The Giniralla Conspiracy ; Five Journals of Sujatha Mallika
The story unveils the atrocity of ragging in local universities and the reason behind it. It reveals how intensely students are involved in politics in these institutions. It discloses a conspiracy organised by university students that is so complex, bloody, brutal, grand and unimaginable that might have occurred in Sri Lanka.
An after-thought- Once the truth of the brutality of ragging and political interference at universities filters away, you're left with the bare story and well, it doesn't really cut it as a great novel.
One, I was a bit disappointed at the way the story ended. It just seemed a bit anticlimactic.
Two, the coincidences where she meets the school boy who harassed her on the bus again at the supermarket years later and the boy who had a crush on her being part of the movement/ her torturer, is a bit inconceivable.
The story has a lot of potential. I don't think Nihal has made it what it could've been.
But overall, yes. It's good in it's way of shedding light on the ragging, corruption and politics in universities.
Cover Gushing Worthiness: The image on my cover is this one , but when I typed in the isbn number of my copy of The Giniralla Conspiracy this edition appeared with no cover. No matter though, I'll still gush about the cover anyways!I really like the cover of The Giniralla Conspiracy. From the way the girl in the cover is crouched down, you could tell that something terrible is going to happen. The significance of her position becomes apparent as the story goes on.Review: What youre talking

It gave me hope of a thriller and ended up as a Sydney Sheldon.
