Ponniyin Selvan

I have wanted to read Ponniyin Selvan for a long time now, but never got a chance. I started reading it on my trip to London and I fell in love - with the book, with Vallavarayan Vanthiadevan - the central character around which the story revolves. I told S~ if I had met VV before I met you, your chances would have been very slim ;-)

A true master piece - war-romance-politics-travel-kings-queens-spies-soldiers-plots-all packed in one.
I was wondering why no one made a movie out of this. But may be it is because no one can give life to those words. The movie can never be comparable to the book.

I need to finish the entire series- been reading like mad - I am heading to the car now - and Ponniyin Selvan, here I come :-)

Hi RT,
First time here.
I have wanted to read Ponniyin Selvan too for a long time. In fact I bought the whole series from Landmark when I was in India last time, but had to leave them back due to weight constraints. :--(. Now after reading this, I really have to get to it somehow.
 
@saranya, - welcome!. Hope u get a chance to read PS:-)_
