Sud's novel - 65 Lakh Heist

It is always good to read well written blogs by people you know. And when they go on to write a novel, albeit a translated one, I'm very happy. Now I start thinking, probably probably, he might include my name in thank you section in his next novel. For what you may ask? Of course for nothing.

Sudarshan has stepped into the Indian English literary world with a translation work. 65 Lakh heist, originally written in Hindi by Surender Mohan Pathak, is a page turner. From first page to last page it keeps you in the edge. Uncharacteristically I finished it one sitting, which speaks a lot about the novel. The translation is simple, straight forward and no playing around with words (my type of novel).

For people who have read the original this novel may not be such a attractive proposition, but for people who have not this is a sure shot read.

People who read his blogs will surely miss the kind of humor he brings in, in this novel. But that is to be expected as it is a literal translation and improvisation/changes is not possible.

As a ending note, Sud fantastic job. And all the very best for your future novels. And do not forget to thank me ;).
