Second chance is a suspense thriller, fantasy and contemporary fiction. The books comes under various genres yet does not fit completely into any. The storyline is substantial and interesting. In current scenario, we can come across numerous Sekhar Kapoors who give no priority to emotions and relations. The book can be an eye opener to many since the mistakes Sekhar did could be committed by most of the readers, atleast one if not all. While Sekhar faces trial, readers would be forced to think what if I too had to face the same. The punishments mentioned in the book could not be considered as unique since same terms we have seen in movies. The plot has a lot of possibilities but a round of developmental edit and proofreading is to be done. The narration is good but somewhere down the line sounded amateurish. The book could have been a moral lesson for the teenagers if not for the expletives that were lavishly used throughout the book.
Overall the book is an interesting and easy read with a lucid plot in need of a round of editing.
