The Soul Of Books

 The Time Traveler's Wife By Audrey Niffenegger My Rating: 4 Genre: Science Fiction, Contemporary Finished On: Jan 15th, 2020 When I picked up this book, I imagined this book to be almost like a science fiction one. Protagonist, the time traveler, must be some scientist who discovered time travelling, and maybe this book is either about the adventures he has taken and shares with his wife, or the adventures both have taken together.  However, I did not anticipate what it will  reallyy  be about.  Jeez. Genetic disease? 🤕 I must say the author's thinking of considering time travelling as some sort of genetic disease is pure gold. It's completely different than the cliche time travelling via machines ones.  In those, you have complete control over the time and place you want to go. But in this case, you just go where your life, or perhaps, where you genetic body takes you. You have absolutely no control over it. And that is some challenge which Henry had to ...

 An Abundance of Katherines By   John Green My Rating: 2 Genre: YA, Contemporary Finished on: 27th Aug, 2014 OKAY. I started AAOK as soon as I finished PT. And repeating the same line as PT's review. This is a one time read. Oh, wait. Maybe a two time read. And you know why? The only thing I enjoyed in this book, or rather found hilarious is the Theorem part. Almost the whole book, I gave a poker-face expression and asking myself why even am I reading this book?! Why? Why is he creating an unnecessary theorem which makes no sense? The graphs? No sense either. And how on earth did he get the idea to add differentials in the formula! He meets old people in the book, interviews them, and resumes his effort to make this invented formula work out. As any other John Green book - apart from TFIOS - I just enjoyed the last ten pages. The rest are just not worth reading. Or maybe I was too excited to finally get this book done, lol. So basically when the explanation of the title w...

 Paper Towns By  John Green My Rating: 2 Genre: YA, Contemporary Finished on: Aug 24th, 2014 The thing about John Green's books are, apart from his Awesome 'quotes' in between the pages of his book, I find nothing worth reading at all. Look at Paper Towns. Basically half the book was about 'Searching Margo'. First I was like, okay. Margo's gone. Q wants to search her as he thinks Margo wants him to search her. I never gave a thought the WHOLE book would be about searching her. Its not 'Looking For Alaska', its 'Looking for Margo', really. Apart from that? Q, I don't care about your IM'ing your friends. I don't care how much you like 'The Resurrection' game. I don't care who has whom for their dates for Prom. Give me a story Q, a story. Okay, my apologies. I read the book. There comes a quote, "Paper people living in Paper Houses, burning the future to stay warm." and another in the beginning, "She loved mys...

 The Fault in Our Stars By   John Green My Rating: 5 Genre: YA, Fiction, Contemporary Finished on: 25th Apr, 2013 This book, I honestly don't have any words to describe, any adjectives to compare.. Just.. Just.. I am speechless! I open facebook, once in a while, and when I get too bored I check on pages which might interest me. I noticed one thing that almost all of the admins of many pages loved this book, 'The Fault In Our Stars' I mean. I was interested in the title itself when I came to know about it. I saw many wonderful quotes from the author, 'John Green' and I decided, I MUST read the book , And.. I did. I found a link of its ebook online and started reading on my phone. Its protagonist, Hazel Grace Lancaster was suffering from a lung cancer. She carries an oxygen tank cart all the time with a cannula attached to her nose, which helps her breath. Instantly I felt defeated because I knew this stoory was something I couldn't read with strength, as she alwa...
