Catch Me If You Can by Rafaa Dalvi


The Blurb:
What happens when the world's best detective realizes that his prodigy has become a wanted global con artist? Prepare for a wild cat-and-mouse chase around the world.

What I Felt About The Book
Catch Me If You Can is a really really short  book - just 18 pages. The author used very simple language and started with a comic incident.

I so wish I could write more good lines in addition to above. I so hate to write a review I would not like to read for myself! But then, I cannot be dis-honest in my own blog.

The blurb says that it’s a cat and mouse chase which again fell flat. Honestly, sometimes, I have found comedy TV shoes more gripping and comical at the same time. The only time I smiled was in there beginning section where the making of one of the main characters is described.

Considering it was a short story, I still felt that a few more lines or paragraphs on the character building could have been better. The book just began and ended when the I began to gain interest.

A grammatical mistake is the biggest turn down in any book. While everyone is bound to make mistakes, including myself on this very blog, but still- an error -  that too in such little book!

In between everything, I managed to highlight 1 line - which earned a star from me :P


If history has taught us anything, it's that you either eat or get eaten up."






I felt it was very hurried attempt! Honestly, it could have been a good story and a nice read if more time, words and twists were given to it.
