N or M? by Agatha Christie

No doubt that she is entitled as 'Queen of Crime'.

The story holds the suspense till the last 3 pages of the book. Every character seems suspicious yet they cannot be suspected. Tommy and Tuppence played their part very well as detectives for England during the war. Well, what can i say? A must read for suspense lovers. :)

I was connected to this book and find it so close to heart rather than other so-called self help books or philosophical books. The language was so simple that anyone could grasp the true meaning about the topics discussed in this book. I even cried at the end of the book. I wish I had a teacher like Morrie Schwartz. But, so what? I'm blessed to come across this book and it changed the way I look at my life now. :)

Mitch Albom is so lucky to have such a great teacher. :) I hope everyone finds one.

Happy reading!

Funny. Witty. Very clever plot. I cant imagine the pain that the writer went through to make the science workout on every page. Cant wait for the film to release. I guess its much better in a film. Any non-science student could read this. But, have to keep up with many abbreviations. Also, its alot difficult to imagine things if you havent watched any sci fi film yet.

I would recommend this to every sci fi reader.

Once again, this book is very very funny! Made me laugh out loud! Seriously cant wait for the film to release though!

A book which changed the way I think about life and death and the consequences of the words we utter.
Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami

What can I say? This book contains everything which you could imagine to be in a book. Cats, fishes n leeches falling from sky, going to another world..

First of all, I liked the writing style and how the two parallel stories of Kafka and the old man Nakata converge at the climax. That was really beautiful!

I need not mention it, but this book is entirely a metaphor to our life which concludes the story by 'The world is a metaphor'. You will be convinced to that line once you start reading this book. For surrealist lovers, this book doesnt disappoint you at all.

This is my first book of Haruki Murakami. I totally enjoyed it.
