A semi-dystopian novel that revolves around a boy named “Anicetus” who dares to cross the walls of city he is living in and explore the things which perhaps none of his peers has experienced. The children in the city are taught few selected subjects which perhaps gives them no time to think about anything else and turn them subconsciously into slaves who never get the chance to see the real world; which is evident from the fact when Anicetus refers to tree as “pillar with branches and leaves” while talking to a girl who lives beyond the wall. The characters, the music, and the soccer are described with great verisimilitude.
However, the book leaves readers with several questions like why a particular position for taking a test, why the institute is named CII (Central Intelligence Institute), why there are walls surrounding the city. I expect the author, Mr. Srijoy Mitra, will be releasing exciting sequel with answers to the questions raised in this novel.
My overall rating of the book is 3.5*/5*
