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.

 Days of Blood & Starlight (Daughter of Smoke & Bone #2) By  Laini Taylor My Rating: 5 Genre: YA, Fantasy Finished on: 1st Nov, 2019 This book was a sad one. Really. For starters, I have already written in my previous reviews about how amazing the writing of the author is. So I need not mention again how the writing is not just amazing, but truly beautiful, magical, phantasmagorical and whatever adjective fits! Simply. Magical. Coming to the story of the book, like I mentioned at the beginning, it was sad. It began and ended with a different sort of sadness and torment. The entire book was like that. Full of anguish, pain, longing, and a void which was present throughout the book. Akiva and Karou are separated in the beginning. Karou, back to her previous world, Eretz. She found there exactly what she had been dreading to see. Land full of ashes of her entire race. All of her family gone. Brimstone gone. While Akiva has returned to his place as well, he returns with a ...

 Dreams of Gods and Monsters (Daughter of Smoke & Bone #3) By  Laini Taylor My Rating: 5 Genre: YA, Fantasy Finished on: Nov 12th, 2019 Are you sure this was a trilogy? Was this  reallyy  a trilogy?! If you ask me, then I don't think it is! If it is, then I would like to ask Laini Taylor, what the hell was this book about?! This is the book where the title made sense in the last 10% of the book. And the entire trilogy made sense in the last freaking 10% of the book. Yes! So here it is. Jael has breached the human world in the hopes of conquering them by fooling them all by claiming they are Gods.  Gods with super powers.  Super powers which can somehow solve the problems of entire human kind. And then the humans are in a frenzy. Some travelling half across the world at the door step of the place where the angels are residing currently, to seek their blessings. And some are shutting doors and having meetings, finding it all suspicious.  Well, these ...

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...
