Cover and Title
A Book cover which shows an image of a golden bault which is cover with barbed wire ,  which given a person who hasn't read the book  impression of something which is valuable but it is difficult to get it as it is covered with a symbolic barbed wire. The Title of the book "Seduction by Truth" a non reader might think how can someone get seduced by Truth ? Its an interesting title all together.
Theme
The plot revolves around a middle aged man Shiva who is successful in his life, he works in a cooperate MNC , his bold and beautiful wife Akriti. As in perfect marriages Akriti is not the only woman is Shiva's life . There is Sana who is a Personal Secretary to Shiva who ends up in having extra marital affairs. Then there is Zeba who has her own problems with her husband who makes polygamy , just because their religion accepts this concept.. There is Mary a young christian girl from Italy who  has a different view towards marriages and their bondage   Finally Deven who is Shiva's friends who he  shares all his feelings to in the name of revenge towards his wife. So Shiva has something with all these women.

Is these relationship justifiable ,each will have their own view , but I should say the author has done something worth thinking while writing this story line as it usually happens indistinct of everyone , but not every one understands these. 

Language and Narration 
The language used in the book is simple and the narration too I felt is something which the author has taken some sort of pain . There is narration which gives the male point of view giving example of God like Shiva and Parvati and Lord Brihaspati and his wife Tara
What I liked
  • The characterization is commendable. 
  • The way in which human behavior varies is written nicely 
What I didn't  like
  • The end could have been different as it is not just physical love making
