While Mr Ramesh Mittal of LiFi Publications, said, “355 Days is not just a crime fiction but also a spiritual read. It's very rare to find a book that brings together crime and spirituality and Salim's book does exactly that. While spirituality isn't the main centre of the book, the purpose of the soul finds a significant place in the novel.”
