Review:
Ann always thought of herself to be a simple physics
student even though she could sense the aura of a person walking past her; she
believed she was just another student. Imagine the surprise when she finds
herself entangled with four others who claim her to be the missing piece of
their puzzle. Ann is the last link which connects the five of them to represent
five elements. Moreover, the elements together have to save their city from
five vices. Read on to find yourself engrossed in 5 Elements V/s 5 Vices the
ultimate battle.
What Works!
The story and writing style are the heartbeats of
‘The Last Link.’ This unique book conceptualises and blends science with
spirituality to give very varied scenarios and managed to set a bizarre notion.
The ultimate war of the good and evil is portrayed in rare fashioned mixing the
concepts of science and sacred from Greek, Chinese and Indian cultures.
What
does not:
It takes a while before you get the hang of all the
characters, their names, traits and how they relate to the story. However, once
you know who is who, the story will fall into place by itself. The book starts
with a slow pace and ends abruptly; the battle (which is the one thing the
reader builds upon right from the blurb) in last few pages may have been more
descriptive adding cores to allow the readers to visualise it to more
perfection.
To
read or not to read:
If you are into science fiction flicks, then this is
the ‘go to’ book for you. Anyone having interest in science, physics and the
connections of these to the world as we know it today will find this book to be
an exciting read. With 72 pages of fine words, this can be your book to relax
by at the poolside or on a long train journey.
