What indeed is true love? What is that strange secret that locks all the circumstances together?

BOOK REVIEW

Without You is the love story of Ananya and Arjun. Ananya fell in love with Arjun during her vacations at grandmother’s house but something terrible happens between them because of which Ananya decides to end up their relationship and move on without him, though she still loved him a lot.

The story proceeds with Ananya as emotionally broken girl. Dreams that she had, were shattered and the life seems to be having no direction to move on. But the true love finds you every time you try to hide from the life, the same happens with Ananya.

The story is fast paced and the writing style of Author is brilliant. Characterization of each character had required depth and the description of each scene made the book alive in reader’s mind. The language used and the narration of the book is what I enjoyed the most while reading the book.

Being the simple love story, it’s difficult to stand out when so many other books are competing on the same genre, yet this book stands among the top because of small elements that makes the book special. Unexpected turns, side stories and brilliant writing, did the trick for the book.


I would like to recommend this book to every lover who loves to read about true love. My rating for the book is 4/5.

THE LAST SURGE - BOOK REVIEW



ABOUT THE BOOK
"...the day we face each other, she will be sorry; sorry for rendering me emotionally impotent. And that will be my victory." Their blazing courtship was nearing marriage, before fate played its vicious card. Rimi dumped Gabriel and married the choice of her family but Gabriel decided to remain single. Why did Rimi take such a drastic decision? How did Gabriel keep up his single hood? Did they meet again or did fate succeed in keeping them apart? How does Sneha fit into the picture? Crafted with the characteristic flavors of Bengal, THE LAST SURGE brings you the tale of an ace football player turned relationship counselor and what made this protagonist a great brother, a greater father and an even greater romantic.

BOOK REVIEW

Now a days Indian Writers are busy in describing tales about love only but still there are some books that do indulges in the same genre but are still refreshing when comes to the way it is being narrated and sometimes unusual twists with the plot provides the cherry on the cake.
The last Surge being the debutant work of Pramit Sarkar successfully makes a place in the hearts of his readers. The best part of the book is the freshness that comes as the intelligent writing style of the author. It's unique and interesting as well.
The story of Gabriel Hopkins and Rimi Chakraborty is pretty touching and does leaves a long impact on reader's heart. Some love stories are meant to stay and seep in your memory for long time. Some stories are immortal and their love story is one of them. 
The Last Surge is emotionally overloaded and may leave you with wet eyes in the end, so be prepared.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book and would like to rate it 4/5 .

Light Denied by Mangala - Book Review


A simple story that could motivate and keep you emotionally attached with the protagonist, not because of her disability but because of her courage that was motivated in her by her world around in form of friends and family, is what comprises the overall plot of Light Denied.

Light Denied is the story of ‘Mukhi’ who is blind since her birth. The problems she faces in daily life, her thoughts, her own world, her family and friends and most importantly, her fight with herself, is what the author has tried to portray with her simple and effective narration.

The one character which stands out of the story is Mukhi’s grandmother. Her image would remain in your memory for sure even after putting the book back in the shelf after finishing it.

The book never loses the grip over the audience, from start to finish. Though the plot is very simple but still the author’s magic has worked in keeping the hold.


I would rate it 3.5/5 stars.   

ABOUT THE BOOK
Milton wants to question God as to whether God will still demand excellence of him even after taking away his eyesight. The heroine of story Viswathomukhi also has the same question to God. She strives and struggles in the society which sees disability as a liability and awards a negative value to it. We come across many examples of this kind in our daily life. We never lend our ears or hands to these people in our selfish and materialistic battle in life.

The story revolves around loving grandparents, especially the mental strength of the granny, the beautifully woven friendship, the dedicated teachers and Mukhi’s struggle. Did she win her battle in life? Read this wonderful book to know the real meaning of humanity and love.

Hidden Husband by Shikha Kaul - Book Review


World seems to be changing around us but still we do have to travel a pretty long distance when it comes to choosing our life partner in our society. On the same plot runs the story of Hidden Husband. A ‘legitimate’ marriage of a couple but still hidden from the society. The story revolves round Aisha’s love life with Raghav. After finishing the novel you did feel bad for them but author played a great trick at the end. She left the story on a pretty good point which will surely leave a smile on your face.

Shikha Kaul has written the story in very simple language and the narration of the story is pretty commendable, keeping this at mind that the author is debuting with this novel.

There are few points in books which actually make the reader clinch the book tightly and eyebrows rise up automatically. I would surely recommend this book to everyone who wants to read good literature and a refreshing story. I loved the characterization of all the character but especially Aisha because it was easy to connect with her.


I will rate this book 4/5.  

ABOUT THE BOOK:
Aisha is trapped in her own secret which makes her life hell.
Her love for Raghav is true. But hailing from two very different cultures is the basis of their continued friction. Aisha is a Punjabi girl from Gurgaon and Raghav a Bihari from Ranchi. Raghav’s family will certainly not accept a girl from outside their community. And yet, he continues giving her false hopes through his efforts and promises.
And then they take a step which entangles her life further.
Will she manage to come out of this quandary or must she continue to live in her self-created web? Explore her journey that makes her realise the atrocities being committed on women in the Indian society and the tough decisions she must take, keeping her most loved ones oblivious to everything happening in her life.

Things End But Memories Last Forever BY Kumar Milan - Book Review


Things end but memories last forever is one book that reminds of school days, that friendship, first love and the madness of teenage. The starts in a great pace which seems to be pretty vague because many events seems to be skipped. Narration is brilliantly done, dialogues are beautifully crafted. The only drawback about the book is it's editing and the writing style of the author. My verdict about the book would be 'a great story that fell flat because of technicalities.'

I would rate the book 3 out of 5 and will surely wait for the next book of the author because I can see the potential of the author that will surely be coming out in next ventures. I wish him great future.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Have you ever:
Been in true love? Not love at first sight but love at every sight?
Met the love of your life after 4 years only to lose her again?
Faced a psycho stalker?
Messed with family of cops?
Get caught boozing by none other than your mom on your own birthday?

Well, if this excites you even a bit, this would be an enthralling read for you.
Things End, But Memories Last Forever.

The book tells the real life bitter-sweet incidents and discloses a candid narration by a mad, love struck and bemused guy, Abhi, who confesses about every last details of his past life to his best friend after a near death escape in a car accident. The tale of his first love Nikita and much more.

As time goes on, you’ll understand. What lasts, lasts; what doesn’t, doesn’t. We are habituated to miss those people the most, who left us for no reason…
