And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie – Review

And Then There were NONE by Agatha Christie
Author: Agatha Christie
Price: Rs. 423
Pages: 264
Genre: Thriller


Agatha Christie is known throughout the world as the Queen of Crime. For a very long time, I wanted to read this book and I am so glad I did it now. When I first began to read the book I was incredibly drawn to the plot.

It's a story of ten guests brought together by a mysterious entity to stay at a house on soldier island, a remote place with no means of departure. Each of them has committed a sin in their past and escaped from the law. One by one they begin to die. They find that the way each of them was being killed, was according to a poem written on the frame hanging in their bedrooms. Each death creates a fear among them and they understand that one among them must be the killer. The story revolves around how they try to find out the killer and in the same course of time how each of them dies. At the end, the killer reveals his/her own identity in a most stunning way.
Christie never fails to surprise us with who the murderer really is. This book was seriously full of surprises and twists that I did not see coming. It was a great mystery that makes me totally understand why she is so beloved by fans. If you enjoy this genre and haven’t read this yet, do read it. You will not be disappointed.

The Girl of My Dreams – Review

Review: The Girl of My Dreams, by  Durjoy Datta Review of The Girl fo my dreams by Durjoy Datta Author:  Durjoy Datta Price:  Rs. 199 /- Pages:  288 Genre:  Thriller I have first read “If it’s not Forever, then It’s not Love” by Durjoy Datta and loved his books from then on. However, The Girl of my Dreams is a genre change for Durjoy Datta. The book is a Thriller with love and obsession as the central theme. The book is about the Protagonist, Daman who is facing challenges in life after surviving a deadly car accident. His girlfriend, Shreyasi, was with him in the car and he feels that because he was driving that day and he is guilty of her death. Daman meets his new girlfriend, Avni who doesn’t like Daman mentioning Shreyasi, his virtual girlfriend in his writings. Even after Avni’s repeated appeal to him to name her instead of Shreyasi, he keeps using his virtual girlfriend’s name. The plot becomes chaotic when Shreyasi comes back to life, the plot becomes

Zadie smith: Book Review: Swing time

Author:  Zadie Smith Pages:  464 Price:  INR 599 Genre:  Fiction, Contemporary, Literary Fiction Swing Time  is Zadie Smith’s fifth novel and for my money her finest. A “best friend bildungsroman” in the Elena Ferrante mould, the novel tells the story of two girls growing up on the wrong side of town. Residents of neighboring housing estates in London, the pair meet at a community dance class, one (the unnamed narrator) clever and self-doubting, the other (Tracey) confident and self-destructive. As with the Italian bestseller, the talented friend is the tortured one – prematurely sexual, rebellious at school, ungoverned at home – while the less gifted is an able student, determined to make it out of the neighborhood. It gives little away to say that she does, becoming an assistant to a pop star called Aimee. It is by Aimee’s side that she travels the world, jetting from winters to summers. For its plot alone,  Swing Time  makes for truly marvelous reading. The narrato

Review: Adultery by  Paulo Coelho Adultery by Paulo Coelho Review Author: Paulo Coelho Price: Rs. 947 Pages: 272 Genre: Thriller, Romance I had the excitement when I picked up Paulo Coelho’s book Adultery as the title had a lot to say.
