#LITEROMA Book Review :: ‘Whispers of Ruins: Quest for Rama's Dossier’ by Navin Kumar

** Thanks to our reviewer Swapna Peri for reviewing the book on behalf of Literoma. ** Book Title: Whispers of Ruins: Quest for Rama's Dossier Author: Navin Kumar Format: Kindle Book Title: The title of the book ' Whispers of Ruins: Quest for Rama's Dossier ' is quite interesting and Book Cover: The book's cover image is of an old book with rumbles and browned papers held by a person and has a light shedding out from the book. It is quite a magical and attractive cover image. My review: Indian history and Hindu mythology have always been a treasure chest of many untold stories and unknown mysteries. This book is written on similar lines where the plot goes back to the Ramayana times and oscillates between this generation. Every chapter in the book has a twist and mystery hidden. As the story progresses, the thrill element maximizes. This book is a perfect holiday pick, and readers of any age can read the book. Characters: This is where the story is rich in its plot

#LITEROMA Book Review :: ‘Whispers of Ruins: Quest for Rama's Dossier’ by Navin Kumar

 ** Thanks to our reviewer for reviewing the book on behalf of Literoma. ** Seldom you find a book which touches history, mythology and crime fiction simultaneously with equal ease. ‘Whispers of Ruins: Quest for Rama's Dossier’ by Navin Kumar is one such rare example. Since the scenes are set at varied locations, the reader will tend to strike an immediate visualization with the protagonists. Let me tell our first observation here - the very title is so captivating that we could not stop reading it till the end in one shot. Yes, you read it correct. A 300 pager completed over a single night! That tells a lot about the pace, quality of plot and storytelling style of Navin Kumar. Can't disclose much about the storyline here (the blurb on Amazon is good enough), but one thing we must say - Ever since the story starts unfolding, the readers will be embarked on a modern crime fiction plot, tightly rivetted to historic & mythological events. It starts with Chamundi Hill of Southe

#LITEROMA Book Review :: ‘Too Far Gone - A Radha Bose Crime Thriller Novel’ by Chandrayan Gupta

 ** Thanks to our reviewer for reviewing the book on behalf of Literoma. ** The first thing that caught my eyes was the minimalistic cover. Second was not the title, but its tagline - A RADHA BOSE THRILLER. When I picked this book, I did not know who is this Bong lady - Ms. Radha Bose! Because it is my first read from the author's desk. Initially I thought it might be author's pen name, but soon after flipping through the pages I understood who Radha Bose is and Aditya, her second man. She is the lead detective and you may witness her come back soon at another crime scene etched by Chandrayan. Don't expect me to disclose the storyline in my review here, as that will not only spoil your curiosity but also poison the hard efforts of the author. I liked the analogies drawn by author with the attributes of different colours like blue, blood red and black at different parts of the story. Also, the story being written mostly in a narrative (or conversational) style, it seemed qui

#LITEROMA Book Review :: ‘Awakening Consciousness: Awaken Your Inner Power’ by Gandharv PT (Author)

 ** Thanks to our reviewer for reviewing the book on behalf of Literoma. ** Seldom I find a non-fiction book which touches my consciousness and life's philosophy simultaneously. ‘Awakening Consciousness: Awaken Your Inner Power’ by Gandharv PT (Author) is one such rare example. It is a collection of 91 articles on spirituality, sort of a guide to self discovery which took me almost a fortnight to finish reading, before I attempt to write a review.  Rightly pointed our author, this book is a quest of reality, the reason behind the existence of every earthly matter. Each article is built upon a step closer towards our ultimake moksh or awakening. The readers will be embarked on a modern retelling of deep-rooted philosophy.  Other than every thing else, the most important aspect of the book is interior illustrations, done by author's daughter. Editing quality is also on the better side than most of the self-published books. Unfortunately, the book cover did not score much in my ey
