Good story line and narration. Your science and spiritual knowledge is reflected in the novel. Sprinkle of humour in every chapter kept it very interesting to read. Good job considering it to be the first attempt in fiction .

4.0 out of 5 stars Believable and Realistic!!
Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2020

Joish, in his debut novel, God is Great, has described the amalgamation of Science, Spirituality, and Love, with a fictional twist to it so that readers relish as well as include themselves in the process. The elucidation has you thinking and makes you develop your reasoning. This book is brief yet eloquent. It's a well-made book to get a new outlook on Science and God, a quest that's been open for a long time.

This book doesn't try to quickly get your faith in the Divine Entity. The writer himself challenged the presence of the Divine being and all the rites that Indians obey. Though not an atheist, initially, he found all the sacred rituals to be illogical. Only when an elite scientist confirmed his belief in Vedic Puranas and how science was an extension of the Puranas when he commenced his own analysis in this domain.

I think the book cover could have been a little pleasanter. The grammatical and structural mistakes need to be heeded in the following version. Even though this work is about science, after a limit, it became so much that I had to jump some sections as I couldn't understand it. So the non-science readers might find it a little tedious. The addition of images in the book was a fabulous idea, not sure if it was needed.

Overall, a prominent commencement for the debutant novelist for his distinctive piece of work. I would suggest it to everyone as it's a short book you'll read it in no time. My favorite quote in the book, 'We always see one side of the coin. Never did we turn the coin and see the other side of it. We have been missing the core essence, though it is all around us.' Kudos to Joish, great going!

5.0 out of 5 stars Apt and crisp answers to your spiritual questions!
Reviewed in India on March 7, 2021

The book; God is great is a short and very moving account of how spirituality can drive your life on a better path. It's a short read and very crisp and to the point book. The thing I liked the most about it is the way it smoothly blends fiction in reality. Madhav; a research scientist who gets a marvellous revelation of his greater self. His questions are intriguing and the way he paves his way to the answers kept me hooked. I would like to recommend this book to everyone who's seeking answers to some spiritual questions!

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting story with a fluctuating narration
Reviewed in India on October 20, 2020

This is the story of a young scientist named Madhav and his journey to find answers to his questions on faith and spirituality. He is shown to be a person who doesn’t believe in God and is very logical in nature. But this journey to find the deeper meaning under the theory of God and faith, changes his life for better.

This book starts out with an interesting encounter of Madhav with a famous scientist named Dr. Pence who instills the seed of curiosity in him to find the scientific reasons behind common rituals and tales from Indian culture and scriptures. Dr. Pence narrates an anecdote from an Indian scripture where a King goes to Brahmaloka (Lord Brahma’s abode) to wish for a suitable groom for his daughter. But Lord Brahma laughs by saying that a few hours in Brahmaloka is equivalent to centuries on Earth and all the prospective grooms named by the King must have died. On a glance, this may seem to be a really illogical story but if correlated with science we see that it complies with Einstein’s Theory of Relativity.

In this book, many such stories and their scientific correlation are mentioned. The main message of this book is not to disregard our culture and faith as mere tales, but, rather imbibe the deeper meanings imparted from them. It shows how our education system fails to inculcate the idea of proper learning. How we indeed grow up ignoring whatever is taught by our elders or choose not to read and learn from our scriptures because “they aren’t in our syllabus”. This sad reality is highlighted in the book and will compel its readers to change for better just like the protagonist.

The only flaw with this book was the sudden change in narration every now and then because of which the attention span while reading the book considerably decreases. The personal matters and the love life of Madhav seemed very irrelevant to the storyline especially in the second-half and felt as if its main purpose is to stretch the story unnecessarily.

Overall some of the chapters are highly impactful and I am sure they will remain in my heart forever. I would recommend this book to only those who are somewhat passionate about science since a lot of scientific theories and terminologies are mentioned here, which may be difficult to understand if one doesn’t have any prior knowledge. Though, the author has put in a lot of effort to make it as inclusive as possible and suitable for wider audience, but, I would recommend it to only those who have some scientific knowledge beforehand.

Contents of the book "God is Great " are beautifully knit, thoroughly discussed and displayed. It comprises many thought-provoking ideas /messages which could be brought into action at any point of time in one's life. Certain inferences from Sri Bhagavatha Purana and Upanishads have been drawn to illustrate. It is a beautiful amalgamation of Science, Spirituality, Human society, Love and Religion which are inter-related that maintains proper balance through out.The story has depicted
a beautiful message inclusive of spirituality,beliefs,value of life,love and friendship. The author's command over the language has been awesome and commendable. The book gives a very good message to the Public in general and Society in particular. It is a well-deserved maiden venture. Looking forward from Dr Upendra to pen-down still better contribution in his next venture.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worthwhile

Absolutely worthwhile and meaningful.
Faith, Spirituality and God - they mean different to everyone (not the definition, of course, but the importance of these words).
For me, my faith has a huge role in whatever I do. It keeps me calm, gives me hope.

This is the story of a scientist, who identifies himself as an atheist when the story begins and later on goes on a journey of spirituality and self realisation. He observes and grasps various happenings from his daily life. This story about the enlightenment of a scientist on God, Faith and Spirituality is an interesting read. The content was especially appealing to me.

It's a short read of 90 pages but the vast topic of the relationship between Science and Spirituality, an atheist's spiritual awakening based on practical observation and logical explanation of various sacred rituals and rules, not only made this book a wonderful read but also helped me understand the deeper meaning of these rules and rituals and I got to learn some amusing facts.
