My Opinion

Mind Bending Psychological Thriller

Aditya Modak has done a commendable work in his book Arachnid. With limited characters, the author has woven a web of story which will definitely bend your mind. At a point, I was also not able to discern that which event is real and which is not. A powerful and excellent debut by a new author. I could not put down the book and finished in one sitting only. The book deserves a 5 star rating.

Character Portrayal 

Jay Mukherjee is the character in focus in Arachnid by Aditya Modak. The whole story revolves around him. The tertiary characters do not have much to say. Everything plays between Jay and his mind.

Narrative Style

The author has penned down the story in a simple manner using simple and easy language. The book is perfect for beginners.
