Bollywood bandwagon

This was the name that came to my mind when I thought about writing this blog. If you are a hindi film bluff then you will know what a typical bollywood bandwagon consists of. Especially of yesteryears. Two brothers separated from birth. One ends in rich family the other in a middle class one. They have a common villan. Two beautiful heroines. Through various troubles and triumphs they shine in life even though the villan tries to give a lot of trouble. The villain dies and alls well that ends well. Reading this you will think its a hindi movie plot. And would be wondering whats it doing in a book related blog. Actually its the story of Sons of Fortune by Jeffery Archer in a nutshell. I like jeffery archer novels. His not a penny more and not a penny less will need another post itself to write my appreciation. Compared to his other novels this not up to the mark but neverthless a nice read. Though story is predictable the characters are endearing. I fell in love with Nat. One of the main character. His characterization is superb. More nice than a m and b hero. One thing I did not like about the book was killing of a character. Its just depresses me to see a sad part in an otherwise happy ending book. Even though you will know what happens next you will be engrossed in the book as narrative is good. Perfect for a lazy night reading when you have come from hectic work and want to relax...
