Book Title: What Next?
Author: Santhosh Gangadharan
Format: Paperback

Book Title:
The title of the book ' What Next? ' is quite mysterious.

Book Cover:
The cover image of the book is an embossed picture of two men performing the art of ' Kalaripayattu ' with a map in the background, an old treasure chest and a finely engraved knife. This vaguely tells that the story is set up during olden times.

Plot:
The plot of the book is a unique one. The story is set up in the medieval ages of the lands of Oman, Saudi Arabia. The author focuses on a typical ritual of these lands where the dead are buried in a heightened place with a belief that they attain peace fast. In the midst of this story, there also comes the mission to the Moon, Chandrayaan, where the astronauts are from the 15th century. Somewhere I felt the author wants to make it clear that ignorance prevails along with the intelligence since the age of start of the invention of the wheel.

The end of the story is very abstract and this is one of the favorite things I like in the book.

What I like:
1. The setup of the story in various ages chronologically
2. A perfect mixture of medieval ages, present and future is found in the story
3. The story divided into chapters creates a thirst to know what's in the next chapter.

What I didn't like:
The story is a nice read and hence I found nothing to dislike.

Characters:
All the characters in the story are plotted well.

Narration:
An interesting is found in the story. The concept of time travel definitely is attractive.

Language & Grammar:
A fine usage of grammar and the English language is found.

My Final Verdict:
An interesting read.
