Blurb:
Becoming God creates a fictional world of freedom where one can make anything possible by believing in oneself.
The story revolves around the protagonist, Parnog, a sales professional.
Things change when Parnog is drawn into a strange world and realizes he is no ordinary human being but an extension of the creators of our galaxy. He was created for a purpose—to save the world from negative forces. He is one of seven people selected to do this. However, he is the only one aware of the purpose.
Parnog learns about life, people, relationships, and things about himself during the journey. He makes new friends with people from the alien world and earth. Will Parnog find the other six people? Will he be able to become GOD? Will he succeed in what he wishes to?
Every choice you make makes you either strong or weak, but even weakness teaches you how to build again. Humans were never weak, it was a choice they made, and they made a negative one.
Do you think the choice you make next will get you something? Choose wisely.

My thoughts:
I had some really high expectations from this book though the cover looks pretty and the blurb makes you wanting for more. The book highlights a very beautiful concept There is God within all of us.
There are a lot of changes required. There is no flow in the book everything is thrown out at spurts which is sure not delightful for readers.
The protagonist Pranog a sales professional seems pretty clueless at some points. His quest on finding answers for love, I feel that the event don’t really match up at some point he is on earth and the next chapter he is on some alien planet.
Though there is a lot of scope of improvement and with better editing it would turn out to be a great book. There are some amazing quotes which proves that the writer has a lot of potential with the right guidance and inspiration there would be a better book next time.
Writing style:
The writing style sure could be way better. The narrative seems very revealing which takes away the fun of reading. The punctuation and grammar has a huge scope of improvement and would be better. The words used are okayish but would be better. There are a lot of sections where it seems as if it were directly translated from Hindi to English which not necessarily bad but it puts off the reading experience. If these things can be fixed it could be a great book.
