The GameWorld triolgy

I just love books. And fantasy, dragons, elves, fairies always fascinated me. Always! .. maybe it cause of the Enid Blyton effect. I ‘ve read so many of her works when I was a kid that I thought fairies actually existed. Believed it with all my heart that one day when I was old enough that one would come knockin on my window ( the fact that there wasn’t a window in my room was trivial ) like in the book – The Magic Faraway Tree – and take me to those wonderful lands. Why am I babbling about fairies etc? Cause, I read a book. (WOW! You might say. Can you do that? ) a book that I enjoyed so much, that I had to share it with others. The book is Samit basu’s gameworld trilogy.( though technically its two book I’ve read and the third isn’t out yet.) He’s great. He’s awesome. So much so that I want to marry him (kidding! But if you are. Samit Basu,Call me! My no is………) anyway, back to the book.. its brilliant.. a complex interweaving of mythology of all cultures( ok I confess! I got that of the back of the book.). It’s a well written spoof that surprisingly has a story of its own- beautifully written.(I wrote THAT on my own). Well, It’s hilarious, its entertaining, its thoroughly enjoyable. All in all a great book. A must read for people who appreciate good books or just want to have a good laugh. It’s a true stress buster with its Gods, dragons, Vamanas, Rakshas, pashans . Read!
