A story really close to my heart.... A punju guy and a south indian girl... Sparks fly and parents have to be convinced... Difficult but very well expressed.

Digital Fortress by Dan Brown

Really nice book. A little pale in comparison to Angels and Demons or Da Vinci Code but nevertheless, suerb research done and awesome speed. Don't feel like keeping the book dpwn once it s in your hands.

A complex plot of codes, murders, physchotics, research... Keeps you on the edge of the chair. rad it to believe it

Overall ratingL 4.5 stars

Separation of Power

Reading 450 odd pages to get a story of 90 pages is all that would say. A political game, too may characters and a confused plot... All in all, not worth the time spent. A different story about tow nations colliding over a common point.

Rating 1.5 star

Stone Cold by David Baldacci

The least sais the better of this book. The book with three parallel lies running never cross ito each other making you wonder if it is the same book that is being read or a collection of 3 books. Not worth the time specnt on the book. There is never a moment where the reader would be at the edge of his seat inspite of it being a thriller.

Always of the idea, that she would never have a baby, the novel talks about how she adjusts herself to her new lifestyle. Ross and family are overjoyed with the news and suddenly the pending marriage is not of much importance as compared to the baby shower. In the process, our lady realises that her importance is limited to the fact that she has been the vehicle of the gorgeous Ross' baby. Once she loses her baby, she is dumped like a hot potato with numerous accusations. It is then she realised that she was gonna be marrying Ross because he was good and settled in life but she did not love him and vice versa. She also gets to know about the person she loved, who was her dear friend Jack, who had a past of his own, who was not as gorgeous and glorious as Ross was, who had a baby with another woman Leslie.... Yet she loved him inspite of that...

Makes for a very interesting reading on a rainy afternoon. Brings into focus the dilemmas a girl faces as she chooses the one she is gonna spend her life with...

The Secret by Rhonda Byrnes

The Secret was old knowledge ina new packing. Though the packing was just awesome would say. Not enough to simply comment on the book. One must read and re-read the book to experience the amgic. There is something like magic that the human mind can conjure and the same has been very well illustrated in the book. A perfect book when one's feeling low or unwell.

Overall rating: 4.5 stars
