Review - Faith and The Beloved

Faith makes you do things that look unreasonable yet act like a balm to your injuries. Now, coupled with sound conviction over something, faith resorts to things that blinds your vision where wrong things look right and vice-versa. It is then you act and put your faith into action.

There are many characters in the book. Each one of them has been given proper space to grow. Also, their background has been well crafted. Like the author's previous book, there is a parallel story going on in this as well. It somehow reminded me of the Movie 'Ludo', where you can't miss a single detail as it becomes confusing to connect the dots at the end. It is a fast-paced mystery-thriller book, and I enjoyed knowing how certain events turned out to be. Though, some incidents are there which are heinous and disgusting. You might not want to move further past those, but given the things that happen, in India, I cannot rule them out. People who are hardcore feminist might have a problem with these events. Hence, this book is for 15+ persons who will understand the consequences of what is happening.

You will witness many takes to the story, and it is going to take you some time to get accustomed to the characters, but once you do, it becomes easy. The author has done detailed research on events that is displayed in his story. Read it if you want to read something fast-paced.

I would like to thank the author for the book.

Rating - 3.5/5

Genre - Crime Thriller, Mystery, Suspense

Book Review - Poison Dream by Kitty Cook

It is the sequel to Sleeping Together. In the previous book, the story was more focused on Vanessa and Altan. Here you get to see more of Pete. Things take a different turn every now and then, and you always pray for your favourite character to win. The best part I found about this book is how every character is flawed, but there is more to them. You will judge them based on what they do but when you are having your weak moments. One can grant you some exceptions, as not everyone can be graceful. Yes, terrible mistakes can be made, but later how you look at it is most important. You don’t have to hate a person just because they did you wrong, at the same time you can’t like them either. You land somewhere between where you accept the fact and move on without being bitter about it. I liked and disliked many things about these characters, and they represent someone you know in real life. So, it isn’t hard to get to them. It’s a book about love and to what extent you can go for the peop...

Review - Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte

  I don’t know what to make of this book as it left me with so many things to think about regarding the scenarios/situations I read. Also, if it falls into the romance genre, I can only find revenge and desperation to prove the other person wrong. The book is tricky as it has a story within a story. But after some time, it becomes easy to identify one from another, and it doesn’t feel like a chore. I found it hard to understand what is going on at the beginning.  Also, the gothic parts were very few and were not scary at all. They added little to the story; I feel. I felt something would come out of it, but found nothing. There are two main characters, Heathcliff and Catherine, and both were just okay. I didn’t like Heathcliff at all. His traits were brutal and harsh. Despite that, I was always looking forward to what he is up to next. On the other hand, Catherine is too sweet and gullible (not the Catherine you are thinking about, though). The book has a theme of love, frie...

Review - A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara

This is a larger-than-life kind of book. Where you trade between one character to another or one story to another seamlessly. You don't even feel the need to go back to the other end. You enjoy what is presented to you. Well! At times you despise it too. As per my understanding, the story revolves around three main themes - Relationships, Abuse/Trauma, and Depression. You can find some ideas or opinions interchangeably in these. Character names - Jude, Willem, JB, Malcom, Andy, Harold, Julia and Richard Depression If you have ever read anything Depression, then you just know the tip of the iceberg. This book takes you down on a deeper level and shows you what is underneath the iceberg. Now, you might not be ready for it but it has been shoved at your face. You have to have it despite its uneasiness. I took a break from time to time to grasp the story in a much better way. A person can excel in his career but the ghosts of the past won't let you live in peace. Some incidents are...
