Prague Raja has written a delightful allegory of a man who has everything but just isn't satisfied. When he goes after what he desires, unexpected changes occur. Sir Christopher Louis, Sham, and all the other characters, both major and minor, are believable and suit this tale of affluent foolishness well. The author gently guides the reader through allegory. This style allows the reader to come to their own conclusions. Raja's writing style is quite suitable for telling this story. The plot flows smoothly to the end and will leave readers with smiles upon their faces as Sir Louis finds that money doesn't always buy what is desired.
