The Pink Scarecrow
I got this book The Pink Scarecrow by Ankita Srivastava as a giveaway from goodreads to review.

This is a inspiring story of a young girl who, from a typical Indian girl, becomes a huge sensation by winning Mrs. India pageant. All her elegance, poise, and etiquette are attributed to the training she underwent in the Indian Army, which carved a confident and dignified personality from a shy and timid girl. The good things about the book are-

1.The English is very beautiful and the word used to describe Garvita 'The Pink Scarecrow' is apt.

2.The life of army is described in the book in a glorifying way, making me even more proud of our army and the discipline of the army officers.

3.The moral of the story- Chase your dreams with full vigor, and you'll achieve them for sure- is the best thing about the book which I felt.

4.Some poems and songs were very nice.

The not-so-good things are-

1.Excessive repetition of some thoughts of the protagonist about his feelings for Garvita.

2.Elaborate praise of the beauty pageant by the wife of protagonist's boss looked forced.

3.The story was very predictable after a few chapters.

To conclude, it is a good work in a new style. I am looking forward for her next book. Wishing the author luck !
