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

Review - The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse by Charlie Mackesy

There are moments when you just want to ask questions and sit beside your friend. You want someone to answer them for you even if you know the answers yourselves. When the answers come from someone you are close to, they look much easier to deal with than before. They make more sense whenever you fail to convince yourself. Such is the magic of good friends and companionship. This book is all about it. You will read all about love, kindness, tenderness, and courage. The book revolves around The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse, as the title suggests. First, the boy meets the mole, and later they meet Fox. As the journey goes on, they ask each other questions which are simple but thought-provoking. You would want to sit and think about answers that you would have given or hoped for after you are done reading. It will make you wonder how sometimes the simplest of things have the most impact. My favourite quote from the book is when the boy asks, “What is the bravest thing you’ve e

Review - The Sound of Boots by Merena Toppo and Mansi Sharma

  It is a Covid lockdown story which revolves around a father-son duo. The book depicts several stages of their relationship, from their initial lack of communication to their eventual warming up to each other.

For some, it has been a nightmare. Yet, for some, it represented a glimmer of optimism that transformed their life. This story gives confidence that everything is attainable with equal efforts from all sides.

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
