Of Prophecies and Secrets

For all of you wondering what the title means,just wanted to clarify it is not yet-another-attempt of sharing my spiritual gyan, but rather about the books i had read last week. Simoquin prophecies and Maticore'secret- by Samit Basu. Obviously fantasy, but by an indian author. This made things more interesting and provoked me to get both of these books.

Justifiably both of them turned out to be excellent reads. There isn't anything new here, the same withches, wizards from harry potter, dark lord from LOTR, trance duel from Matrix (movie yes)..yet somehow the theme was original. Samit had made full utilization of almost all the characters (fictious) we had encountered so far, and the best part is the snide remarks to some of them. The book is so hilarious and filled with so many references which at times make you forget what you have read 10 pages before. Atleast thats wat happened to me.. Strongly suggest people to read them.

I know that the above post is a useless junk, but didnot want to take yet-another-break just after saying Am back.. So plz bear with me :).
