Book Review : The Leeway Towers
Title - The Leeway Towers
Author - Abhih Singh
Publisher - Frog Books
Genre - fiction
Pages - 401
Format - paperback
.
.
The plot of the story is divided into two parts -
First part is set up in 2020 (present) in an island in the Indian Ocean. Due to over population there is a fight over resources, growing unemployment and corruption which results into civil war. Kal, (only school boy at that time) our protagonist finds his life radically altered by the conflict.
Second part is set up in 2034(future) where he finds peace and organisation all over the place after returning from Australia. But there's something odd about the order. Does a fringe group hold answers?
Grab the book to find out.

Review -
1) The cover of the book is beautiful but non relatable and the title of the book is eye catchy.
2) The plot of the story is deep and amazing. In this book the author talks about political, social, cultural and environmental issues.
3) The first part seems to be realistic because the author highlights the current situation of the world in which we live like overpopulation, lack of resources etc.
4) The language used in this book is simple and the writing style of the author is good. I liked the conversational style of writing.
5) The characters are very well developed and described by the author. I liked the character of Kal which is very much sensitive.
6) The quality of pages and printing is very good.
7) The pace of the story could have been faster.
8) Overall, a good fictional story which is full of motivation.

About the author -
Abhih Singh was born in 1984, at a Naval base in Cochin. He spent his early childhood in Port Blair wandering beaches and woods, went to a boys’ school in South Bombay, and attended university in Australia, attaining degrees in Liberal Arts and International Relations. His work experiences have been varied, ranging from office types to disc jockeying and handling produce. Over recent years he has lived in Bangalore in a building teeming with environmentalists and politically charged artist sorts, and in an old Portuguese house in Goa in the midst of snakes, dogs, and disappearing cats. He is currently based in Pune, where he continues to write and produce music. The Leeway Towers is his second novel.
Thanks for reading.
