Book Review : God is a Gamer
It happens once in a while when you come across a book which is simply written, adequately edited and offers pure pleasure of a new story line! When I received the book from Blog Adda, the first page of the book signed by the author brought a smile to my face with a"Stay Awesome" personalized by a smiley ! I was genuinely pleased with the author's sweet gesture. Thank you Mr. Ravi Subramanian. :)
The book is a refreshing story in 'Mystery/Thriller" genre. The most striking feature of the novel is the style of writing. It is very crisp and straight forward with basic English vocabulary usage. The author has spared the reader from complicated long paragraphs with excruciating details of each characters and sometimes irrelevant information of the surroundings, history, banal things in and around . The author has made sure that the reader gets a story and that's what it is in the book with no exceptions ! I would suggest this one to all the new and aspiring readers.
Another great thing about the book is that it is divided into numerous small chapters , each one extending not more than 2-3 pages long which adds to its simplicity/brevity of the subject.
The story has many protagonists over majorly 2 different countries and expanding over several months in the timeline. The author has managed to grip the attention perfectly and it is really hard to keep the book down once you get engrossed. Regularly, the writer's tactic is to keep going back and forth multiple cities and switch between various characters and sub plots of the story spread across each subsequent chapters. This ensures that the reader entails and tries to connect the dots of the story in his own mind and eventually keep him hooked for more such dots. I would give full credits to the author of having edited the story in such a fashion. The story line is very well crafted with financial backdrop along with gaming and internet/social media/networking web that are beautifully interspersed. Briefly, the novel caters to the youth readers who can connect and are interested in the latest technological advancement happening around the world.
Spoiler Alert !!! The next paragraph might spoil the ending for the yet to read group. Everyone expects a justified ending with all the culprits identified and served :P. But this one offers a twisted end laced with melodrama and the person behind the heist is as free as a bird. Additionally, the author has also tried a moral justification to back the ending and provide an angle of sympathy to the protagonist. I feel the ending has been served correctly per the context and notion of the entire story giving it a believable and humane touch.
All in all, it is a very gripping read not to be missed especially for those who are into a tight script and novel implementation !
