This was a highly recommended book and so I went about reading it. But somehow it has impressed upon me as a very boring book. The initial few chapters were fine, interestingly building up the plot. But then as the book progressed, it became very repetitive, both in the content and style.
Story is based on religion and history, on various cults, on controversies and secretes. On how Jesus Christ was a normal human being, got married, had kids. On how the genealogy continues even till this date. [Not a new theme after Da Vinci Code] This book repeats this Jesus Christ angle till adnaseum. Plus it also has a mix of concepts from Islam and a huge stress on Hinduism’s rebirth belief. Overall it glorifies Indian history and Hinduism and also speaks of oneness of all religions. And intermingled in all this is terrorism, politics and nuclear bomb blast. All that is fine, but the repetitiveness kind of makes the plot lame.
Wonder If I have become too old for such books or the book itself wasn’t all that good.
