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.

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

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

It is my fault to be pretty

I am a flower, a daisy who used to live on top of a mountain. I lived among other daisies, some grass, and a few trees. Life as a daisy was very peaceful and enjoyable. Every morning I woke up and gazed at the crystal blue sky; it promised me another day. The sky would darken later on and the stars would say goodnight to me. I lived on a lonely hill, not many humans visited it. I liked it that way. I felt safe on the hill. I felt safe knowing that I had the grass, the trees, and other daisies around me. I felt safe knowing that the sky was blue and that is promised me another good day. I felt safe when the stars said goodnight to me and when the sky would darken. I liked living on the hill…correction, I loved living on the hill. One day the sky didn’t wake up crystal blue, it was One day the sky didn’t wake up crystal blue, it was gray. I saw people on the hill. The people walked over to the other daisies. I watched someone pick one of the other daisies. The human couldn’t hear her sh
