Shiva Trilogy – Book Review

SUBMITTED BY: Meenakshy Shyam, 10B (Shift 1)

TITLE OF THE BOOK: Shiva trilogy ( all three books)
AUTHOR: Amish
PUBLISHER: Westland Publications Ltd

BOOK REVIEW: Shiva trilogy is a set of three books, which deals with hindu mythological facts in a more convincing way. Like as if lord shiva was also a human like us. And then we saw his divine power and unbelievable god -like essence and started calling him the Almighty. It deals with a variety of incidents from the past. The book itself gives us a feeling as if nothing’s impossible and we only have to find the good in ourselves and should keep motivating ourselves. I came to this book by accident and ended up Loving it. It also deals with a lot of unwanted customs and beliefs that we apply in the name of god and actually do injustice , being banished by the lord only. They are very thoughtful and deep books , that actually gives yougsters like me curiousity about India’s ancient culture and civilizations.

COMMENT: I love it. These 3 books have created an immense curiousity of India’s culture, heritage, and past in me who used to hate reading books which digged more into the past . It also made me realise that nothing’s impossible . We just have to think we are.
