Book Review: The Cuckoo’s Calling

Being JK Rowling’s first crime adult novel, I must say that she’d done an impressive job on this one. The Cuckoo’s Calling has managed to render me awestruck for a moment or two before I accepted two things: 1. Sherlock’s still the best sleuth in town and 2. Cormoran Strike didn’t manage to dislodge Professor Robert Langdon from occupying the number 2 spot in my heart.

On how he transformed from being immature to mature, from being self-centered to…

Book Review: The Giver

The Giver is perhaps one of the reasons why dystopian novels are suddenly gaining popularity these days. The Giver gives us a break from the usual fantasy adventure, sci-fi and thriller books that we’ve come to love. The Giver brings us into a whole new world wherein the community just feels creepy and alien. In the Giver, we followed the story of Jonas, an ordinary boy who got the initial shock of his life when he was appointed as the successor of the “The Receiver of Memories.” Jonas and all the members perfect community do not feel pain nor the…
