My View:
Mesmerizing each and every stories written here has
unexpected twist, I really loved this anthology of short stories. Each and
every story conveys message to the reader, especially the first one and I
really loved to read this story where a small child ask her mother to describe
the death of his father, who was a police officer, the way this story described
by Abhishek Mukherjee is heart touching, where reader have to think who is the
killer.
My second favorite is a story of lizard grass, it
really created Goosebumps. How a doctors doing experiment and the depression of
a superstar revealed by the author Avishek Basu Mallick is amazing. Also I
loved to read the inspiring story of a teacher, who helps a stammering child to
become a singer.
The Jukebox is collection of 15 short stories where you
will get love, emotion, drama, rage, mystery, suspense etc. this collection
will appeal to youth as well as old age, each and every story is unique in its
own way. The cover of the book is excellent where a headphone is placed, which
conveys the message that there is good collection for you, so hear it or to be precise
read it.
I really appreciate the initiative done by the
writersmelon by giving a good platform to the budding writers who are unknown
to the world until this book published by them, who knows among this budding
writer anyone will become next Chetan Bhagat or Preeti Shenoy, lets wait and
watch.

Blurb:
A COLLECTION OF STELLAR SHORT STORIES BY BUDDING
WRITERS IN INDIA
A story you wish was NEVER narrated to an
eight-year-old. A chilly December morning and a lone gravestone – changed the
day and someone’s life. Old letters of a dead father, what secrets could they
hold for a long lost daughter? A seemingly ‘ideal marriage’ in an old city
smelling of love. An ageing alcoholic superstar finding a magical cure for his
incurable baldness. From middle-class Government quarter to a posh Neeti Bagh
bungalow, was there a price to pay for it!
Life would have been very different for the characters
in these stories, but for the choices they make. And who knows, you may even
find a reflection of your own self in these life altering choices! Spine
chilling drama and suspense, quirky, funny and awkward moments, poetic love of
hopeless romantics and a lot more is packed in this collection.
