Short Book Reviews - 2018.1



1. Origin - Dan Brown : Years ago I used to read books and write all the quotes that I liked from the book in my little journal, if I was doing the same till today then I would be writing a lot while reading this book. A good read. 3/5.


2. The Nest - It is an award winning book - didn't work for me. 2/5.


3. Fangirl - Rainbow Rowell - I hearby swear to never read Rowell's books again. 2/5.


4. Speak - Laurie Halse Anderson - A story of a girl who is bullied. Liked it. 3/5.


5. Twisted -Laurie Halse Anderson - Teen fiction - It was alright - 2/5.



6. The Husband's Secret - Liane Moriarty - I tried, I promise, to like Moriarty's books, truly madly guilty or be it big little lies and this was my third attempt, but I never get involved in her characters and I nor do I care the secrets that drive the plots of her books, the women characters in her books are too stereotypical (my opinion) or may be it's just that I don't like serious chick-lit even though they are bestsellers. Anywhooo, this was my last attempt at reading her books. (I loved the TV show Big Little Lies, it was short and crisp, unlike her books)  2/5.


7. Parallel Worlds - Michio Kaku -
In this thrilling journey into the mysteries of our cosmos, bestselling author Michio Kaku takes us on a dizzying ride to explore black holes and time machines, multidimensional space and, most tantalizing of all, the possibility that parallel universes may lay alongside our own. 4/5.



8. Lies she told - Cate Holahan ........ 1/5


9. Don't let go - Harlan Coben ....... 2/5


10. Surprise me - Sophie Kinsella - Yawn! 1/5.
