The Secret of the Nagas

The Secret of the Nagas Book Review ★★★★☆

The Secret of the Nagas by Amish is the Sequel of The Immortals of Meluha. This is a very anticipated book since The Immortals of Meluha ends at the heights of climax. Sati is pregnant and right in front of the temple Shiva and Sati notice a Naga, Shiva Screams and that's when the first book ends. Its an evil ending in my opinion , but well it does make the second book worth waiting for. The Second Book mainly deals with the Nagas.

The DaVinci Code

The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown is an amazing book. The premise is that the belief that Jesus had no descendants may not be true and there is a closed group that guards the secrets surrounding this. This also involves the much sought after Holy Grail. The members of this closed groups are now under attack. The book has been denounced heavily by the Church but Its certainly worth reading as a piece of fiction.

Angels And Demons

Angels & Demons by Dan Brown is a story that revolves around the question of who will be the next pope. Since it involves the Vatican there are several very interesting debates on the most common topics where the church has strong views. But the best part of the story is in the climax. It seems to so befitting to name the book Angels & Demons when you realize that the angels are the demons.

The Exile

The Exile by Allan Folsom is a thriller that is captivating and certainly deserves to be a best seller. The whole story has so many twists and turns that it gets hard to believe what the truth is. The characters are all very strong and extremely significant. The story goes into different countries and goes through a lot of rather interesting climax's .

This is a book that should not be missed.

Mockingjay

Mockingjay Book Review ★★★☆☆

Mockingjay by Suzzan Collins is the Third book of the Hunger Games Series. This book was rather dissapointing compared to the first two books. The book is by itself interesting and captivating but doesn't stand a chance when

State of Fear

State of Fear is a novel by Michael Crichton is actually an environmental thriller. The world is in danger this time from Radical Environmentalists. The book keeps swaying between interesting and boring. It gets even worse as its considerably bigger than the usual Michael Crichton books. There isn't really much of an adventure that is really worth it. Does a few incidents of

A Case Of Need

This is certainly not one of the best works of Michael Crichton. Its rather disappointing for a murder mystery. In Fact its not even  a murder. The book revolves mainly around medical ethics so shouldn't be read with much expectations of a mystery.

It is a good book on medical ethics aspect of abortion and nothing else.

Disclosure

In this world where man dominates everywhere, its difficult to believe that a woman can victimize a man. It's even hard to imagine it being sexual harassment . However Michael shows us how harassment is not a quality of gender but of power.

The novel breaks quite a lot of our pre conceived notions about the world and about the psychology of human beings. This is a book that must be read for the sheer brutal truth.

Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest

Lisbeth Slander's past is revealed in the third and final book of the Millennium Series. The whole book seems like a mystery unfolding and saying anything about the book seems like a spoiler. It certainly is an apt ending to a marvelous story.

The Girl Who Played With Fire

Stieg Larsson continues to amaze with the second part of the Millenium Series. While The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo brought Mikael and Lisbeth together , now they face dangers and mysteries that are much bigger than what they had to endure last time. And it gets really personal this time. Lisbeth takes the center stage here and rightly so , after all she is the The Girl Who Played With Fire.

Stieg Larsson continues to keep the focus on violence against women and also gives new insight into the Sweden Security Agencies.

And once this book is read there is only one thing that is more satisfying , reading the next and final book - The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo‎

This is part one of the Millennium Series of Books by Stieg Larsson. The book starts with parallel stories of the life of a journalist and a very unique girl(no prizes for guessing what tattoo she has). And continues into a murder mystery which gets both of them involved.

Stieg Larsson's personal views are very evident in the book. This is an excerpt form Wikipedia

When Larsson was 15 years old, he witnessed the gang rape of a girl, which led to his lifelong abhorrence of violence and abuse against women. His longtime partner, Eva Gabrielsson, writes that this incident "marked him for life" in a chapter of her book that describes Larsson as a feminist. The author never forgave himself for failing to help the girl, and this inspired the themes of sexual violence against women in his books.

The plot is based in Sweden and provides an insight into a hidden world within Sweden. As it is claimed that - Everything described in the book is a real life incident that has happened to someone in Sweden.

The violence depicted in the book gets extremely graphic at times, it would be prudent to stay away for those who are disturbed easily , especially by sexual violence.

The novel in itself is very thrilling and leaves the reader waiting to get their hands on the next part of the series - The Girl Who Played with Fire

The Host

I had almost given up reading this book after the first few pages. Nothing made sense as the story begins abruptly, and can be confusing initially. But after that the book turned out to be quite interesting.

The plot is extremely unique , love triangle involving two bodies. It certainly has a good mixture of romance, thrill and bizarre .

The story narration is from the alien's point of view which makes it quite interesting.

The Climax and Anti Climax both were interesting and surprising.

This is certainly a great book from Stephenie.

The Diary of A Young Girl

This book is a must read for everyone. While we all have heard about the world war II, this book gives a totally new insight into another side of the war. The diary starts before the war begun, and ends abruply days before anne and the residents of the "secret annexe" were arrested. Unfortunately only her father survived but anne still lives in her books.

The diary has quite interesting accounts of the problems and difficulties they faced during the years of their hiding. It also provides a great understanding of what was going through the minds of a teenager. How she changed in the years and coped with the problems that most teenagers never even have to think about.

Anne wanted to be a journalist or famous writer, if only she knew how her wish has been fulfilled.

The Lost World

The Lost World

This is a sequel to the book Jurassic Park. In spite of their best effort in trying to destroy all the dinosaurs from the Islands, Some Survive and thrive in a remote Island. And as always there is some rich crazy guy willing to take the risk.

Unlike the first book there is more of "running around" and "fighting dinos" and less of technical mumbo jumbo. That makes it a very interesting read. While it does have a lot similarities to the previous books in terms of the plot . But overall a great book.

Jurassic park

Jurassic park by Michael Crichton

Most often movies that have been based on books, tend to be a watered down version and hardly seem to be of much interest. So while reading Jurassic park I was hoping to find something that would be better than the movie. 

However there was hardly any difference between the movie and the book. The book thus is as good as the movie. 

I wonder how much of difference it would make for those who read the book first.

Pirate Latitudes

Pirate Latitudes

Pirate Latitude is a book by Michael Crichton about a daring adventure in the high seas. The story get a bit dull in the middle but does reward with lots of twists and turn at the end.

However in comparison to other books of Michael Crichton , Pirate Latitude leaves the reader rather disappointed. The narration is rather bland and doesn't really spark much imagination. probably because of the rather extinct lifestyle and plot that it is based on.

The Ending also leaves the reader confused whether it is a good or a bad ending.

In short a good book but not the best works of Michael

Pirate Latitudes Book Review

The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

Seldom do we come across books that have plots as fiery as that of Hunger Games and yet are interesting. The Story is about a very "disturbing" event called as the Hunger Games where children from different districts are pitted against each other for survival and only one can survive and be the victor.

In spite of having a very gruesome and heartless plot to begin with, the sole theme of the book seemed to be love. How can love be blossoming in such an event of hatred and blood. Well I suppose that's what lotus in mud symbolizes.

Once you have overcome the initial reservations, due to the rather extreme plot, its a very unpredictable story. Every time you think that you had expected this turn of events the author manages to surprise.

A Must read for everyone .
