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 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...

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...

   Hey there! I'm back with yet another young adult fiction: One of us is lying by none other than Karen M. McManus. To all those of you who haven't any clue about this book, it is a  murder mystery thriller that sets off among 5 totally unrelated high school students. And no, this isn't the type of typical murder drama where a detective comes in and solves the crime with his unrestrictedly witty brains. In this book, McManus kind of leaves it to the reader to unravel the mysteries and clues and this is one of the many things I really enjoyed about this book. It actually made you think about the different aspects and possibilities of the story and involved a lot of reader interaction. Well let's get to the plot now- The story takes place in a high school setting- Bayview High, when Brownyn, a studious, ambitious, high school girl walks into detention with 4 other people: Nate: the criminal- already on probation for previous criminal records. Addy: the beauty- the pictu...

Okay now, how can I describe this book? Is there a word that describes something better than just perfect? Well, if there is, then this book deserves that word. I just cannot put my feelings for this book into words. It was everything I needed at this point and I cannot get over it. Honestly, I was kind of falling into a reading slump, but the first few pages themselves got me up and reading all over again.  This book was so exciting and yet subtle at the same time. The writing and expressions were so comforting and relatable. The plot twists were so on point and satisfying. Alice Oseman really has a knack for modern literature and knows her way around a young adult's mind. Let's get to the plot now: It leads with the protagonist, Frances Janvier, a simple high school girl with straight A's and goals, who you might call a typical nerd. Nothing would come in between her and her ambitions. Not even the person who she actually is, from inside. And then she met Aled Last, anoth...

"What is history but a fable agreed upon?" What can I tell about this book? This was such a book that it goes beyond my vocabulary to express it in the right words. Lets just say, if this book didn't raise your eyebrows and didn't drop your jaw, then you are INHUMAN. With each flipping page, this book rose higher and higher in my list of favorite books. As I mentioned before, there are no real words that could describe this masterpiece. It was literally FLAWLESS(atleast for me). The genre being suspense and thriller, this book was also very erudite and realistic. Dan Brown(author) is a true mastermind. His plots, plot twists, literature, world building and even characterization is just out of the world. He is a highly gifted man and his works are simply eye opening. Now lets get to the plot summary, shall we? After Langdon's lecture in Paris, the Harvard symbologist had an appointment with the renowned elderly curator of the Louvre, Jacques Sauniere who ap...

When I initially started reading, I only ever considered fantasy fiction books as I was deeply influenced by Harry Potter, but little did I know that there were genres beyond that. After having some fair reading experience I thought of trying something new. People kept recommending me to read Dan Brown books, and here I am reviewing one of his stunningly impressive - Angels and Demons . It is a pure suspense thriller that got me all in. Here you will be reading my review on this very book and may get inspired to read it too. So lets get started- When a world renowned scientist (Leonardo Vetra) is found brutally murdered, Robert Langdon, a professor of religious iconology at the Harvard university, is summoned to identify the mysterious symbol seared on Vetra's chest that said ILLUMINATI . Langdon knows very well of the Illuminati, that it was nearly a 4 hundred year old secret brotherhood and the most powerful satanic cult  that consisted of Europe's most enlightened men lik...
