Summary
‘The spiritual path is not a solo
endeavor. In fact, the very notion of a self who is trying to free him/
herself is a delusion.’ ~ Tara Brach
A wholesome package of thrill,
suspense and nerve-wrecking climax, is what ‘The Seventh Cup’ offers the reader.
The story revolves around Avinash, the protagonist, who is head over heels in
love with Verona, the Swiss student. But getting love in return is not a piece
of cake. Avinash is exposed to the harsh truth- the truth that breaks his
heart. Verona’s boyfriend, Kevin, is the one who turns the tables. But then
Verona goes missing. Amidst the search operation, many secrets are revealed and
the labyrinth of life is solved. Will the mystery be solved? If yes, how? If no,
why not?

My opinion
With the advancement in the field of
technology, the techniques are also evolving. With this book, the author introduces
us to a new term- ‘Mind Transportation’. The narration is lucid; the dialogs are
short but precise. There are no major syntactical errors.
The blurb is interesting. In fact, the
language and the vocabulary used for the same is exemplary. The use of idioms
caught my attention! The cover could have been better. The title is catchy. It
gives an impression of a fantasy tale. But the plot might turn out to be a bolt
from the blue because the genre is not fantasy.
However, the whole approach of mind
transportation and has been dealt with intelligence. This is not a clichéd love
story. But this story has a lot to cater to the greedy minds of the readers.
Right from chapter 0 till the last page, every chapter ends on a cliffhanger.
However, I wished the narration was
more powerful. For an instance, the first few chapters lacked the use of
pronouns. The repeated use of names sounded mind-numbing. Secondly, there are
grammatical errors- specifically tenses and punctuation. Other than this, the
layout, font (style, size) and the print quality are fine.
Nonetheless, good effort by the
author. Best wishes!
