Reviews

[Thom Swennes · Rating 2 out of 5]

Life is hard……even in Utopia! This is my introduction to free Kindle editions. It is a magical mystery tour through the Planet Superior, a planet outside of our solar system but well inbounds of our galaxy. Indrashish, an Indian singer, is mysteriously transported to this unknown realm. This new world is populated by scientists and seems to lack anything but art and the capacity to enjoy and create it for its sake. Indrashish is taken on a tour by Ken and Aloke, two fellow Earthlings. They explain to him (to the best of their limited ability) the ways of Superior; advantages and disadvantages. Their advanced health care system may interest many Americans with doubts about Obama Care. They need art (in all its forms) to stimulate their thought capacities but lack the emotion to either create it themselves or enjoy it for its own sake. The all important question looms like the swinging pendulum in the pit. Those who fail the test are doused with the sap of a purple flower and like the bright light in Men in Black, erased of all memories and sent back to Earth. The premise of science fiction is to expand the reader’s mind and open it up to new ideas or alter the way one perceives the world around him. Unfortunately this book accomplishes none of the above, leaving it in a literary limbo. This may appear as a very negative review but that is not quite true as I see a hidden potential that hasn’t yet matured. I would readily read other works by this aspiring author.
