Hitler's Nepal Connection by Evangel Athial



A Good Effort.....

I was curious to read this book after I received it but because of other priorities had to keep it aside for a couple of days. Looking at the book daily and not reading was a tough task to do and I finally got a chance to keep my hands on it.

I started reading and with the chapters moving on, I was so much attached to the story line that I wanted to finish the book as soon as possible. Strange topics discussed in the book about Hitler, Black Magic, A silent love story in the parallel run, sex description on a mild note......a lot of things to keep the reader stick to 135 pages.

If I have to summarize, I liked the book and efforts of the author. It is a nice piece of work however needed some professional hands to make it perfect.

The book looked like a Syllabus Book to me when I saw it for the first time. But content of the book is nowhere behind a thrilling novel.

ISBN number is missing from the book which clearly shows that it will be difficult for the author to reach the correct and potential audience. The book will not be available in many world class stores as they do not keep books without an ISBN number on it. This book had the potential but have no idea to why was it self-published.

There are some major editing errors evident in the book content. The biggest example I would like to highlight here is the date of birth mentioned in the book, which says that Hitler was born on April 20th, 1929. Now this date is something which cannot be true. I know it would have been a typo error but who so ever edited the book, did not do justice to his job. These small errors questions the authenticity of the information shared in the book.

The normal trend is that book is released as "Fiction" or "Non Fiction" but this book does not give any idea of the category of the book.

I would not like to highlight any other editing errors as there are a lot and it is not to do with the author. It is all about flaws left by the editor of the book. The author has done a remarkable job and the book is a worth read. Reading about Hitler, some of the secrets about him, about his inclination towards black magic, a couple meeting after seven thousand years, having a discussion over an ice covered mountain are just enough to take reader to a different journey all together.
