Brutal

Brutal starts off very promising but loses the charm after the first few pages. It becomes extremely predictable, repetitive and down right boring for a thriller.
It has plot points of Kingsman and a cast that frankly come off as painfully cocky and unreal. The characters are shallow and lousy, falling into stereotypes. The dialogues feel lazy and forced. The whole of second half is trying to hard to be something it isn't.
I appreciate the effort that Uday is put and the book is okayish for a first time author but it really should have undergone atleast three more cycles of editing. It couldn't keep up the hype it created and died down a slow painful death. The plot was flying out of control, a bizarre mix of Bollywood mainstream spy thriller meets a forced international arms dealing angle. The main component of the story lacked serious conviction. I read this in one sitting primarily because I wanted to get done with it.
