The Good, The Bad and The Ridiculous

Books are always a kind fantasy and who can understand us better than a good book? So during an off chance, I encountered this book by Khushwant Singh at my friend’s place. Since my school days I have been fanatic about this late writer. Learning his short stories and humorous descriptions about the people in his life, I could not stand a chance of missing out on this one.

Confessions of A Shopaholic- Sophie Kinsella

Confessions of a shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella is a hilarious novel.If you have seen and loved the movie, then this book is for you, because it is completely different from the book. In fact, I had not read this book for years believing it might be the same as the movie. But, it is completely different, except the characters you won't find anything similar in the books and the movie. the storyline is different and so are the adventures. You will smile, giggle or may even roar with laughter at some places. It makes you happy to read the adventures and misadventures of Rebecca "Becky" Bloomwood. Becky is a financial journalist for a low budget journal , Successful Savings. And as the title says it all, Rebecca is a shopaholic and she knows so very well. But, she cannot control herself. She finds happiness in clothes, malls are her mecca and Vogue is her bible. Though she loves to shop from the top brands, she doesn't have the money to do so. and due to that Rebecca is in debt. She has stretched her Visa to the limit and not a day goes by when she doesn't receive a mail from the banks.

Sentiments- The Book Thief- Markus Zusak

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak is an exceptional book. It is sentimental, thoughtful and sometimes it makes you smile. It makes be grateful of your stars that you were not born in the Nazi period, in the world, specially in Germany, especially a Jew.Yes, it takes place in the Nazi times, in Germany. And the most unusual part of this book is its narration, which is by Death. Yes, Death, like the Grim Reaper or something, but a very humane one, one who kind of likes humans and their quirks and eccentricities, and is keen on understanding them.

The Holes In Our Hearts- TFIOS review

The Fault In Our Stars ,or TFIOS, as people these days prefer calling it ,is one of the most feel good books that I’ve read in a long time, and trust me when I say long time, I mean it. After reading the book, you feel like you have lost something, a big chunk of your heart is missing, and Hazel has taken it with her. Yes, I know that happens after every good book has been devoured, licked, sniffed, eaten,etc(whatever you prefer), but this book goes an extra mile. I love it. Yes, there, I said it, I love this goddamn book. No, I have not been bribed by anyone to confess that.

Enough of my feelings (yeah, I know they do get out of control at times, but I’ll try putting them on the back burner for a short while.) Let me just give you a brief of the book, which is by the way, being made into a feature film, so if you are not a reader and a movie buff instead, you can watch the movie. But as is the case with all the movies that have been “inspired” by books, I don’t think will do John Green’s story much justice. Anyway, not dwindling from the topic( yes, I can do it), let me tell you about the story(phew, finally).
