As the title suggests, "Dhruv- Love Story of an Alchemist" is a love story of the title character, Dhruv. Karan Verma, the author, gave this simple title and surprises the readers with the number of themes and different aspects that he covers as they go on to flip through the pages. On the surface, the book may appear to be a love story but the other themes that it includes are family, forgiveness, destiny, hardwork, importance of having dreams and the power of love and what it can make a person do.
The finely paced novel has different events that touch different emotional nerves of the reader and they can not wait to know what will happen next. With well developed characters, the author kind of gives the control to them and they appear to speak for themselves instead of being wooden puppets and the author having the strings. The cover of the book to a certain extent gives an idea about the book and the usage of two similar yet different colors perhaps implies the changing states of life. "Dhruv" can be read by everyone and equally enjoyed by all. Keeping in mind the length of the book, it becomes a perfect weekend read for all.
