This book will surely challenge the fact that men don't cry. Taking the fact that the protagonist is a young male of about seventeen and combining it with another fact that I shamelessly shed tears as I read this one, I can safely bet on my first statement.Where romance is often thought of as girlish and combined with chick-lit, the author has delivered a rare diamond in this area. Very few books have the ability to play with time, not just in the sense that you lose track of all time when you r...

Truly, Madly, Deeply is a book about first loves and obsessions.In his debut novel, Faraaz Kazi tells a beautiful story about two teenage lovers: Rahul, and Seema, and their touching and tragic love story. From the onset, I thought this was one of your typical love stories where a girl and guy fall in love in school and end up together forever in the island of dreams because everyone is too perfect (which was reinforced by the fact that both main characters were described as very beautiful and i...

‘Truly, Madly, Deeply… memoirs of a broken heart’s first love’ is one of the most wonderful romance novels I have read till date. This is not your usual college-kind of a fairy tale romance but a very unique and subtle love story with intense emotions right from the word ‘go’. I picked up this book from a bookshelf in a store, just to sample it with my eyes after seeing the striking blue cover. And for the next six hours straight, I was at the store on a bean bag, reading this delightful tale. ...

Love is a mysterious feeling; have you not felt it play hideand seek with you too? It hides beneath anger at times, evenfear or hatred, its less extreme cousins. At other times, it openlyflaunts itself through that extra glint in the eyes, the accelerationof heartbeats and so many other such minuscule things whichassume humungous proportions when it comes to this four-letterword. In its nascent stage, love is shy, cowardly and dormant. Butwhen it awakes, it has the power to rewrite destiny, to d...

“Faraaz Kazi sends you on a nostalgic trip — back to those days of first love.” - The Hindu."It is warmly recommended to readers of all ages who have a strongly romantic bent of mind. Young rush of passion!" - Sakaal Times.“Amazed with the author’s narrative and literary prowess, this being his first book. Truly Madly Deeply is a touching read that will surely make you fetch the tissues and recollect your first love.” -Verse and Verbs Literary.“The alternation of feelings and actions, sometimes ...

FIRST OF ALL! Throwing excellent vocabulary to re-phrase sentences doesn’t deepen emotions, it just further complicates the subjective matter. Plus Points: A bit different from regular Ekta Kapoor drama script! 2.0/5.o for the plot. (Other plus ones I am still thinking!) Drawbacks:I am accurately feeling like a football kicked back and forth between a love-struck loony’s memories overruling his present. (I am sounding too harsh & heartless but existing conversations in this one are to be bl...

This book was a waste of my time. Voting this book in all the lists under different user names won't make it an international hit, I'm sorry. This author has no idea how Americans talk and I was having second hand embarrassment for him while reading some of the dialogues. Seriously, how many people in Philadelphia use the word 'bloke'?(unless they are doing some harry potter role playing of course.)

I'm up to Page 28 now. Every once in a while, when I'm feeling lazy about rewrites, I whip out this book to reassure myself that India needs me. This book should NOT be a popular representative of Indian English genre fiction. Seriously, I had a friend in law school who used to write like this. He had no idea of the rules governing grammar, let alone those required to write fiction. His idea of a good paper was to string together a bunch of multi-syllabic words with no cohesion and no integrity ...

After coming off the back of epic love stories such as Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series, Jennifer Donnelly's superb 'The Tea Rose' and her breathtaking follow-up 'The Winter Rose', and my all time favourite 'The Bronze Horseman' by Paullina Simons, the fact that this book is absolutely annihilating everything in its wake in the polling section of Goodreads, I just had to purchase this as soon as my Kindle arrived... For those who are as curious as I was - save your money. Clearly there has been...
