Thoughts on Amish Tripathi Books
The beauty of Amish Tripathi books is it gives the mythical characters a life. He convinces his readers that these characters are not mere imagination but they are a whole living being with flesh and bones like you and me.
Simplification of mythology is the differentiating factor for Amish Tripathi books. The intertwining of the Vedic story and the author’s imagination makes his books more intriguing to the audience.
Though sometimes, connecting to the character named and set in a similar scenario as of the epics, might be a task for readers.
Amish Tripathi, also known as the Dan Brown of India, makes sure that the philosophies and the myths he is talking about in his books are conveyed to his readers. It’s altogether a different task to narrate a story which has been told long ago, in a way that it hooks your reader.
