This is one of the books that fomented one’s love for
reading, appreciating books from a very young age. This was recommended text in
early days in secondary school. Even now, one recollects strongly that this was
an absorbing read, inducing excitement and fear, tapering to a breath-taking
conclusion. The mystery of the “burning star”, one realized at the end, was
some sort of trick, capable of a simple explanation. But it was the atmosphere
of youthful zest, excitement and adventure that lingered. Are modern youth of
today still weaned on such books, gripping reading, that encourages one to
relish reading? Has social media worsened things, or made them better? Do the
youth still treasure authentic reading of books? I wonder.
