My Review:
Daisey is beautiful with an innocent face which belies her manipulative side. She is different from other people. She is obsessed with insects and feels that they are her true source of learning in life. She takes what she wants, possesses it and destroys anyone and anything in her path. Her enemies meet life destroying disasters. What lengths will Daisey go to?
Where will her insane need to possess everything that she likes take her?

"Look at me.
Am I not beautiful? My name is Daisey.
If I tell you more about me, you would wonder that what is there worth possessing in the world that I do not already possess."

This is not your usual happy love story. This is a dark story of a girl who seems like a character out of Criminal Minds T.V. series. I cant say I had a smooth ride reading this book because I have never read anything like this nor can I say that it falls in my usual style of reading. This story is a roller coaster ride where you will sometimes feel uneasy, sometimes feel empathizing with the issues raised and also sometimes feel afraid of the heroine.

Vipin Behari is known to write books that are unconventional and somber in their tone. He raises social issues in his stories and his books are serious pieces of work. In this book also he raises questions and gives a book that is meant for mature readers with some explicit content.

His thoughts are well mapped out but his command on the language falls back and some of his phraseology is ambiguous. The main character is very disturbing with her unhealthy obsession with insects and her misplaced moral values. It is fear inducing to even think that there maybe people like her in our society!

Caution is advised while reading this book which may revolt you and disturb you. Definitely not meant for readers below the age of 18 years, I give this unusual love story a 3.5 out of 5.

I received the book from the author to read and review and I am very thankful to him. The above review is honest and unbiased opinion and in no way influenced.

Official Review: Burn me naked by Vipin Behari Goyal

[Following is the official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Burn me naked" by Vipin Behari Goyal.]

Life can be brutal, and the cost of success is sometimes devastatingly high. These are lessons that Daisy, the main character and narrator of Vipin Behari Goyal’s book Burn Me Naked, learns even from early childhood. The book follows Daisy through her childhood and college years and into her marriage and career.

In truth, this is a story about a beautiful, self-confident girl who is inordinately successful. Early on, she learns to manipulate and control people and circumstances. Her world is divided into friends and enemies, and she has no compunctions about exacting revenge on those who have wronged her.

The author uses Daisy’s perception of the world to illustrate larger problems in society. Daisy’s world is cold and manipulative. She attracts followers and admirers, but her “friendships” do not pass from one phase of life to another. In the rare occasions when Daisy permits herself to feel something like real affection for someone, she too often finds herself abandoned, betrayed, and rejected. In such an environment, it becomes less strange that she resolves to use others before they can use her and to brutally punish any who cause her hurt. The author is teaching the readership about the necessity of compassion, lest the whole world decide that Daisy’s way makes more sense in human interactions.

I have two main criticisms of this book. In the first case, the mechanics of the book still need work. There are many grammatical errors and innumerable awkward phrasings that make it plain that the book was either translated or written by a non-native English speaker. There’s nothing wrong with regionalisms, of course, but in places the book becomes difficult to understand. My second criticism is strictly a matter of preference. Very little actually happens in the book. Overall, it strikes me as a more artistic work that shows off how Daisy’s mind affects her reality and visa-versa. While I can appreciate this type of work, unfortunately, I know few others who would.

I give this book two out of four stars. I enjoyed it, but especially since the style of the book limits its appeal to readership, I think it is very important that the author really strives for true excellence in order for the book to be something one could recommend widely. Cleaning up the mechanical errors would be a good start, but for a book of this style, excellence, in my opinion, demands a level of deep profundity that is very rare to discover, even harder to describe, and for many, nearly impossible to create.

Burn me naked reviewed by Online Book Club

"I thought that, overall, the story was very sad. From the beginning, Daisy gets used to the ideas that love is possession (bugs), that she and others are tools that can be used to achieve ends, and that enemies should be punished by revenge. Later, when she finally manages to have lasting relationships with Sam and Zahara and thinks that she finally loves and is loved by her husband and friend, she is betrayed, finds herself inexcusably used to achieve something so paltry as business success, and returns to these ideas once again, seeking an ultimate revenge."

The m/c attraction to insects inspires her, drives her ambition but you should never cross this fascinating woman because she has learnt a few things from these bugs.
