So talking about the updates of my life and what I have been doing. Recently I started with a full time job and I do not get time to read books at all. So after a long long time I completed this book which also talks about updates of people’s life. Yes I recently completed a memoir.

Sentenced by Andrew Hawke and Victoria Oak is a memoir or should I say documentation of letters exchanged between two people living in different corners of the world yet connected emotionally. The narrative encounters both the lives to a life span of more than 14 years.

It is obvious that memoir is a documentation of something happened in real life, but SENTENCED flows like its a total fiction and coming from a author’s imaginary world. Starting with the introduction of Andy and Vicky till the end of the book the story is flowing such smoothly and as a reader I could understand all the emotions and conditions the people are in.

When the introduction of Andrew Hawke starts and he explains why he did commit that crime, the language was such that I could feel what he meant by the circumstances.

I am not explaining a lot about the plot because these are conversations and I believe one can understand it only when they try to read it. So recommending it to everyone who wants to get into memoir reading.

Lastly talking about the cover and overall design, everything fits apt to the story and this is why loved to have it.
