Review:
The most likable point about the book is its simple language which makes it a huge success.All the Characters communicate in a
language which is spoken and understood by the common people. The writer did not get overwhelmed with the fact that he was writing for
god like legendary figures.The writer did not assume that the legendary characters should have a very animated language. The writer
even used the words like "shit" and "damn it" very often with the character Shiva. Often, when reading this book you may reach into
the feeling of a trancscendental state.The mesmerizing imagination coupled by the beautiful writing creates a divine effect on the
reader.
All the characetrs are created with perfection. Each single piece of page has its own written screenplays which lures the reader
