The Goblet of Fire (GoF) is darker than the previous books but still contains the ingredients that endeared us to Harry and his world. GoF is a stunning book of sinister plot, a trigger of adrenaline rush and a storage of gruesome truths and betrayals. It was jaw dropping till the end with a lot of twists and turns. Furthermore, GoF is immersing us deeper into the world of HP as we get to know the other wizarding schools in Europe and their cultures. And who…

The story of Chamber of Secrets is weaved wonderfully that every pieces of the puzzle…

Book Review: Matilda

I don’t know about you but my Y/A years have been in a way shaped by Roald Dahl and his stories. Roald Dahl may have come late into my life—with me preferring to spend my childhood playing under the sun rather than read book indoors—but they never failed to remind me of the importance of goodness and that unpleasant deeds would always reap retribution either directly or indirectly. And this perhaps is best conveyed by Roald Dahl’s Matilda. The story of Matilda brings us to the lives of the Wormwood family members who—except for Matilda—were not only crooked but cruel…
