A very interesting take on a very familiar story. At times, I felt like the author is forcing himself to rationalise and find scientific explanations for the strange parts of the tale. Uhh… I think a little fantasy and exaggeration is fine; not everything needs to be explained away. I understand that the charm of the author’s books are in part due to the casual, modern speech employed by the characters, but when ancient Indian mythological Gods start saying “touché”…. I’m baffled and shocked. Nonetheless, a great read!
