Alex Cross's Trial

 Alex Cross's Trial By James Patterson , Richard DiLallo   My Rating: 4/5 Genre: Thriller, Historical Fiction Finished on: 6th Feb 2022       As I write this review (again, after an yeaar ) I still remember how emotional this read was for me. I was too into it, the injustice, the trial. Traumatized by the horror of it all. It was not less of a horror story for me. Except there weren't any ghosts. There were beasts, in the form of people. In the form of humans. The book started with a preface, and I remember how the last lines of the preface caught my attention " My suspicion is that what happened at Mississippi was too personal and painful for Corbett to turn into a book. But I have come to believe that there has never been a better time for this story to be told. " There are five parts to this story, beginning with... Part One: A Good Man Is Hard To Find: Initially the characters are introduced. Abraham Cross, one of the main protagonist. Regina Cross (Nana Mam...

Fahrenheit 451

 Fahrenheit 451 By Ray Bradbury   My Rating: 3.5/5 Genre: Dystopi, Sci Fi Finished on: 27th Jan 2022 I started this book in the month of January '22, and writing this review on the last day of '22. I'm not sure how much I can recall at this point, or whether this review will do any justice to how I actually felt while reading.. But, here we go. So this was one of those MUST READ books I've been putting off for so long. I finally read it. The first time I ever heard of the title, I didn't really think the genre of this book was going to be a dystopian one. Fahrenheit 451 , what did it even mean? Temperature? Global warming? The meaning was explained soon enough. Coming to the book, there are three parts to it. The first one being... PART ONE: IT WAS A PLEASURE TO BURN:   This was the part where the plot was being introduced to us. Initially into the story, Guy Montag, the protagonist, meets the neighbour. Then he goes to the place he works? His team is firemen? He is...

The Time Machine

 The Time Machine by   H.G. Wells My Rating: 3/5 Genre: Sci Fi, Dystopia Finished on: 20th June, 2021 Funny thing about this book is, as I kept reading, I felt the story was way too familiar. Almost as if I anticipated what was coming already. How could that be? I have not read this book before. Did I dream all of it at some point? Am I a psychic? Only.. for me to find out (after Google search), that it has been adapted to a movie which I have already seen . Honestly, I felt so stupid. Although I have seen it years ago (which justifies why I did not immediately remember) but having not being able to recognize while I read is very.. stupid of me. Anyway, I remember enjoying the movie. Not in the sense that it was a great story, but it was definitely unique. Not a typical "Time Machine" story. So I knew what to expect from the book.  But did I enjoy reading it now..? Let me tell you that. ——————————————————- Initially it took me some time to understand what's going on...

The Storm

 The Storm By  Clive Cussler ,   Graham Brown My Rating: 5/5 Genre: Adventure, Sci Fi Finished on: 8th June, 2021 The Storm By Clive Cussler and Graham Brown This was my first book from the authors Clive Cussler and Graham Brown, and this was one of those books I bought randomly having no context of the genre, and didn't once regret! I had not tried Adventure books before, but once I finished this one, I planned to give all the others a try, this one was that great :D Although this is fictional, I'm not even sure if half the adventurous stuff performed could be done in reality, but nevertheless I thoroughly enjoyed them all. And even the characters :'D Let's dive in.  ____________ This book started with a prologue, which didn't make much sense in the beginning.  It's the year 1943, and Captain Alan Pickett is trying to make his ship survive as the captain doesn't want the enemies to take over the cargo they are carrying, but the enemies around are trying har...
