I had earlier read Priya Kumar's book "I am another you" by chance and really liked it. I happened to chance upon this book of hers recently. The abstract seemed to indicate that the story borrows from the tragedy of the MH 370 flight which is still to be traced. This did make me a little uncomfortable considering that there is a sense of unease and lack of closure associated with flight MH 370. I did go ahead with the read with my previous experience of her book in mind.

This book does use a flight situation as the background. However, this setting is used as a philosophical setting by some of the passengers to explore their inner most feelings around their loved ones, problems, achievements, and indeed life's meaning itself. The pilot is depressed and is considering ending his life. He accidentally sets off a chain of horrific events on the aircraft. The book is simple and unpretentious - and that is what I liked about it the most. The philosophy borrows from Indian beliefs and some liberties are taken.

For people who have already read more deeper Indian religious and philosophical work, the book does not provide anything very new. However, a flight story and the stress of the passengers and the pilots makes this book different. I certainly recommend it - it is a book with the right messages.

My interest in the book arose when I saw the web-series Final Call which is based on the same.I was expecting an edge of the seat thriller but I am disappointed.Ms.Priya Kumar is a motivational speaker and the way she wrote the book,shows this.Though the story is good but while reading,many a time seems it as if someone is preaching.The character of Muthu is just looking for purpose of life.
Now,this is the basic flaw.I bought the book for the thrill not for soul searching.
Thus,if you are looking for a motivational fiction which has moments of thrill and is not quite well edited,then this one is for you.
Well,just like me,you might get a signed copy as well

The title is what intrigued me to pick up this book. Also this book has been converted into a web series so I was more thrilled to read this.

The story revolves around the passengers of Flight SK502 who were on the verge of going to a new destination - the other world. Robert, the pilot was going to end his life but his one mistake led to the worst tragedy. The story covers the lives of Paul, Muttu, Sarah and Jim who were on their paths to find happiness and peace. But the decision of one person changed the lives of 300 people. Read the book to go on a path of eternity with the evolved souls.

I enjoyed reading the book. The writing style of the author is beautiful. The characters were well developed and felt so real. The best thing about the book was the life lessons which Muttu taught me. The book was full of suspense. The plot is definitely intriguing and well written. The language is easy and understandable. The narration is smooth and the story is well paced.

Definitely recommended!

Flight SL502 takes off on a trip from Dubai to New York. Captain Robert, the pilot is depressed and is determined to commit suicide on the flight. First Officer Tom works with Captain Robert in the cockpit, while Captain Joe rests in the cabin.

Four people from diverse walks of life have boarded the flight of their lifetime. Sarah, an aspiring writer, is returning to New York earlier than scheduled with the intent of catching his boyfriend cheating on her. Jim is a teenage soccer player who also does a fair bit of introspection on life. He is returning early to participate in a soccer game. Paul is a successful businessman, who is not satisfied with his material success. He is searching for answers to some deeper questions on who he really is. Muttu is an astrologer with strong sense of spirituality and thinks he can see the future.

The drama and adventure in the air begins when Tom accidentally drinks half of the cup of poisoned coffee that Robert had originally intended to consume. The flight attendant picks the cup and unintentionally tops it up with fresh coffee and serves it to Captain Joe. This leaves a highly strung and deranged Captain Robert in control of the flight, endangering all the 300 travelers.

Sarah, Jim, Paul and Muttu engage in a series of conversations, introspection and more debate that changes the way they look at life (and death) as they hurtle towards a disaster.

Priya Kumar spins a tale that is action-packed with a rich mix of spirituality that ends up inspiring you without being the lame-chicken-soup-variety! Heart thumping action is cleverly mixed with healthy doses of spirituality without either piece trying to overwhelm the reader. Snip off the spiritual part, I think you will be left with an action thriller. Snip off the action part, I think you will be left with a very readable set of paragraphs on human behavior and spirituality. But the way Priya Kumar has weaved them together, you have a book that is simply awesome!

I wonder, though, how the author chose to spell the name of one of the characters as Muttu. I thought that the most common way of spelling that name is Muthu!

A writer, an astronomer and a teenage boy walks into a plane and well, life happened. Or was it death? Did you expect a joke in here? Well, I guess we’ll have to find the humour in our lives the way Ms. Priya was able to incorporate her great sense of humour in this literary piece which takes us on a flight of a lifetime. Priya Kumar is able to deliver more than what is expected or promised of her books. You truly don’t read them, you live them.

Is it too inappropriate to say that I have a low-key girl crush on her? It’s not just the story but the tone and the words that attract a reader and keep them hooked. A master storyteller, she knows what makes a book a page turner. I WILL GO WITH YOU is so livid and well crafted, I was transported to the row 26 of SL502 and my soul didn’t budge even for a moment.

Her narration feels so personal it’s like she is trying to share her own life experiences, from shopping at Dubai International Airport to having eye-opening conversations with teenagers to her smart take on depression and mental health awareness. It all feels too close to home.

I don’t want to give anything away, since I feel like talking about this book might make me give away the very crux of it and I don’t want to carry on with my life knowing that I ruined such a perfectly written story for people. Let’s just say my view on life and death shifted light years away from where I was earlier.

The entire story felt like a metaphor for life. The plane being our body, the pilots being our mind and the passengers being the soul. We might think that the mind controls the body but the aura and the energies of the soul effects our mind which in turn controls our body.

Review:
1) War PTSD is real and she talks about it. It’s not all roses and champagne for a soldier retiring from a warfront. It takes toll on their mental health and in a way the person just dies a little. They are not the same when they come back.

2) Suicide is never an option. It might look like an easy way out, but your soul will struggle with the decision that your physical form just took. Ms. Priya birthed Robert to teach us a lesson on why suicide is such a bad idea.

3) This book has more twists that a jalebi. The first one was semi predictive which turned out to be something which I was just praying not to happen. Rest of them: I DID NOT SEE THEM COMING.

4) All the characters were well introduced with enough background to help picture them nicely. Not a single detail was left out. Even the supporting ones were given enough page-time.

5) From a mere leak in the ceiling to standing in court filing a divorce! Can you find out how this is connected? (The answer is in this book ;))

6) When the character of Paul was introduced, I might have rolled my eyes, for it seemed pretty clichéd to include an overachieving super-attractive billionaire who has it all in a story based on an airplane, but as the story progressed, Paul was nothing like those shallow billionaires in murder-mystery novels. He is spiritual, guided and couldn’t care less about his achievements.

7) The story was nicely wrapped-up. There was not a single loose end. Each character had a perfect closure. Specially in the case of Jim and Sarah *sniffles*

8) OH MAN THE COVER! Arjun Rampal adds quite a nice touch to my library *wink wink*

9) The ease with which life after death has been discussed gives me fresh perspective about my own life. It might not be the end. It’s the beginning to a whole new eternity.

Title: The Final Call
Author: Priya Kumar
Publisher: Books That Inspire
Pages: 225
Cover: 82/100
Rating: 88/100
Genre: Fiction
Price: 120
Type: Paperback

So I am officially declaring that I am in love with Priya Kumar's work. First "The Wise Man Said" and now "The Final Call". Yes, I know the name of the book is "I will go with you" but I will call it "The Final Call". So let's talk about it.

The Story starts with the passengers in row 26. A lady who is a writer, a kid who falls in love with the lady, an astrologer and later joined by a businessman. But the story is not just about them, its also about the pilot who is insane because of the way life is treating him. He wants to die but in the dilemma that he should die alone or take down all the passengers with him and in all the turmoil in his head, life happens to him and others.

I don't want to ruin the story for anyone so let's talk about the characters and other details.

There aren't many characters in the story which gave an advantage that every character had proper timing and a particular set of traits which writer strictly followed in the whole piece of art. The way each dialogue is framed shows the depth of the situation and human psychology at particular incidents. I personally loved the character of the Indian astrologer. The way he was depicted reminded me of Sammy. He was THE WISE MAN here.

The story is filled with some deep dialogues which are easy to go in the first time but if paid proper attention hid depth of human emotions. The way the concept of Young Soul and Old Soul is depicted in a very subtle way is amazing.

I am no one to recommend but if you go by my recommendation. I do recommend this read.

SUMMARY-
So the captain Robert, a pilot, lost his whole family and is devastated in the loss. He's suicidal and plans on ending his life in the last flight of his life, a trip to New York. But circumstances and fate has other plans for him and a few others. How does this trip end for all of them? Read to find out.
.
.
MY VIEWS-
Ok so this book has been turned into a web series as well. So obviously the storyline is good. The cover is good. The blurb is really intriguing. Unlike some books, the author separated the writings into paragraphs. So you do not feel like running after a fast pace train.
.
.
The narration is very sutble, easy to understand and enjoyable. The characters are well developed. The transitions were smooth and easy. I loved the beginning. But towards the second half it became a bit too much spiritual/philosophical for my personal preferences. But otherwise it was good.
.
.
It was a journey towards closure for the characters and closure was what they got. I liked it but it did feel a bit far stretched. But overall, I liked it enough to recommend.

“I will go with you” is now “The Final call” , a web series. The book cover is series-tie in edition.

Robert, the pilot decides to commit suicide by consuming poison in the airbus while air bound. But unfortunate event takes place which pushes the pilot to take the 300 passengers along with him on the path of death. Will the passengers survive? Will Robert change his mind?

The book is an alternate combination genre of thriller,self help and self healing. It doesn’t fall under the radar of fast paced thriller but slowly engulf your mind with the enlightening fight between fear,consciousness and existence. A page turner not by turns and twists but by the realistic preach.

The characters and characterization is much appreciable. Each characters stood unique and had their piece of contribution for story to evolve. Did each character fulfilled the purpose to their life(story)? Yes, indeed but with detailed and elaborate pages. Towards the end I felt the soul existence was explained with intense words which I felt was bit long and slow and dragging.

The story construction and narration was good and who believes fate would definitely love this book. The intelligent part is that even though the spiritual quotient was high, the inclusion of thriller between the pages helped me to move on with the story. I was really hoping that Muttu’s predication would go wrong with some miracle.

Overall “The Final Call” is a journey to understand what fate and soul is. In one line “It will happen and it happened because it was meant to happen so “NO REGRET” even after you take off.

What if you get to know that the pilot of the flight which you aboard want to commit suicide and that too in the air, endangering every passenger??
Already scared?
But that's the story of The Final Call.
The story is a fast-paced adventure which will keep you seated till the end. And not only this but at various points, this book create such an environment which is panicking and you can feel your heartbeat going faster.
In this book, the author has not only narrated a thriller tale but has also shared some valuable principles of life.
It's always hard to read non-fiction or a self-help book but if they are perfectly blended with some intriguing story then it surely has a commendable impact on its reader and that's what Priya do with her books.
This is my second book by Priya Kumar and again she had left me to think. This time I am asking myself about the purpose of my existence.
Overall it is surely an unputdownable book which has opened the closed windows of my brain.

"Life isn't to be protected. Life is to be lived."

Brutally thrilling and spirituality uplifting, "I Will Go With You" by Priya Kumar welcomes the readers to a suspense filled insightful journey and experience the adventure of a lifetime that will change their perception of life forever.

The lives of 300 passengers on flight SL502 is bound to get jeopardized when the pilot entrusted with their lives loses his mind and chooses to end his life mid-air by committing suicide. None of the passengers have the faintest clue of the danger ahead, though not everyone is unaware of the impending doom. The astrologer in the flight while entertaining his co-passengers with their future predictions suddenly realises that there is something deadly in common with all the predictions. Welcome to row 26 of flight SL502 where four evolved souls are waiting to take the readers through an escapade that will change the way one sees their own life.

Thrilling as it sounds, it's also quite scaring at times with the thought process of Robert, the pilot who wants to kill himself without caring for the hundreds of passengers, contrasting them with the future plans of the passengers, who boarded the flight with an aim but may never get to complete them if Robert succeeds in his savage mission.

The readers can actually feel a turmoil inside them when the story begins but gradually as it progresses they slowly walk towards peace as the spirituality that binds the story manages to grant them the power to be in peace as well.

The book is dedicated to the victims of the missing Malaysian Airlines, not only the ones who boarded the fateful flight MH370 on 8th March 2014 but also the ones whom they left behind in a state of helplessness. Author Priya Kumar flashes their plight in the dedication and dedicates the book to them in the hope that it brings the much needed "closure to their pain.

Human psychology had been deeply explored all through the story with inch by inch analysis of the human mind and the shrewd ways that it works.

Setting the path with several twists and turns, unlocking several mysteries of life and throwing the readers on the lap of several loops, the book hooks one until the last page and then let the questions and the lessons wander in their consciousness long after turning the last page.

The story with all its philosophical insights, psychological analysis and spiritual knowledge compels the readers to contemplate intently looking into their inner-self, re-discovering oneself and learning the unknown truths about oneself to their own surprise.

The book is witness to the fact that although man is the creator of his own destiny yet sometimes their destinies intertwine which makes a good person suffer the ill consequences of a evil person and change our future as a result of what others do in our environment.

The truths and lies of existence manifest time and again coupling itself with bouts of spirituality which serves to refill the soul with much needed solace and the knowledge of the hidden truths which remain camouflaged under the shadows of Maya, forgotten in the run and lost to the material world.

The fast paced unpredictable adventure ride coupled with a unique storyline, doses with spirituality and an effective writing style keeps the readers on the edge of their seats, bitting their nails off in anticipation of what will happen next, and rendering the book unputdownable in the process.

The spiritual contents, psychological concepts and philosophical ideas put down in a simple and lucid manner paves the way for self growth, enriching the soul by peeping deep into the mind. The journey through the book feels almost like a therapy session committed to put a full stop to the inner turmoils, suck out the negativity from the soul and replace it with an optimism that would stay long after they had finished reading.

The story had touched multiple themes and it's remarkably unbelievable as to how a tale which apparently appears to end with the death of everyone can be so filled with life that one can literally live an eternity within a few hours between those few pages.

That said and experienced, it must be warned that the book, with its well-built turbulence, is extraordinary troubling and relaxing at the same time with the power to tear one apart and simultaneously piece them together. It begets multiple emotions, feelings and expressions from fear to hope, from despair to peace, from nervousness to scoff, from frown to smile and, what's more, one never knows when they will be experiencing which emotion.

Fun, humour and laughter too have their roles in the story so as not to make the atmosphere of gloom prevail throughout but they are carefully maintained at a certain limit for the topic is a little serious one.

The book had totally redefined the concept of love and granted it a brighter hue, opening the window of a brand new perception of looking at love in a way that it will always ensure happiness and cancel the chance of getting hurt.

Striking a balance between spirituality and thriller, the book slowly engulfs the mind, enlighten the soul and help one evolve through the breadth-taking journey.

The well-crafted piece of art, which takes the readers on a journey to the end of life and the beginning of a brand new eternity, ends in high spirits bestowing the readers with the power of being at peace with oneself and showering upon them a life-changing perspective that would stay with them forever.

The character sketch is no doubt perfect with the main characters being the four evolved souls on row 26, who takes the readers through their own life and living; and Robert, the pilot in the driver's seat who disturbs and entertains the readers with his own thoughts that juggle between rationality and insanity. Muttuswamy, an astrologer who knows what lies ahead, acts as the spiritual guardian to enlighten the lost souls and be their guiding light towards eternity. Sara, a journalist and an author in making, who goes through a lot of turmoils to come clear of her distractions and finally pen down the last chapter of her book. Jim, a teenager who loves football as well as his own company and appears to possess a maturity which is way beyond his age. Paul, a handsome successful billionaire, who despite having everything still feels empty and is in want of something which money can never buy. They all meet at the flight on row 26 and boom the readers are transferred into their world, sharing their seats and themselves becoming a passenger of the flight travelling with the four evolved souls through the awe-inspiring journey of life.

The meaning of the enticing title "I Will Go With You" is a little difficult to fathom in the beginning, but slowly as the story progresses the true meaning of the phrase begins to surface, surprising the readers with the depth of the promise. The title of the web-series "The Final Call" however has a very straight meaning, symbolizing the final call of eternity which calls back the fellow travellers embarked on their journey of life to return to their real home in its lap.

The captivating cover of the old book had the image of a flying aeroplane, signifying the fateful flight which served as the stage for the suspense-filled drama of life and death. The new attractive cover stars Arjun Rampal who plays the role of the pilot, the master-mind behind the entire plot, in the web-series "The Final Call" whose story is based on this book.

Thrilling with an aura of inspiration, tragic with a pinch of spirituality and scaring with hope sprinkled on it, "I Will Go With You" by Priya Kumar invites the readers to tighten their seatbelts for a goosebumpy rollercoaster ride and enjoy the unforgettable journey of a lifetime.

This book was like Nixon Watergate scandal to people of America. They became skeptic believers in their own elected Government. For me analogy is goodreads website and 4.0 rating for this book.

The story had excellent plot- MH370 is fresh in everyone's mind. I thought the story will be a solace to people who lost their loved ones. But it was not even close.

Lack of creativity- same reason- two pilots down! At least author could have taken a page out of Arthur Hailey's "Flight into Danger".

Too simple: No technical aspects- at one point in the story, the concerned aircraft is referred to as Boeing- oh come on! at least listen to ATC recordings. The level of detail one gives in simple word makes these aircraft novels riveting. Make no mistake- everyone wants to know why there are so many switches in aircraft.

And the astrology- well no comments. I didn't know the genre was fantasy novel- I thought it was thriller.

Enough said in comments about main lady lead.

Only part that looked mildly interesting was Captain's dilemma and that rotten air hostess' change in attitude when flight is in danger.

Overall, it pains me when a story promises a nice premise and later ends up nowhere near what it promised. The closest feeling I ever got was when I read "Coma" by Robin Cook.

This book has a distinct merit that I stopped reading before I finished. It seldom happens with me no matter what the plot, story, etc is.

Author can be appreciated only for trying to write a novel based on incidents and for her preface.

Captain Robert, retired air-force officer is depressed. Nobody will care if he dies alone in his apartment so he plans to die alone in an altitude of 35000 kilometers in the air-bus SL502. Captain Tom and ignorant air-hostess Glenda messes up his plan which marks the end of 300 passengers on-board.

Not always you meet people who finds eternal pleasure in thinking of things that are beyond human control. The passengers of row 26 belongs to that kind. They are evolved souls who are free from the bonds created by human longings. Sarah, Jim, the vibrant Indian Muttu and the successful business man Paul, are the passengers of row 26 who accepts their fate readily. They're encountering death face to face, only to accept it.

Racy, thrilling to death story line with philosophical insights page to page. Must read for all those people who lives with cinematic illusion and refuses to believe that anything can happen to anybody at any-point of life.

I will go with you/ The final call by Priya Kumar
The plot revolves around passengers of row 26 on the Airbus SL502 and their suicidal pilot - Robert. Captain Robert is depressed and has lost his will to live. He plans to end his misery by taking poison. But fate has something else in store for Robert. Will he survive to tell a tale of this fateful flight with the blood of 300 innocent passengers on his hands or will he be successful in ending his misery peacefully?
The plot is fast paced and keeps you guessing. The characters are well developed and relatable. In the beginning I thought the character of Muttu will be the same old stereotypical Indian guy, but as the plot progressed I was proved wrong and he ended up being my favourite character. I liked how the author has mixed spirituality with suspense. The end become a little too spiritually heavy and felt a little preachy to me. Overall a good book to read for your soul if you like the spiritual/suspense/ adventure genre.

I got introduced to PRIYA KUMAR the author in one of the bookstores in the airport, while we both were waiting for a delayed flight. That was many year back. Later I enjoyed reading her book ‘I AM JUST ANOTHER YOU’, so when I saw ‘I WILL GO WITH YOU’ at the CROSSWORD in Oberoi mall, Mumbai, it was natural for me to pick it as my next book to read. I am happy I did that.

The beauty of this particular book is a well-paced story that is really contemporary fiction and dramatic use of life of various characters to deliver the messages. This is definitely a book that I will recommend you must read.

You are in a plane whose one of the pilot decides to die in the plane 35000 above the sea leave, you can feel the terror just by thinking about it right. SL502, 300 passengers, 3 pilots and other plane staff, and one of the pilots decides to die in the plane. Row 26, 4 passengers and having the same Destiny.

I was recently intorduce with priyakumar's books and i am not at all regretting it. Her last book and now this both are like magic her writing style and her way of explaining things. The inspirational thoughts she have and the way she writes it in the fictional way. Its just super awesome. You can't just miss her books you need to read them all specaily THE FINAL CALL

Plotline:
The story begins with Sarah, who was about to miss her flight since she got engrossed in shopping. She couldn’t afford to miss this flight because she doubted her boyfriend Mike and wanted to know for sure whether he was cheating on her or not. She somehow manages to get onto the flight and is seated on 26D.
Jim was happy to be seated next to his new found crush, Sarah. Muttuswamy, on the other hand, seemed extremely nervous for some reason. He had sensed that something very wrong was about to happen.
Paul was seated in the first class cabin. The flight attendant Glenda’s interest in Paul kept him indulged. But he decided to take a walk across the aircraft and encountered the passengers on row 26.
The fate of all the passengers in flight SL502 changes when Captain Robert decides to kill himself, mid air at thirty-five thousand feet above sea level. He was in great turmoil and couldn't decide whether he should die alone at home or along with the 300 passengers.
Will Captain Robert change his decision? Will the ATC and ATS succeed in saving the passengers?

Characters:
⦿ Sarah was a writer. She had already written a book but couldn’t finish it because of lack of motivation. Sarah had been in a relationship with Mike for over a year. But since their relationship was not based on trust, it gave her nothing but pain and restlessness.
⦾ Muttuswamy was an Indian clairvoyant, an astrologer. He was an evolved soul who was not attached to a materialistic life, or even his own body. He was detached from the urge to indulge in the illusion of mortality.
⦿ Jim was a young teenager and a technology freak. He was seventeen, tall and lean. He was returning from his trip to Dubai because of soccer practice.
⦾ Paul was a billionaire and one of the most eligible bachelors in New York. But he did not care about his ‘success’ anymore.
⦿ Glenda and Cathy were the flight attendants of the first class cabin.
⦾ Captain Robert was in his late forties and suicidal. He had quit the U.S Air Force and stepped down from his position of Major because he didn’t want to cause bloodshed anymore. He also lost his family in a car accident.
⦿ Captain Tom was a charming young man. When the captains couldn’t report for duty, he was more than happy to fill in. He felt elated when he was flying.
⦾ Captain Joe was seated in the flight crew resting cabin and had no real interest or passion for his work.

Writing style:
Priya Kumar is a motivational writer. Through this book, she not only gives an insight of the lives of the people who are nearing their death; but also enlightens us about our consciousness, purpose of life, Maya, and the attachment of humans with their materialistic lives.

Language:
The author has beautifully described the journey of every individual character. She has delicately woven the suicidal tendencies of the pilot, the frightful emotions of the passengers and their journey together towards finding their true selves. She has abridged the gap between fiction and reality.

Book cover:
The book I received is an exclusive copy and its cover is extremely charming. The original book cover too is simple yet self-explanatory. It is felicitous as per the story.

Dislikes:
The story was slightly more focused on the motivational content.

Recommend?
I do recommend this book to everyone. It is an almost-perfect blend of fiction and reality.

"No one changes for anyone. We change in accordance to our thinking, to our principles and to our postulates. You can inspire change in another, but you can’t be the cause of it."

This eye-opener thought is from an excellent book "I Will Go with You" which is now a webseries named "The Final Call."

The cover of the book is attractive and clearly gives some idea about the plot of the story.

It relates to the life story of four protagonists that embark on flight SL 502 Dubai – NYC flown by Captain Roger, a very depressed person that made the decision to end his life on board (you’ll have to read the book to find out if he went through with it or not). In row 26, we have Sarah, Jim, Muttuswamy and Paul. Each of them has a different life story and soul. Sarah is a writer that is struggling with her love life; her boyfriend back in NYC isn’t faithful. Jim is a teenage boy  with a surprising maturity and wisdom for his age. Muttuswamy is a famous clairvoyant that see the future (including his own). Paul is very successful business and a billionaire that doesn’t get any fulfillment from any of his accomplishment. By discovering them, their fears, their doubts, their hope, we also enter in our own soul searching. The series of events happening during the flight will project into the now and make them face their own mortality. The story helps the reader to think (for the least) about those questions that linger in our consciousness.

It is a perfect combo of thriller and spirituality. From beginning to end it creates suspenses, gives some valuable lessons & inspires at some places to go in quest of answers.
By focusing on different personalities that can relate to us, Priya succeeds in transmitting a much deeper message. The ending is beautiful and very spiritual.
the author shows us that being attached to materials, relationships, past or even an idea of who we are, is the main reason for our unhappiness and somehow our alienation with our true self.I also realized through this book that our time is counted here and we should focus on the things that make us happy and fulfills us now rather than tomorrow. So living in the present is also a big message in this book.  Finally, I think this story teaches the reader to trust their instinct, their intuition. We all have an inner compass (intuition) that tells us when something is wrong but very often we choose to ignore it.

• Language of the book is simple and lucid.

• Plot of the book is wonderful.

• The story is wonderfully paced.

• There is something inspiring for everyone in this book.

Overall I enjoyed it.

Title: I Will Go with You
Author: Priya Kumar
Format: Paperback/ Kindle Edition available too
Length: 225 pages
Publisher: Books That Inspire
Synopsis:
What happens when a pilot entrusted with the lives of hundreds of passengers loses his mind and decides that "life is not worth it" and chooses to end his life, taking all the passengers and crew with him? The 300 passengers boarding the flight SL502 from Dubai to New York believe like the rest of us, that flying is the safest mode of travel. They haven't the faintest clue that the pilot in the drivers seat has decided to end his life mid-air by committing suicide. Well not every passenger is unaware of impending danger. There is in the flight an astrologer humouring his fellow passengers with some predictions when he realizes that there is something deadly in common with all these predictions.................. Come aboard a suspense filled drama of life and death woven by master storyteller Priya Kumar as she takes you on a ride that you will never forget.
Review:
The book at first took time to catch my attention. However, a few pages into the book, the things completely feel in place. The storyline is very well conceptualized. Totally all characters in the book, be it major or the minor characters are very well written. They have their own unique and vital role to play in the story. This is my second book by the author and I am totally loving the amalgamation of various themes and perspectives that the author tries to put forth in each of her book. A unique characteristic about this book and the story according to me was the “pull” it has. The story after one point literally pulls you inside it as if you were experiencing the story first hand. A praise worth mentioning about the characters is that no two characters are the same yet each of their interactions and their way of carrying themselves, as portrayed by the author is really praiseworthy.
The book is a shift from cliched and common stories. A story backdrop that tickles your curiosity as keeps you hooked to the book till the end. I felt that the ending was not up to the standard that the earlier storyline had set up. Nevertheless, it was not a total put off either. The language, flow and the characterization are some of the aspects for which you should be picking this book up for a read. The book is also made in a Zee5 web series where the protagonist is played by the hunk Arjun Rampal. So, before you visually see it make sure you’ve read it.

Firstly, I thank the author for giving me the opportunity to read yet another phenomenal work of fiction.

Priya Kumar comes with yet another riveting story, this time it's contemplation of life & death.m and the will to live. I Will Go with You is the amalgamation of suspense, thrill, and life in one work of fiction.

One thing I really love about the author's writing is how ideas pertaining to life proliferate throughout her work in a fluidlike manner. Her professional realm coalesce with the writer within in order to bring forth a story of living life to the fullest. Every paragraph of I Will Go with You includes a detailed analysis of the character's emotions and connecting out with universal experience. No matter how diverse her characters are, you will always spot that point of similarity between you and one a particular character from the cast. Indeed, the characterisation is quite good, as well as the structure of the book. Every movement and situation is tied with a universal experience, and that's what makes the story furthermore intriguing. Not many of us frequent to airports, but the sudden rush of adrenaline experienced by the characters will definitely pour into you as well.
However, I did feel a tiny glitch in the plot. The descriptions of trivial characters often occupy a greater bandwidth than the character in focus. I term them "trivial characters" because they don't necessarily stand as characters who decide the turns in the story.

Yet, one thing that touched me the most about I Will Go with You is how it contemplates on philosophical questions and ideas in a simple, lucid manner. It will unanimously acknowledged by many that this book presents notions pertaining to life & living it in abundance, unlike most works of fiction. Some spill out such concepts with the help of characters or situations. However, these ideAs constitute as a separate entity in I Will Go with You. They seem to require no medium to be communicated or understood. These ideas almost seem like the air we breathe; as abundant and as essential to the book, as much as air is to us. I am overwhelmed to have come across such a beautiful philosophical read. I convey my best wishes to the author for her future endeavours.

I will go with you is the story of many lives intertwined together. It starts with a final call for Sarah to board the flight and ends with the freedom of their souls. This book tells us how the karma of people around you also affect your life, which is something very different, hard to accept but very true. Sarah runs to her fate when her flight is about to be missed but her beauty and charm or let's say Destiny brings her on the flight. Jim a co-passenger of Sarah is a 17 year old boy who is quite mature for his age and is attracted towards Sarah. Muttuswamy another of Sarah's co-passenger is a clairvoyant, an astrologer. Paul a passenger aboard the same flight is one of those people whose life seems to be straight out of a Hollywood film. But the wealthier he got the sadder he felt. And this is the reason he gets a vibe from muttu and sits besides him. Amidst the conversation mattu tells paul that Sarah has only few hours to live and so does Paul. While all this is going on, there is something else that is stirring the controls of the plane. Robert a restless and Disturbed spirit wants to end his life and has planned it all out. Things go wrong when his co-pilot Tom becomes a hurdle towards his goal. Will the 3000 passengers succumb to Muttu's prediction of death? Or is there a different fate that awaits them all?


The language of the book is very beautiful. It seems to flow without any obstruction. It is easy to read but quite difficult to comprehend.
The plot of the book is one of a kind .
The narration is achieved in an applauded manner. The story goes on with the same pace. The reader will not get bored.
The characters all do justice to their roles are strong enough to make an impact on the reader independently.
The cover of the book could have been more creative as it looks a bit pale.
The title of the book couldn't have been better.
I love the ending of the book and was a completely different person by its end.
There are many messages in the book which makes this book very interesting because you get life lessons while reading it.

Did you ever ask yourself "what exactly I am doing here? In this universe? What is the exact purpose that making me feel alive ?" What ,if you feel your mind is answering with " nothing!" What will you do then? I am scared if I feel anyday that there is no single purpose left for me to alive more. Salute to author Priya Kumar for this worthy lesson of life from the story!

CHARACTERS:

The book has multiple characters . Captain Robert, jim, muttu(astrologer), sarah and so on. Every character has perfect depth in the story and real importance indeed. All characters consist special zest like muttu as a astrologer he knew the flight will not be landed. Paul is a business man, instead of his success he is empty from heart and happiness. And so on.

BLURB WITHOUT SPOILER:

35000 feet up in the air , one of pilot have decided to die!! Aren't you shivering? But I am!

Captain Robert , lost his family (wife and two daughters) was disoriented for every nightmare. He was an ex airforce officer. Somehow he understood his soloness is responsible for this trauma of his mind. He struggled with his mind and heart badly how should he die! Is it with 300 passengers in plane or is it alone? Read the book to know how the last fullstop was ended.

BOOKREVIEW:

Undoubtedly the story is amzing & its beyond from mind. I was so scared when reading i felt like even I am a passenger of the same flight. Its a thriller with goosebump in every second. I am stunned about author's thinking level.

I am lucky enough to get the exclusive cover. Its a portrait of Arjun Rampal. Wow thats amazing & eye-catching.

I must appreciate author's writing style thats really perfect . Some new words are there i have found. I love the story lines.


The book consists some lessons like karma, maya . I second with that.
Plot is unique . All characters are well defined.


Overall an mindblowng reading. I am waiting for her next book. Highly recommended for fiction and thriller lovers
