Looking For Alaska

Looking For Alaska

By John Green

My Rating: 3
Genre: Young Adult
Finished on: May 19, 2013 
I can't exactly say how I feel about this book.
It has soo many feelings.
This book was just a normal book until 'Before'. When later, 'After' story comes, John Green just crushed up the feelings.
You need to understand the book very closely to feel it. To get out of the labyrinth in which we are present.
Its not just the story about Pudge whoo 'looks out' for Alaska.. Its about.. Well, 'm no vocabulary master! I've nil eloquence. Its just this story teaches some person something.
I bet I wrote the same line for 'TFIOS' review.

The thing is, John Green disappoints us a lot. He created such consequences that we just have to maintain control over our temper to not stop reading the book and shouting things at him.
But, in the end we either just give a hopless sigh and thank him for whatever we need to thank for or start crying and wetting our pillows all over again-until we stop, sigh, and thank him for that whatever.

We cry, that is for sure.
Our heart gets numb, failed or maybe just broken. That is for sure too.

This story, as I repeat wasn't of my much interest about 80% of it. But, I know one thing.
It made me realize one/many things.
And THAT.. made me stronger :)

Thank you John Green, thank you.

Hold Tight

 Hold Tight By Harlan Coben My Rating: 5 Genre: Mystery, Thriller Finished on: Apr 8, 2020 Whaaaat did I just read? Seriously? This was the third book of Harlan which I've read so far, and this didn't disappoint me one bit! Just like his other books.  Amazing as ever.   Honestly, if I could give more than 5 star rating, I would, as even 5 wouldn't do justice to this book.  Just wow :')  Such a  riveting plot since page one, you would want to carry this book everywhere and finish in one sitting,  just to find out what's happening. And trust me, even the last of the pages will make you feel exhilarated. That's Harlan for you!  The description of this book was so brief, never had I thought the story is so much more deeper than it seems.  There were so many families involved, their own problems.  And their own secrets.  Well.. The front cover of the book DID say that..  Every family has its secrets... So, let's discuss the plot, sh...

 The Angel's Game            (The Cemetery of Forgotten Books, #2) By   Carlos Ruiz Zafón ,   Lucia Graves My Rating: 4 Genre: Historical Fiction, Mystery, Fantasy Finished on: 22nd Aug, 2018 I really underestimated this book. Took a good 40 days to finish this, reading every page taking my own sweet time, only to realise in the end I should have paid attention to the first half of the book. The ending was fast paced. There was so much to catch up on. The mysterious character Andreas Corelli pays a huge sum to David Martin, the protagonist, for writing a piece which no one should forget. And he agrees because he wanted to  live  . But there were many things which didn't add up. (Or maybe my mind forgot in those 40 days I took to finish this). How on earth did his illness get cured? And what exactly happened to Christina which lead to her death? The madness which some of the characters faced was beyond me. I had respected inspec...

The Couple Next Door

  The Couple Next Door By   Shari Lapena My Rating: 4 Genre: Mystery, Thriller Finished on: Jul 9th, 2020 What a book it was! Nicely written. Got me hooked from the first page itself. Although it got predictable at the end, but I am still impressed. In the beginning their story just didn't add up. Front door being open when fresh new tracks of a car's tyre were found at the back of the house? The first lead was of the neighbours behind their house who saw a car passing by at 12:35. And when there were no new tracks of shoes apart from Marco's, I guess we all knew something was wrong right here. I liked the fact that this entire book was very calculative, I assumed something thinking thaaaaat might definitely be the case, but at the same time I'll come across the author making the characters in the book come up with the same assumption and that'll leave me restless. They can't just assume it in the book so early if it was true. If it isn't, then WHAT is the ...
