Search for the Sacred Gem by Nilima Sinha



Long ago a learned one
spoke of a stone known to none
More valuable than eternal life
Now you must look for it
It every nook and cranny
For the gem will bless your life...

Life seems to have less hope, especially after the Ganga floods and destroys the entire village. But when Shankar bangs his head against a rock with these stange engravings and starts receiving mysterious messages from the Gods...hope comes again. The engravings were composed by an old and wise man long long ago, which lead Shankar and his friends to the sacred gem hidden in a secret location. They meet various people along the way, tackle enemies and bandits, discover new secrets which takes them to the path leading to the enchanted gem...............

I think that the author should have written in much more detail, because it takes 50pgs to understand the message itself. Also, the characters were not described properly, so you have no idea how major people in Shankar's life are. The story seems rushed in some parts, especially the end, and it seemed like the book had to be finished written hurriedly. And ya, since I'm used to reading big novels, reading such parts was very irritating. This book clearly shows the difference in Indian and English authors.......
