The year is ending and hence time has come to write the pending book reviews for all the books which I gulped in this year. One of the interesting read was Immortals of Meluha by Amish Tripathi.
The book is the first part of the Shiva trilogy written by Amish. It is based on a different interpretation of our mythological stories. The book shows the famous Indian god Shiva, the destroyer of evil in a totally different shade. He is the chief protagonist in the book and shown as a human which his share of faults, imperfection, emotions, and anxieties.
The book is exciting, fictional drama and a kind of perfect potpourri for a filmmaker. The storyline is interesting. The book is punctuated with philosophical thoughts which enlighten readers heart and mind. He has successfully conveyed a message about the necessity of celebration of the diversity in thought, lifestyle, and culture. In addition, he also pushes forward an alternate picture of our much-revered gods like Shiva, Agni or Brihaspati. His entire star-cast is inspired by Indian mythology. Despite the mundaneness of characters, the book keeps you glued to the story and captivate your imagination.
A good read for all the history lovers, drama readers, fictionphiles and mythology believers.
