4.0

Rose's Who's Who When Everyone Is Someone Else gives you a glimpse of fiction in its truest sense. It is both witty and mysterious and will keep you entertained throughout.

The plot takes us through one particular adventure in the life of an Unnamed professor, who has been invited to an unnamed city in Eastern Europe to give a series of lectures on 10 books that have been forgotten over time and deserve more attention. These 10 fictional books engulf us into the world of literary fiction, each book from a different genre and promising a different sort of adventure.

On the other hand, the professor who had initially invited our protagonist is nowhere to be found. A mystery that needs unraveling. While our protagonist walks through the city trying to absorb the society and the culture, he also faces a world where no question has a straight answer, and he is eventually left alone to figure it all out.

The characters are complex, with behavior as strange as it can get (not in a creepy way at all), and the writing is fairly simple. The language kept me hooked and It feels like visiting multiple worlds and authors in the same book. (well, that's how it's supposed to be).

Who's Who When Everyone Is Someone Else gets interesting with every page and there's humor at every curb. The theme is definitely a novel one and would capture your attention too.
