Aristotle And Dante Discover The Secrets Of The Universe - Benjamin Alire Saenz

To write a review on any book requires a critical mind. It requires us to be skeptical about things when we read so that the person reading the review knows exactly what the flaws in the book are before picking it up. I tried. I tried to be skeptical, I tried to find flaws. But I found that there is nothing, absolutely nothing about this book that disappointed me. There were times when I was literally grateful to have found this book and read it. I guess you can call it a love story but it also touches upon many other aspects of life that make you want to think about yourself. There are so many minute details in this book that I really enjoyed that I'd like to mention but before that let's go through the summary: Ari (Aristotle Mendoza) is a typical teenage boy fighting the same struggles as almost every teenager going through the phase from boys to men. He was always this sort of loner who didn't really mingle with many people. Not that he couldn't but he just didn...

We Were Liars - E. Lockhart

We Were Liars was one of those books that I'd heard of a lot but never really picked it up for some unknown reason. But I finally read it and now that I finished it, I'm here to share some of my personal opinions of it. Let me just start by saying that I don't recommend this book to anyone who recently started reading or doesn't really have a good reading background. I found the plot of this book to be rather ominous and suspenseful. I will explain why but before that let's go through a quick summary of the book. The Sinclairs are a wealthy, well-respected, beautiful family with a rich bloodline. At least that was how they seemed to an outsider. But what they really were was only known to the people in the family. They consisted of a filthy rich father, his 3 daughters, and the daughters' own separate families. They all had different lifestyles in different cities and didn't meet each other except during summer. Summer is the one time they all met every year...

It Ends With Us - Colleen Hoover

The book that we're going to read about here(only one of the most talked about books today) is none other than- It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover. For a person who isn't specifically into typical contemporary romance novels, this book sure changed a lot of my opinions. I literally just finished reading it and there are so many thoughts at the back of my head, so this review will basically be me blurting out my personal opinions about the book and what I think of it. Before that, let's go through a quick summary of it. It Ends With Us is essentially about a girl named Lily Bloom in her early twenties who recently graduates from college and moves to Boston to set a life of her own after having gone through a very traumatic childhood with an abusive father. Here, she meets a guy called Ryle Kincaid, after which her life keeps getting better and better. Ryle's a successful neurosurgeon who is determined to be the best in his field which doesn't permit him the time for a...
