Description During Books Coinman: An Untold Conspiracy
Bewitched, captivated and mesmerized by the beauty of it! Seriously.
Well, to begin with :
My assumptions before reading the book :
It is a mystery and thriller novel with the detective named Coinman (similar to James Bond, Detective Gopichand etc. ). He is going to solve crimes, murders and cases never seen solved before! Criminals will shiver hearing just his name! He is the God of the city!!!
The cover itself shows that some bigger racket is going on under police's nose but Coinman will be ultimate and overshadow all the detectives born before!
Hail Coinman!!!
Reality:
I've no words in my mind to tell you how superb Coinman is!!
One thing you should know, it is NOT a mystery book, it is MORE than this!
Other than being honest, a cry baby, obedient, having TOO-much-good-to-everyone attitude and no-friends-at-all-man, his only major, visible and AUDIBLE characteristic is, that the protagonist, Coinman loves the sound of coin jingling!!
That's it!
That's very much it!
And if you are thinking, like I did, that how can someone come up with a story about this good-for-nothing guy! How can a story even exist about this useless person!!
Then, you are SO SO wrong, mi amigo!!
Pawan Mishra has nailed it!
Not only he speaks eloquently to readers about the adventurous, unique and honest world of Coinman with vividness and genius intensity but also he makes you feel that you see a Coinman everyday in your office, bus stops and streets until you, yourself become a Coinman!
Everyone in his office is one way or other familiar to you. They are people who love to gossip and that's their life! Hukum, Panna, Sevak, Shimla, Imli, Keshar and Andar, Bandar, Chandar! Tell me, how are you to resist laughing when you have characters with these names!?!
Ratiram's "Coin" was ultimate of all of them!!
Like all my other reviews, I'll tell you where I had to put down the book and laugh for a really long time! For me, it was when Coinman's wife, Imli, thinks, (yes, thinks) that "I'm a stranger!"
(Read the book, come back to this line and you'll know why!)
Verdict: this is THE book, my friend.
P.S. I would have written much more, but it's time for my coin-jingling session! Coinman's addiction, you see! Be Specific About Books In Favor Of Coinman: An Untold Conspiracy

This story is a modern day parable. Coinman, Mishras protagonist, is often hapless, frequently pathetic, and always likeable. His seemingly harmless compulsion to finger the coins in his pocket leads to chaos at work (hes singled out, harassed and brutally bullied by his colleagues), and theres trouble in his marriage (he is henpecked and abused by his ridiculously self-centered wife). The Coinmans troubles take place in India and the prose reflects an Indian sensibility and cadence. If theits massively twisted and coiled First of all a huge thanks to the author for providing me with a copy of the book to read and Kavita Ramesh for recommending me to the author though i am sure after reading this he wouldn't be too happy about it :( and you probably would want to hide to save yourself from the wrath of the author and let me know where you plan to hide so that i can join you as well. :P I admit that the book is a lot different and definitely stands unique from its contemporaries
I received an audible copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for a fair review.Actual rating: 3.5Coinman: An Untold Conspiracy is beautifully written and the story is nothing like what I've encountered before. The story revolves around a man with OCD who likes to jingle coins in his pocket, so his coworkers nickname him Coinman. The group of people he works with constantly gossip about him, spread rumors, mock him and pull pranks on him... basically bullying him. Coinman doesn't have
Refreshingly unique, humorous, and honest!As someone who is predominantly drawn to the YA/NA/Fantasy/Paranormal/Sci-Fi genres, reading literary fiction was indeed a departure from the norm. With that said, I found the underlying dynamics of Coinman: An Untold Conspiracy to be a rather accurate satirical representation of contemporary life. Although I am neither terribly familiar with office politics, nor with living in India, I found Coinman to be a highly relevant tale concerned with addressing
Thanks to the author for allowing me to review his book!This one is a fairly difficult book to review, because while certain elements were dong very well, the book didn't stay within the lines of how it began, how it progressed, or how it ended. It started out as a pretty funny Milton-like office satire, with tons of details that really showed us how horrible the corporate world is in bright and shiny satire.The way the Coinman was shown to us, I was frankly expecting this to turn into a fantasy
Thrilled. Bewitched, captivated and mesmerized by the beauty of it! Seriously. Well, to begin with :My assumptions before reading the book : It is a mystery and thriller novel with the detective named Coinman (similar to James Bond, Detective Gopichand etc. ).

You can never imagine what human minds are capable of!Thoroughly enjoyed it!You hardly expect any book to be as enchanting as this.Let me tell you, the characters are super duper simple, real-life ones and extremely likable. Coinman is a person you meet or see in a day to day life. He sits with you. He talks to you and you don't behave well with him. Yes, he's that tragic person. What it's like to hear his story? You better find it out reading it. Why Coinman? Couldn't the author come up with
