Prizes : Book Review

1241048

Its been long since I read a book, So I am determined to get back to my reading habit. Which other author I could think of, Erich Segal this time disappointed me, not much but a little. Though this novel is not upto the level of other novels by erich segal, I still enjoyed reading. This book is about the Nobel Prize and follows the process and the lives of mainly three characters.

 

THREE EXTRAORDINARY LIVES,
THREE EXTRAORDINARY STORIES....

 

Adam Coopersmith, Sandy Raven and Isabel De Costa ,with these three characters in the centre erich segal paints a powerful and moving saga where they compete for the ultimate glory: the Nobel prize.  It projects scientists exactly the way they are – who dedicated their lives to the cure of one disease, given up most of the pleasures of social lives to solitude of their labs. They go through affairs, marriages, divorces and childbirths - but live their life for only one dream – science !

 

There are some important quotes as well..

 

‘Behind every Nobel prize, there is a saga – of betrayal, sacrifice and hard work’.

‘Aim for the stars. If anyone can do this, only you can !!’

 

Read this book if you have no other master piece to read. Not such a bad book, but not stuffy or overwhelming.
