Vandhargal Venrargal [tamil] - Madhan

I have delibrately included this book in this review section purely for its brilliance and natural story telling.Madhan, the author has taken the most happening history in the world and the most intense one in INDIA.The Conquor and Rule of the MOGHULS in INDIA.Every story has its hero/in and its own share of disaster and glory.The first chapter is a clear example of shear brutality shown by the Afgan invaders.The Man from Afgan, TAIMUR starts the book with blood and bodies and the book travels thro triumph, betrayal, embracement, extreme rage, vengence etc. If you are intrested in INDIAN heritage and INDIAN history, This is a must read.Even if you dont know tamil , rent a man and get it translated.I'll bet that its worth it.The narrative or the technique used by the author in this is an absolute beauty.He puts you in the scene.Once you finish it you will have the satisfaction of having lived with the giants like Akbar, Babar, Aurangzib , Mohd. Ghori, Mohd. Gazini etc. Hats Off to Madhan.

Angels And Demons - Dan Brown

Another block buster from Dan Brown.This gets predictable in the middle but still the neck-breaking pace compnsates.The AMBIGRAMS are extrordinarily beautiful.That can be seen from the cover of the book to your left.The artist bags all the credit.The time line in the novel is short which explains th epace of the novel.This surely makes Robert Langdon a household name.The very concept of ANTIMATTER is dealt with extreme brilliance.The author has done a lot of homework and he gives us a lot of information.The CERn research facility and the colision tube make the reader live in 26th century.
