I like books set in India because it is in my bucket list of places to visit. Great review.

Latest Review: Creating Literary Stories: A Fiction Writer's Guide by William H. Coles

Post by dragonet07 »

I enjoy supernatural thrillers and even the fictionalization (including modernizing) of religious elements, such as Christian angels and demons. I’m also intrigued by the Indian setting. However, I have reservations regarding the portrayal of India, its culture, and its people, particularly regarding its two most prominent religions, Hinduism and Islam. The Occidental lens, focus on evangelism, and use of an Islamic terrorist group in the story make me concerned about accurate and broad representation. I also don’t like starting with the second book in a series, so if I were to read this, I’d have to read the other book first. Thank you for the helpful review.

Looks like an interesting book. The author has captured the culture in India albeit from an occidental view point. The book has well developed characters and a plot. Readers will marvel the author's vivid description. Congrats on BOTD!!

Nice review! I like the fact that the book is fast-paced and that the characters were well developed. It's always fun to get to read about the perspective of other cultures.

This is a well-supported review given that you have explained why you gave it a perfect rating. Indeed, it seems like an enjoyable book with heavy themes of justice and civilization, and culture. I always enjoy books in which characters have been sufficiently described or shown to the reader.

A story about life in colorful India. Very interesting to read although there are radical problems too. Hope this review describes the actual content of the book. Interesting review.

I'm intrigued by the setting of this book, but that's just it. Maybe there'll be more to desire when I've sampled the book.
Congratulations, BOTD.

The culture and tradition of India, as described in the book, seem interesting. Every character is instrumental to the story. That's how the author made this engaging writing.

This is an intriguing action-packed novel. The plot takes the reader into the near future and the exoticism of modern India. It is the second book in the Global Calling series, but it can be read as a standalone novel. Thanks for the great review.

This book looks intriguing. It's rare to find a story of faith and the war between good and evil. And it looks like I can see India that the author wrote about. Hmm, definitely a book that we shouldn't missed. Thanks for this.

An thought provoking book "The Tiger’s Eye: Angels in Mumbai" leads the reader into the near future and the exoticism of modern India looks quite appealing to read. The promotion of evangelism and its conflict with a tradition raised to the level of extremism looks very interesting topic.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

The plot and the main theme of the book is not appealing to me and I cannot add it to my list. I thank you for your review.
