Well, some say the week starts on Sunday, so I am
starting the week with a feature. Today’s feature is a special one because I
have actually read this book! I liked it a lot and the most important is that
after I read it, it was in my mind for a while. It made me think about life and
relationships and that’s what makes a book special. Even though it wasn’t the
kind I would easily choose, I recommend you to read it because it is a different book and really worth reading. So, I am in the happy place to present you…HOOK!
Here is what you need to know.
Book description:
Shortly before he dies, an elderly enlightened Teacher
in India finds a way to leave his body and remain suspended in a dimension
somewhere between life and death. Only Rahul, his loyal student, knows about
the Teacher's plans, as the dying man gives him instructions for the future
before leaving his body. Meanwhile, Konstantinos, a successful 35-year-old
bachelor and owner of a software company, finds himself in the middle of the
Teacher's grand plan without realizing it. His life is radically changed, along
with that of the woman he loves and everyone else around them, as they all
become involved in something so huge, it could positively alter the course of
humanity.
You can find Hook on Amazon both in Kindle and
Paperback format and on Goodreads.
Here are some very interesting reviews/comments from Amazon
customers.
“Hook is a complete joy to read...There is a pleasant
mix of reality, fantasy, mystery, love and humor that makes you read it in just
one night (as I did. I couldn't put it down!). I cannot wait to read his next
one!!”
“I had things to do today, but couldn't put this down!”
“What an enjoyable read. It has been a long time since
I read a book HOOK which left me with such a positive feeling at the end. It
has everything, love, humor, global warming and the CIA. A plot that
continually thickens and once it gets going you cannot put it down.”
“LOVED this book!!! Superbly written and very
enjoyable, I look forward to another book by this author! A MUST read!!!!!!
This story reminded me of Dan Brown's DaVinci Code.”
“Who does making the world a better place, much less
saving all of humanity, not concern? The plot of "Hook" attempts just
that with a mix of spirituality, intellect and humor in its arsenal. The fact
that it is Nicolas Tsamis' first attempt at writing a novel, and not even his
day job at that, is a noble enough effort by any stretch of the
imagination...and stretch the imagination it does with the self-titled talking
parrot as one of its main protagonists and conspirators. Overall it is a
nimble, relevant and engaging read from start to finish which you wish it never
would. Fortunately, I am told, there is a sequel...”
Now, let’s learn a few things about the author, Nicolas Tsamis.
Nicolas Tsamis was born and raised in Athens, Greece. He
works as a freelance program analyst while also writing. "Hook" is
his first published novel, awarded as "Novel of the year 2011" in
Greece.
