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. Paulo Coelho’s inspirational content is the reason for the popularity of his books. In this book, he has a very different style of writing.

The story is about Linda, who is a journalist in her thirties, with a husband and two children. She is quite content with her married life. She loves her family but discovers that there is something missing in her life and killing her inside. She craves for some excitement. As a result, she falls in love with her school boyfriend which results in an explicit relationship. Out of her depression, she even meets a drug dealer and thinks he is a person who she could talk to. Linda feels ashamed for whatever she had done and understands the true meaning of life and love. She abandons her past relationship with her boyfriend and starts fresh with her loving husband and beautiful family which is still with her, through her tough times.

I found something really wrong with the flow. I only finished this because it’s a short read and I wanted to see if it got any better. This book failed to offer me anything interesting. It’s not worth a read.

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
