Book Review: CHETAN BHAGAT

Image
One night at a Call Centre was Chetan Bhagat’s second book and the first among his works that I read. It was probably well-received by the readers and got Bhagat his now-huge fan-base as he was one of the few Indian writers who made his story so effortlessly believable as he took on reality through fiction. That definitely went down well with the readers, as this was the first time where an author spoke from the heart through his characters, about the things the youth connected with. From the lucid language used to the associable daily-life descriptions in his debut novel, Bhagat struck the right chord with Young India. The “call from God” at the end of the book dint provide for a strong and appreciable close, but he had already done enough to win the hearts of several thousand young, modern Indians. His first book (and by far his best book) was Five Point Someone. Because it wasn’t about some regular love story or a depressing suicide attempt. It was realistic, a unique concept in te...

Book Review:STEPHENIE MAYER

[Warning:Spoiler Ahead] When you fall in love with a vampire..... Jeez,it sounds pretty creepy....but not when the vamp in question is Edward Cullen.Stephenie Mayer has made the horror of being with a vampire one of the most sought-after prospects in the world of romance through her books which starts off with Twilight,followed by New Moon ,Eclipse and Breaking Dawn.This entire series is a romantic fantasy which will leave every hopeless romantic even more hopeless and craving for more.The romance between Edward Cullen and Isabella Swann is compelling, tormenting and passionate.

New Moon further built on that with Bella and Edward’s   painful separation and subsequent happy reunion and her newfound feelings for werewolf Jacob Black. As a result Eclipse was a different novel – it was Bella’s crazy emotions and actions and Edward’s hopes of taking their love to greater heights.   Breaking Dawn is similar...

Book Review : KHALED HOSSEINI

Image
K haled Hosseini,Afghan-American writer is renowned for his two bestselling books, The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns.I’v read both and I must admit, I absolutely loved his works. It paints a soulful, emotional and touching journey of the people of Afghanistan woven in a fabric of simple yet compelling words which brings out the fact that the basic emotions of love,patriotism,jealously,fear,passion,freindiship,pain etc. exist even in a country with which sadly nowadays one associates only war and they have been wonderfully captivated by Hosseini. Of course, he has brought out the reality of the actual turmoil in a small sense. Kite Runner is about a rich kid who moves to the US of A during his growing years because the Taliban take over his homeland .It mainly describes his life pre and post Taliban; first in Afghanistan with his friend and next; finding love in America and the life changing event that occurs in-between the geographical and emotional shift and also his ...
