Review

If a name could mislead someone, then Kamasutra class would be one. When the name gives an impression of a mere erotic drama, the book apparently deals with a lot of issues at different levels.


Anurag is falsely accused of sexual harassment by his female colleague. Heartbroken due to unjust practices and the planning and plotting, he quits his job. Life takes him to Santiago where he finds himself in a different culture and makes a lot of friends. Somehow he gets tagged as a love God for the power that he has in inciting sexual pleasure through acupressure. How he gains acceptance in a different country through an indigenous technique is the crux of the story.


Surprisingly, contrary to the name of the book, there are not graphic description of love making in the book, which itself is the USP of the book. Had the title be different, the book could have more appeal to the audience. The pace of the story is fluctuating but the interest that is generated in the audience is persisting. The style of narration is good and the characters are crafted well.


The subplots that come in between made the whole plot tad bit dragging and hence could have been avoided. Overall the book is an interesting read and a well edited book, that could have a better audience reach had the title be different.

Verdict

Good read
