Review of Adam, Eve And The Apple : Story by Priyajit Ghosh in Love; A Sweet Poison 2

Story:

The day I read this story, I was moved by its theme and my heart selected it for the anthology immediately. This is the story of an Apple tree planted by Adam and Eve. On the very day of their marriage anniversary  when it bears its first apple, a devil plays a dirty game and tries to spoil everything by conspiring to kill them. The tree feels, observes and tries to save them. Whether the tree succeeds in saving the lives of Adam and Eve, read this compelling heart touching story by Priyajit Ghosh.

Merits:
The way the feelings of a tree for Adam, Eve and their son George has been described is commendable. You get mesmerized when you read that tree also loves them as its parents and brother and its pain for them due to the premonition it has about the ill designs of the devil and how helpless it feels in saving their lives. Wonderful! Keep it up with more such different and offbeat stories. The literary world needs a writer like you.

Demerits:
I don't remember if there're any. Yes, a few readers will find a tad difficult to understand the gist of the story in first go. Nothing more.

Quotes I liked:

"That's perhaps the ultimate aim of life - to give back more lives in return."

"Maybe that's what happens when your every bit of soul is happy - you see the world through your soul."

Ratings :
Story: 5/5
Language: 4/5
Literature: 4/5
Overall : 4.5/5

Best of luck and all the best for future.
