The Rozabal Line

The Rozabal Line started off with a lot of promise ... definitely not to be a classic, but at least a thrilling page-turner.

Okay, so we have an Indian Dan Brown, an ingenious conspiracy theory and a heavy dose of Incredible India. The quick movement from one time period to the other made the narrative jerky and irritating, and the overdose of "Mera Bharat Mahaan" made an otherwise cool plot a chore to finish reading.

It is not an easy book to read. It does not have a simple plot which can be explained to somebody without confusing them OR without giving them a feeling that this novel is a 'khichdi'/ hotch-potch of several formulae for successful best-selling chartbuster novels.
