MAJOR SPOILER ALERT, WE WILL TALK ABOUT THE WHOLE STORY HERE. I just fell in love with this movie, partially because when I watched it, I was mad at societal norms (I still sort of am) and partially because I was an insomniac at that time (which I am not anymore). You can read the... Continue Reading →
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
Reading The book thief was like watching somebody write a beautiful story and then they started erasing it. And now I’m looking at scars etched in paper with lead rubbed off. The Book Thief written by Markus Zusak and published in 2005 is story of a little 10-yr old girl named Liesel, narrated by death... Continue Reading →
Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut
Slaughterhouse five had been on my must read list for a few years, because it earned its well-deserved place in plenty of To-Read lists. I read it last month and have been researching on and off before writing about this review/opinion, but then I realized anything that will be derived from what’s available already kills...

The Fall by Albert Camus
Reading an absurdist can be challenging. When I started reading The Fall by Albert Camus, my thoughts were “this is the shortest book I have” "this is my 2nd book by Albert Camus, I wont regret it maybe..” And then I nose-dived straight into it. The book starts with a self-proclaimed "judge-penitent", Jean-Baptiste Clamence, narrating... Continue Reading →
Review by Dave Williams (Review#20)
Every review makes me emotional and I tear up a little. But this one made me cry. I have been numb for last week or so for too many reasons and I thought maybe it’s good. Maybe for a change I’m getting few anxiety-free days. But my mind was silently struggling in a dark corner... Continue Reading →

Thank you Jay Bleu for taking time to read and review the book, your support means a lot to me. Friends standing by... Continue Reading →
Fahrenheit 451 – Book Review
You know it was worth it when you bother to put tags in it and mark the memorable places you will visit again. And I wish I was tagging my books, there are too many lanes I would like to go and stroll, to touch the walls and feel the ambiance between the words. Today,... Continue Reading →
Review by Suzette Benjamin (Review # 18!!)
Who are you people? What planet is this? Where am I?? This review has been gracing amazon page of my book, Swinging Sanity for a week now and I saw it yesterday only. ... And then I was asking all those question mentioned above. This review itself is poetry that made me swell with pride... Continue Reading →
The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
If you are not a fan of Sylvia Plath I suggest you skip this one. In few words this book is only novel, a semi-biography written by Sylvia Plath and basically a narration of her downward spiral, covering her suicide attempts and hospitalization. If you know anything about her life and her writing, it’s going... Continue Reading →
Thoughts on The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides
The silent patient has raving reviews all over the cover and internet and everywhere. So it instinctively fell in the next to-read book. I could order limited books here from a local store some days back and it’s one of them. I’m on the last one now, need to ask these people if they can... Continue Reading →
