This Frist time that I finished a book within 2 days it was so good.defnatly a worth readI really liked the last chapter.i looking forward for next book

This was my first book and I enjoyed reading it thoroughly. The details are soo deep that you can't escape visualising the picture in your eyes.

A great trilogy from India, mixing fiction and mythology. The book was very engaging,the characters bold and a total delight to the readers,the storyline makes the book unputdownable. For anyone interested in starting a good series pick this one.

The book and print is good u can go for it but its not original tho

This book is insane you guysIt's written so well i mean i can't express the beauty of this book with my wordsThis book is must have and if you are beginner so you should try this book and amish writing(book writter) is like unbelive i really mean to itAbout this book....This book is all about shiva fantasy and about his life and also living style in meluha and more,once you started to read this book you couldn't stop yourself this book is more of a story telling sight so easy to read it has total 26 chapter but each and every chapter has their own impact thjs book is basically about mythology

Didn’t even read it end got bored

Every emotion n scene beautifully explained !!! Unable to explain more! Just have to read, imagine and feel the character.

The first part of a trilogy based on Shiva, one of Hinduism's most important gods. Except that in the story he isn't a god, he's just a bloke, who pitches up in India from the far side of the Himalayas. He turns out to have a blue throat, which is very significant as apparently there is a prophecy about the Neelkanth - someone with a blue throat saving the world. Unless I dozed through it, we never actually hear the prophecy.It drags a bit - yeah, yeah, he has a blue throat, get on with it. There's a pretty girl involved but no naughtiness, just a bit of Bollywood dancing. The author doesn't describe stuff which is familiar to him, because he knows it - which leaves this outsider scratching his head and wondering what is going on. Sure, it's fiction, but I'm not very keen. There are tedious chunks of philosophy scattered about. Every now and then the translator leaves a hindi word untranslated - angvastram, anyone? Trishul? - which is just irritating.My test in these things is whether I would buy the next book in the series. No I wouldn't

This is a really fun book. Amish clearly knows his Hindu/Indian history, tradtions and philosophy. He combines them well to tell a gripping fast paced story of how Shiva in the form of a man, idylically lliving in the Himalays is convinced to help rescue of the Meluhans living in the Indus-Saraswati plains of 4000 years ago. Phrophesised as the "Neelkanth", he reluctantly takes on his destiny and embarks on an adventure across the geography of ancient India.The story is peopled by characters and places that many who are conversant with the traiditons of India will be well aware of. The use of Hindu philosphical ideas, and of Sanskrit names and phrases is delicately woven into the story with clear expanation of the context.A good read! Looking forward to the others in the trilogy!

A friend recommended I read the trilogy. I bought book1 as a used item and it truely was near new !!The book itself is fantastic .. its written really well and as a result I've so enjoyed reading it. Am now on book 2 and already ordered book 3 ... also a used item .

well i really liked this book. India affected Britain in as many ways as Britain did India and its a welcome change to read a story based around the myths (religion dharma) of India. Shiva is an endeaing character, as is Sita and the weaving of the tapestry around the civili\ations of the people of the land of 7 rivers was the foundation of a great story Arc.. started reading at midnight last night and just finishing it now. Now i have to go buy the other 2!

What a simple and erudite way of explaining concepts and presenting a whole new viewpoint , one that has inspired quite a few interesting discussions within my own friends and family circle. Thank you Amish ... lovely trilogy.
