The Immortals of Meluha - Amish (2010)

010A definite page turner as there is not much of substance in it. A book of fantasy using some of India's mythological characters and tries to portray a bunch of standard philosphical concepts into a Mahenjadaro, Harappa structure. The level of conceptual research is lacking nor any originality. Someone actually conceived a "Lord of the Rings" trilogy without the depth but definitely for the Indian audience there will be an interesting movie around this trilogy.

If you have not read the book, I will suggest to hold on. You may watch the movie and need not read the book.

Recommended if you have no other interesting book in your bookshelf to read.
