Review
I thank the author and The Book Club for this review copy.
The first thing I noticed about the book was the cover. While I could get a basic idea about the contents with the title, the cover image summed it up perfectly. Placing the colors inside the head was a clear indication of what the book was going to be - the power of a positive mind and facing life's obstacles.
Simply put, the book is a collection of experiences and life tales, often taken from the author's own life, inspired the people she had come across or met, and those who somehow impacted her. The first part contains the stories of the seven hues of the rainbow, attributing one particular color to an event and a life lesson. The other parts contain little snippet and life lessons with the author's interpretation of the same. The book contains quotes at regular intervals, regularly dotted throughout the narrative.
The author's struggles and inspirational life are clearly a huge influence on the book (naturally) and each 'chapter' or 'essay' as it could be called is full of deep insights into life and the various googlies it might throw at us. While the book mainly talks about things we should already know and apply in our life, there is something alluring about the way the author has written it. And after all, reading it from a person who seems to know what she is talking about makes much more sense.
But there are some things the book could have done better. No matter how inspiring the message is, the tone becomes slightly commanding and the life experiences seem moulded and adapted to the messages the author wanted to convey. The language, though, is good enough and uses the right words to convey the right things, is not overly flashy or littered with unnecessary jargon (as is often the case with such books) and is devoid of any glaring errors. This helps a lot in sitting through the book, reading about virtues that need to be inculcated.
The major pluses are : associating hues and colours to each emotion and tale, spreading inspiring messages that might make someone take a different outlook on life. The language is good, with minimal grammar and proofing errors.
Things that could have been better: the tone of the book could have been a bit more reader friendly and nonpreachy. The stories, though real, did not quite get the effect they should have, at least for me.
Rating: 4/5
