Unexpected ending, series, quest, friendship (

LynnMK | Aug 30, 2009 |

This book started out very fast moving and exciting. By the end, however, I was waiting for it to be over. I feel that the book could have easily ended three chapters sooner. I also began getting sick of the Healers "tests". Anand seems to give up his life with his family much too easily. The ending to the book left much to be desired. (

Like most quest-type stories, I was very interested in seeing our hero make it to the end. Although I wouldn't put it in the "great" category, I did enjoy it and read it straight through. I also like the Hindu culture throughout, which was of interest to me. (

I really enjoyed The Conch Bearer. It's a good adventure story, interesting characters, and the Indian setting and themes give it a fresh and original feel compared to the usual medieval/King Arthur-inspired fantasy novels. I'll be interested in whether there will be any sequels. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0689872429, Paperback)

In a dingy shack in the less-than-desirable Indian neighborhood he calls home, twelve-year-old Anand is entrusted with a conch shell that possesses mystical powers. His task is to return the shell to its rightful home many hundreds of miles away. Accompanying him are Nisha, a headstrong but resourceful child of the streets, and a mysterious man of indeterminate age and surprising resources named Abadhyatta. His quest will take him farther from home than he's ever been and will teach him more than he ever imagined -- and it will force him to make a poignant decision that will change him forever.
