The story is very interesting in the beginning, 25 pages, when the village is depicted as a haunted. Later, the village turned out to be some kind of mental rehab with no explanation on how the guru is able to bring order in group of psychos just like that. May be this kind of story was in public's choice in some anachronism but not any more. Why would any reader care to read 3 to 4 paragraphs that describes how was the wind different compared to some other day. Immediately after reading 4 paragraphs about the wind here comes 20 lines each describing the sunset, grass, tea... The story doesn't move at all...Pages after pages, chapters after chapters, desperately reading in a hope that something interesting might turn up. After reading about three quarters, finally I gave up. Judging from its popularity, there must be a good ending in the last 20 pages, but if the book cannot keep the reader keep reading, it's not worth it.

Glad I garbed this book somehow. I used to think that great scientists we hear about everyday are born genius. This book helped me realize that all their findings and achievements are actually accumulations and modification on copious experiments from centuries. Excited to know that Maxwell had habit of relating phenomenon like electricity and magnetism with mechanics. He used to represent fields as strings and divergences as moving beads on the strings and curls as vibrations on these beads. Such practice helped him to come up with equations and pioneer electromagnetism almost half century before electron was discovered. I find the first few chapters regarding Pythagoras and Newton a little boring though. But in overall awesome. Must read if you are a physics or maths lover. Euler is my best genius from now onwards.
