Book Review: Aqson Level 1 by Sreejib







My only question for the Author at this point: How many books are you going to write in this series?  (And can you complete the whole series quickly please?)

Aqson is a refreshing read. Its fantasy, mythology, sci-fi - all mixed up together to create a gourmet dish to be relished. 

The author had my complete attention when the novel began with a jeans-n-Tshirt clad 'Lucifer' riding a bike to a meeting place where he flirts with the receptionist (and is reprimanded) before we are introduced to a similarly jeans-n-Tshirt clad 'God.


 


This meeting is presided by a few gentlemen, and the minutes of the meeting being taken by none other than Brahma. Lucifer is given the permission to initiate another game with God; with an ultimate objective of installing their player as the Prime Minister of India. 




This had my attention. 

What got me hooked to the book was the refreshing writing style which resonated well with the 20-yr old young-adult characters in the book and showed their life as it should be rather than as adults imagine it to be. 

A great cast of well defined and gradually refined characters sets the stage for an engaging novel. 

A little bit of suspense thrown in at different intervals of the story covering different characters keeps you guessing and maintains the edge-of-the-seat as well as nail-biting feeling alive all through the book. 

Its a fabulous start to a promising series ... 

Few books that I have read have been so captivating all through from start to finish ...

I would highly recommend ...

Mumbai Local - First Class v/s Second Class

Image
    It is an old joke that the difference in the first class and second class of the Mumbai local trains is that people in first class use deodorants and hence you are exempted from the smelly underarms while travelling. The mute point being; both class of travel experience a passenger overload during the peak hours and you are almost equally squeezed and pushed around in both. Of course, the seats in First Class are cushioned (unlike the hard seats of second class) but then that would make a difference only if you get to sit (which would be a likely probability only if you get into the train from the station it originates). My father holds a first class pass from Churchgate to Andheri (since past 7 years, ever since we moved to Andheri). He often travels by Second class in the evening. Strange, isn't it? This is why he does it … In the First class, there is an unwritten rule that on the seat, only the designated number of people (which is 3) will sit. No sq...

Tongue Twister - V for Vendetta

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V." - V for Vendetta
