GOD IS A GAMER – RAVI SUBRAMANIAN
Okay..here we go…God
Is a Gamer by Ravi Subramanian. So..I finally finished this bitcoin
thriller from the master author of financial thrillers. This is the first book
I preordered on Flipkart and still I don’t know why I did so. May be because I
had read The Bankster by the same author and liked it.
God Is A Gamer, again is set against the backdrop of an international bank.
The story is spread across India and US. A thriller by the tagline itself, the
author introduces us against all those characters who can be the ultimate
culprit. A murder followed by its investigation, series of other events linked
to the murder taking place in India and US simultaneously, FBI and CBI agents
and the unavoidable factor, the bank – New York International Bank.
The suspense of the story is good,
well packed, not leaving any clues for the readers till the final chapter. The
author has to appreciated for his knowledge and research he had done in
bitcoins – the virtual currency which can be the future. I feel the story
cannot be called a bitcoin thriller just for the fact that its mentioned somewhere
along the storyline. The story would be the same more or less even if the
bitcoins were replaced by normal currency.
To sum up, Ravi Subramanian’s latest
outing with bitcoins, God Is A Gamer falls short of my expectations. Its not a
bad book either. A book that falls in th same genre of all those previous books
by the author, its indeed a ravi Subramanian thriller. I sincerely wish Mr.
Ravi Subramanian leaves his comfort zone and start exploring other backgrounds
other than banks to come up with great thrillers.
My rating : 2.5/5
