I hardly find time to read books these days but some how managed to read these three books written by Mohan Raj Madawala. These four books are written in Sinhala. The language, writing style, storyline are quite unexpected, bold and beyond the accepted norms.
I began reading from 'Adaraneeya Victoria', then 'Loveena' and 'Magam soliya' before reading the critic reviews book, 'Thrimana kiyaweemak'. My reading order is not same as the publishing order, the three books are not a series or related to each other. However, the first publication was 'Magam soliya', then 'Loveena' and the latest is 'Adaraneeya Victoria'. The critic reviews book has been composed by another three contributors with the extracted comments from the Facebook.
These three books contain three different flavors and story lines. The similarities between each other are; Every book based on an historical event but still a fiction (I think to make the story sound more realistic and develop the reader's curiosity he has used this trick), The most influencing characters are women (seduction evangelists), comprises erotic literature.
Even though I read these three books recently, the books were published in 2012, 2013 and 2014. Honestly , I discouraged myself to invest on these books after listening to other readers' suggestions and comments. If you have children, specially the immature teenagers.. I strongly recommend you to hide these books. The content may confuse someone at the door of adolescence. So that, until they reach the stage of identifying the difference between Black and White, please hide the books. To enjoy and understand these type of stories, an individual needs to have a developed , controlled mind and wit!
Out of the three books, 'Adaraneeya Victoria' is the most successful compilation. 'Loveena' is better than 'Magam soliya' but 'Magam soliya' is a kind of a mental twirl and screw up your sanity if you don't pause a little to breath!
