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.

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...

The Stranger

  The Stranger By Harlan Coben My Rating: 5 Genre: Mystery, Thriller, Fiction Finished on: 31st Dec, 2019 Yet another gripping book from Harlan! How could I not love it? There wasn't any moment I could put it down. The moment I started this, I just wanted to know what has happened, and what's going on. And gosh, it's so messed up! Simply stealing from the lacrosse organisation started this all. Why did Tripp had to do this? Stoop down so low by taking a life? It could have been sorted out in a much peaceful manner, if only they had all simply sat and talked. I really did not expect Corrine to die. That was a surprise to me. Tripp just going and showing the place where he buried her? How sick! And Harlan in this book throws light on what limits can a person reach for their own selfish needs. Tripp and John Kuntz. Both of them broke, in desperate need of money, one to save their son and the other to stabilize their family life, sees other people as threats who might so much a...

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 ...
