My Review
The story
introduces to protagonist of the story Sa & Sa (Sachin and Santosh). The
book is a very quick read and introduces you to the corporate world and how one
strives in this world. The book has chapters as weeks which differentiate the
job of a tester from one day to another and how a tester does his job. It goes
on to describe the hiring process and what the interview asks to the candidate and
how one should reply to the questions.
The author
has tried to put some humour to the story by describing some moments comically.
What I liked
about the book that it was a quick read but I felt as if it is a story for
school children who want to find out what happens in the corporate world. And I
seriously think that the cover page isn’t related to the story that it
describes, it gives a different idea about the book whereas the contents are
very different from the cover page. It did take away my interest in reading the
book and the book isn’t for adults.
I will rate this
book 2 star based on the humour and quick read.
