90 Days (A book by Anirudhya Mitra)

 📍 This book is about the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi, the former Prime Minister of India. 


📍 The author has covered the story very well with a great point of view. The introduction, the plot, the narration, everything is so good about this book. The language used is lucid, easy enough to understand for everyone. 


📍 I didn't have any knowledge on the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi, so this book kinda gave me everything on it. It was hard to put down the book and do something else. 


📍 The hard work of the SIT team is shown pretty well in the book. How they caught the assassins one by one, how they handled the pressure of everyone around, as this was a big case. How the assassins organized the crime and how they plotted it, how they tried dry runs for the same. It's all in the book. 


📍 The mastermind of the crime was not so easy to find, but the SIT team did find him and all the others who helped him in the crime. However the mastermind was smart enough to fool them so many times. 


📍 While reading the last few pages I could felt the pain of those who wanted to catch the mastermind Sivrasan alive. But all the other incharge, heads, police department didn't approve their plan at the time. 


📍 This is a fast pace read, if you're looking for a true crime, this one is for you. You'd get to see how the agencies work in such cases.

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.

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 ...
