The Soul Of Books

 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...

 Story of Your Life By  Ted Chiang My Rating: 5/5 Genre: Sci Fi Finished on: 23rd May, 2021 The Story Of Your Life By Ted Chiang   One fine day me and my sister were choosing which movie to watch on weekend, and as anyone might guess from reading this review, it was the Arrival. Which is based on this book. I watched the movie, loved every bit of it, and there was absolutely no way I was missing out on a chance to read the book upon finding out the movie was based on it. So, here we are.  I had always been fascinated with time travel theories. And the concept in this one simply blew my mind. This book didn't just mess with time, but it ALSO made us all realize the beauty of being multi lingual. It introduced the concept of Sapir Whorf hypothesis! Or in other words Linguistic Relativity. Just. Simply. Amazing. ____________ There were slight differences in the book and movie.  In the movie we had to use our brains to find out what's really happening. But, in ...

 Sea Prayer by   Khaled Hosseini ,  Dan Williams   (Illustrator) My Rating: 5/5 Genre: Poetry Fiction, War Finished on: 31st Dec, 2020 Sea Prayer By Khaled Hosseini There isn't much to say about this book. A few pages. A short story. One can only glide over the poetic words, skim over the illustrations. And once done, we can pull our head back, close our eyes, and feel the rhythm of our broken hearts. This book is dedicated to the thousands of refugees who have perished at sea fleeing war and persecution. As said earlier, there isn't much to say about this book. There isn't much to do either. The one thing which we can do is pray. All I can do is pray.  ‌Because you, you are precious cargo, Marwan, the most precious there ever was. I pray the sea knows this. Inshallah. We pray the sea knows this. All we can do is pray.

 Ghost Boys By  Jewell Parker Rhodes My Rating: 5/5 Genre: Children-Fic, Historical Fic Finished on: 30th Dec, 2020 This is yet another book which I picked after coming to know my cousin is teaching to her students. And although this book is for children, it holds a deeper meaning. And in my personal opinion I feel everyone should read such books at least once in their life. This isn't just a story, but it's about prevailing injustice and racism which has become so common in our lives. It's important to understand that. It's important to realise that. And much more than that, it's important to raise our voices against it. So we avoid this from happening to anyone in the future. ____________________________________________________ The protagonist in this story is a kid named Jerome . He passes away in the month of Jan. When a policeman mistook the boy to be a dangerous man who has the intention to harm police, and in the attempt to defend themselves, they open fire....
