The Wise Man Said (Book Review)

 📍 The story starts with an author remembering her editor's words to submit the next story soon. 


📍 It has been six months and the author is still debating the submission of her manuscript as she hasn't written a single word. 


📍 She has written three books already, which are inspiring for everyone, so that anyone who reads them can learn how to live happily. Yet she is not happy in her life. She has had success she needed years ago, she has fame, but still her story has not got the closure she needs. She is not happy in her life. 


📍 Then she meets an old frail man with silver hair and long silver beard (seemed like Dumbledore from Harry Potter). The conversation between the author and this old man was very interesting to read. How he taught her few things without even doing anything. 


📍 Before leaving the old man leaves a book for the author, titled as Wanderer. 


📍 What's in this book the old man has left behind? Who was this old man? What did she learn from him? Will she be able to live happily ever after? Will she get closure she wants badly? 


📍 Try out this book to know all the answers for such questions. I'm very sure you all will learn many things from this book. 


📍 The story was so well narrated, at first I had thoughts like this seems like a book where there is a wise man who will saying motivating things, but it all was so interesting to read how the author has portrayed the story. The cover is so beautiful and well described - the tree, the old man in a boat, the book he left behind, his red shoes, his bag etc. Read the book to find out more about the story.

The Boy Who Loved by Durjoy Dutta (Book Review)

 📍 Raghu likes to show that there is nothing remarkable about his life, he has loving middle-class parents, an elder brother he looks up to, and he plans to study in an IIT. It seems like his life is normal but is it that normal? No it isn't.  📍 The story starts with one of his friend's death. Deep down, in his heart the guilt of letting his closest friend drown in the school's swimming pool gnaws at him.  📍 He punishes himself by hiding away from the world and shying away from love and friendship.  📍 But no matter how hard he tries, he feels himself drawn to the fascinating Brahmi - a girl quite like him, yet different in a way.  📍 He tries not to, but he begins to care for her, then life throws him into the deep end and he faces reality.  📍 The Boy Who Loved is the first of a three-part romance, the third book is yet to come. This one contains a dark and edgy, wonderfully realistic and dangerously unreal story.  📍 The language of the book is e...

Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe (Book Review)

 📍  This book is about two Mexican-American teens trying to find their way in the world, but before they do that, they find each other.  📍 These two teens are Aristotle and Dante, the former guy Ari is a self-doubting silent guy, and Dante is an expressive guy who loves poetry as well.  📍 We experience the story from Ari’s perspective. Ari is not a case of being a bookish, indoor kid who doesn't relate to the rough and tumble world of "normal" boys, actually he likes to fight and drink and he wants a truck and a dog - he just never felt comfortable in the company of boys until he met Dante. 📍 Dante is definitely one of the indoor boys. He is sensitive, he reads poetry and draws too, he is the emotional one, who frequently cries, and he asks highly personal questions with his deeply inquisitive mind.  📍 Throughout the book, Aristotle and Dante are exposed and layered, continually growing more complex but also becoming more bare. Their coming of age story is ...
