Upendra Namburi

8 Hours is the third book by Upendra Naburi, but actually, it is the first one I (or for that many any of our team members) got a chance to read.

The cover page has a good mixture of dark colors and though it is not exceptionally great, it goes fine with the theme of the book.

The Plot:
Aratrika Reddy, the CEO of ARYA is a strong-willed woman. Unfortunately, it is neither the best nor the good time running for her company. It is well-known fact that the business owners had to deal with the local politicians and as the business spread across the country, often the big players of politics also come into the play. Here, the company is trying to spread its wings outside of India and at least in terms of funding, they have some foreign partners as well.

Will Aratrika be able to save the company? Who is playing the double game and why? Are there any personal demons of the prime characters playing their roles too? Well, you need to read the book to get the answer :).

Views and Reviews:
While I am trying to make this review as much spoiler-free as possible, I cannot reveal much about the content, even while analyzing it. I can say that the story itself is good and the pace is maintained throughout, with some bumps, of course. The climax could have been better.

The author, Upendra, tries remaining as much realistic as much possible by painting the characters of the good with shades of both black and white. So, you see strong characters throughout the book. And, as the story progresses, you can see different layers of their respective characters.

The author’s vocabulary is rich and he knows how to put sarcasm and punchlines effectively in such thrillers.
We have all hurt each other. We are family, after all.

I would have had time and leverage if I had that money. You’ve taken that away from me and, hence, I am compelled to take something away from you as well. That’s the circle of life.

The book contains some wisdom lessons also:
Arrogance can shroud a man’s judgment. It can also blind someone.

The idea behind sharing some interesting segments of the book is that you yourself can get the idea about the writing, and how much it suits your taste :).

Rating:
I would give it around 7.5 stars out of 10.

Nice title. The image of hourglass on the cover with dark background indicate the story that runs for 8 hours.


There are many charecters , they are intelligent smart and shrewd at the same time some are villainous. The main plot is rare one. . The subplots are awesome. . The strength of the novel lies on the fast pace and once you start to read means you won’t leave it until you reach the end. The climax is a fitting one The story moves through dialogue and past events are told in flash back .


The characters are so meaty , the dialogue so intriguing , and the happenings are so realistic.


There are suspense and spine-chilling events to hook you. The icing of the cake is that the story is told in conversations alone . The storyteller in the author reveals in keeping the tempo till the end.


The book discusses the following points thru the social drama


The nexus between prehensile heads of big corporate companies and corrupt politicians.


The methodology adopted to settle the scores


The magic of pulling the strings to achieve the desired ends.


The blurb calls the protagonist a charismatic VIP of Arya but she is also blessed with photogenic memory which helps her a lot . She is aggressive acting with prudence and sharp intelligence


The gory tale deals with the fraudulent indulgence and gruesome crimes .Eerie intense and well crafted novel transports readers to the corporate realm with all its ugliness and true colour albeit it flaunts a rosy picture with the extravagance show.




My verdict.


The thriller is an amazing read for crime fiction lovers. The language is so good, you would enjoy the twists and turns which accelerate your reading .Especially this book is meant for class audience and others also can enjoy the tale.


Readers would be drawn into this novel which explores the grey areas of cheating, vices and criminal activities


The author who is fond of numbers has given a thriller with all the masala enough to be made into a script for a movie.


The Editing is good. The font is small and paper quality is medium. . The cover and design by Gloworm Creations and the cover photograph Konsantin Kirillow/ Alamy stock photo are fantastic.


A dazzling novel from the author of weird and inimitable riveting crime thriller . it evokes a spell binding concoction of crime , history , horror and adventure.
