Review of Wings of Courage

Title : Wings of Courage


Author : Sanjay Kumar





Blurb : You must act! Your dreams may look unachievable, but giving up without trying is cowardice. It is against evolution, for evolution is not the result of endless worries, thoughts or discussions. Evolution is in action.”
In those words, Saksham finds courage to step beyond his self-imposed ineptitude and begin a new life.
This is the story of Saksham, a bright young man, and his quest for a more humane world. On his journey, he meets a wise philosopher who helps him unravel the complexities of today’s civilized human world, and a young beautiful woman who rekindles his passion for life. Their belief in him empowers Saksham to launch an attack against organized evil.
As Saksham marches forward, he must choose between the comfort of his love and courage to follow his dreams. If he chooses the latter, he will need to adopt brutal ways to counter raw powers of evil. And… there will be no going back.
‘Wings of Courage’ is a moving tale of passion and courage, for without them, our dreams may never come true.

My View : 

The story is based on the socio-political theme. The clear title and the precise blurb already suggest about the insights of the book but the thick book has a lot more to reveal. The cover of the book looks good and the man in the cover must be the protagonist Saksham whose introduction is mentioned in the blurb.


Saksham belongs to a rich family. He has everything to fulfill his needs; despite this he starts to work with an NGO for the welfare of needy person and hides his real identity. Author sketches the social cause through the help of protagonist’s life who in his life gleans the courage to erase the social evils and help the needy people.


The writing style is simple providing an easy reading track. The articulation of sentences is attractive making the reading journey interesting. The description of places and incidents are also done attractively; the episodes are beautifully portrayed by the author. A smooth narration is done in the book. A neat characterization is done by the author which doesn’t seems confusing. It is clearly visible that author has done a fine research of political aspects to showcase it in his book without any hitch. Author has also mentioned some real incident’s in his book which are sketched very nicely.


The pace of the story is slow and thus detaching me over and over again. Eventhough author has covered so many aspects of human life and society but still the book lacks the magnetic effect. The ingredients (love, anger, betrayal, corruption etc.) that book holds are very touchy for sure but at some point they are not carved gracefully.


Worthy Read! A good book to address the various facets of society and politics.
