Thumbs up!
Indeed, the book is quite interesting. People and personalities have always been my favourite subjects and this book has only added to my knowledge. Sultan is surely a Darling Devil.

Congratulations to the Authors for their successful attempt and awaiting another publication.

It was a wonderful experience reading the book ‘I Know Who You Are!’. Just like its name, it gives you an insight into different characters of people around you and automatically encourages you to relate to them in a different way. It makes you think about their qualities which you are taking for granted all your life and helps you to appreciate them and also troubleshoot their weaknesses.

I think the book is very well written and not for a moment your curiosity diminishes till you finish the book.

The family ties are very well portrayed which have become a novelty these days.
Thumbs up to the young authors and all the best to their future ventures.

I found this book very interesting. I must say that it is an amazing blend of fiction and reality. It is a wonderful effort made by the authors to make us understand how different personalities gel together in a society.

The story is very light-hearted and has its share of exciting and gripping moments. The book clearly demonstrates the profound observation, hard work and dedication of the authors in creating such a wonderful story that not only provides the comfort of reading but also
makes us realize how different each individual is.

While reading the book I could actually relate the character skins to people around me. I found this experience quite refreshing as this book made me observe people in a way i never did before.

Finally i would like to like to congratulate the creative authors for this enlightening book and I would definitely recommend it to one and all.

LOOKING FORWARD TO MORE...

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. The concept of the character skins is interesting and by the time you've finished the book you're trying to define eveyone you know by them! The descriptions of the character skins are kept moving by the story that runs throughout. An entertaining book that I think both adults and children alike can enjoy.

I must say it is a very gripping piece of modern literature. The concepts put forward by these young and innovative authors are incredibly unique and capture the mind of the reader. You tend to read and re-read the core lines and concepts as the mystery woven around the characters unfolds.

Exceptional content, sensitivity, deep observation and excellent expression of thought makes this book a great tool for understanding behaviour patterns of people around us. It can be called a fine novel cum handbook. There is a great deal to learn and wonder about. I believe the character skins portrayed in the book are very real. The thought process, behaviour and appearance of all the character skins is so diverse and yet so genuine. This truly exhibits the deep observation and analytical skills of the authors. As you read the book, you tend to say, “Oh! Yes, I know this one; it is so and so in my life...Oh! So now I know!”

Sultan's tale is fascinating. His adventures are incredibly mystical. It was as if I was with him during his exceptional journey, feeling and absorbing every moment. Kept me involved and thinking...TRULY AMAZING!

I, a person who likes to read about business and political biographies or something on current affairs, even for me, this novel I KNOW WHO YOU ARE, was a good read.

A very commendable effort by the authors as of a debut novel.
The best part according to me is the relationship shown between Sultan and his grandfather.

Overall, a well written novel with a touch of reality to see others.
Definitely awaiting more books by the writer duo. Many thanks to them for sending me a special autographed copy.

This book is an astounding analysis of people who live with us and who perhaps need to balance their lives in order to operate effectively in the present times.

Making use of five characters and putting them in a fascinating plot, the authors grab the attention of the readers to think and reflect about the realities of life.

The language mesmerizes as it is highly symbolic and metaphorical. It wouldn't be going too far to say that it has poetic effects at places where the characters are developed and their characteristics exposed. It is exciting to read about 'questions' that are like 'arrows' thrown
at a certain character that doesn't mind being the 'air', which is the medium and, willingly absorbs all the complications that questions carry with them.

The story, I strongly believe, addresses all sects of the modern society, be it social, commercial, educational, psychological or philosophical, the interpretation has to be done by the readers. However, the plot is so light and stirring.

The main plot revolves around a family that is shifting to its new house. During the process of shifting, Sultan, a young boy, finds a diary that belongs to his grandfather. It makes him converse with his grandfather and also reveal the five character skins.

This beautiful story is a 'must read' for all. I cannot end my review without congratulating the two twin sisters who have at this young age shown their extraordinary skills of observing people in this intricate society.

Throughout the book, one keeps fascinated, you read and reflect and reflect and read.
What a charming story!

It's an adventurous story which creates suspense and so many questions on your mind while reading each chapter of the book. The great thing is no question on the reader's mind is left unanswered.

The concept of character skins clears out the confusions in the mind about why people react the way they do and brings out new fresh ways of looking at others. It's definitely all-star book and I assure no reader will be left unsatisfied after completing this book.

It was wonderful to read the book. I liked the idea of knowing people by their character skins and got a chance of observing people around me. It gave me a totally different view to judge people. I was curious to know who is who and enjoyed knowing people I already know in a different way, I know them better now, I feel.

There is a charm in the story which makes you read till the end.
It’s an 'informative fiction', for all age groups.
I truly appreciate the observation of the authors, and thank them for sharing it with everyone.
