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 - Summer Requiem by Vikram Seth

                                            It is a book that will take you to places and circumstances that once upon a time were your humble abode. Now things have changed and, we have moved forward in life where things or people that matter live far away. The poems were deep. One has to focus on what he is trying to say, else you'll lose the plot. I enjoyed some and, some were out of my reach. I feel I should go back to those again in the latter part of life to understand them better. Not merely reading it, but feeling them as well will only make me closer to the truth. Even though I didn't get few poems, I wish to read them again. It happens very rarely when I feel like re-reading a book. So, if it is happening, that means it has left an impact on me. Like every other poetry book, go slow with this. My favourites from this book are – Can’t, This Room, In Touch, Day and Nig...

Review: Marry Me, Stranger by Novoneel Chakraborty

Well, I'm not one of those who just write a review, but then this book requires one I think so. When I started this book I was thinking that I don't want to read another typical love story (though I have read all his other books). So I just wished me luck and started reading it. Even first few pages took me by surprise and as I moved on, it was a roller coaster ride full of overriding emotions. I usually take time to read books as I love going through the depth of book by slowly taking them in my world but completed this one in one go.  The best thing about the book is its story line and obviously the characters because even if the story is good and the characters are not portrayed well you cannot connect much with them. Here, everything is in total synchronization, be it emotions, social responsibility or situation handling issues. I will not call it a love story because it is not. It is more about social issues, your own self, situation that you come across in your ...

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...
