Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan


Second book in the Olympian Series written by Rick Riordan; amazing sequel to his first book. The story gets much more interesting and the life demi-gods and their camp become clearer. Percy has understood his powers well but still is on the initial stage of learning. The book is narrated in very good flow and is really very catchy.

With the help Annabeth they defeat their enemies and proceeds towards the camp, which is under the attack because the boundary of the camp is weaken as the tree Thalia Grace is poisoned, it was trees magical power that was protecting the camp from attack. So now it was Clarisse's quest to find the Golden Fleece which can cure the Thalia's tree. Thalia was Zeus demi-god daughter.

The books is ended at very interesting point which keeps the reader waiting for the 3rd book in series.

It is an awesome book, a very nice sequel to Percy Jackson: The lightening thief. If you have read first part then you can't stop yourself from reading this book & if you haven't start reading this series; it is one of the best fantasy fiction series. There is also an movie being made on this book.

The Three Mistakes of My Life - Kai Po Che (Movie) by Chetan Bhagat


A third book by an emerging Indian Author, Chetan Bhagat. Chetan proves that he has become an veteran in this profession. After the success of previous two books, third book turns out not to be that great. Narration was fab, as always you would find in his books, but storyline was not that great. The movie "kai po che" is based on this book.

The 3 mistakes of my life Cover

The story is all about the three mistakes the narrator (Govind) commits in his life. A group of three friends (Govind, Ishaan, Omi) with extremely different character and dreams, faces new aspects of life. The book takes you through the problems in family, riots in the city, etc. This Book has an essence of Indian Culture and how the youths are affected by it. Chetan has tried to put a light on these issues by writing a good book. The story takes us through riot killings, betrayel in friendship, love with best friend's sister, in short a book containing great twist & turns.

It is Good book but turns out not to be as great as previous two. A good narration is a plus point for it while the dramatic angles of story turn out to be pretty similar to bollywood movies. In all can be read once.

Angels & Demons By Dan Brown


The name itself makes it clear that it is somewhat related to Angels and Demons, but talking precisely they are shown in a character form. The book is seriously very awesome; once you start reading you just can't keep it down. I suggested this book to my friend and her reaction was exactly the same. She wasn't able to keep the book down until it was finished.


Angels & Demons Cover


This novel was written before The Da Vince Code and 'Robert Langdon' the same fictional character was protagonist. The novel is fabulous; contains everything mystery, thriller, suspense, etc. The story is about the murder of 4 kidnapped cardinals on the very day when the pope expired, who was eventually killed by illuminati. They are killed in format which turns out to be the path of illumination, as called in illuminati society and is to be traveled by every new member. So this path is to be searched by Langdon in order to save the cardinals.

Well this all was started with antimatter which was stolen from CERN; which is an opposite of matter, like positive and negative. This book is great mixture of Science, Religion, Ancient Symbols, etc. The narration of novel was so realistic that each and every character turns out to be real.  Also a movie has been made based on this book and is seriously one of the greatest movies.

Can Love Happen Twice by Ravinder Singh


The second book by Ravinder Singh, a sequel to I Too Had A Love Story. After reading the book it seems what has happened to Ravinder Singh. His first book was very amazing but this second book, he has lost his touch of writing. Nothing was good about the book. The book might get readers just because of his debut book; otherwise it is not book to be read. It feels like he has written this book just for time pass.

In this book Ravinder goes to abroad from the company on a project and stays there where he meets Simar. She is pursuing MBA and is basically from Gurgaon. Then they become friends and story goes on. On asking by Simar about his previous girlfriend, Ravinder tells that he wrote book on her and provides her I Too Had A Love Story. After that Simar and Ravinder falls for each other, but this was not the end; there were many problems to be solved. The narration turns out to be pretty bad & very boring.


The book was not able to catch reader & at some points many pages were wasted on unrelated topics. At initial the story starts after many pages which is again a very annoying thing about book. Don't waste your time on this. It is not as good as his first book was

Anything for you Ma'am by Tushar Raheja


Here comes one of my favorite book. It is amongst the Best novel writteh by an Indian Author. Once you start reading this book you just can't keep it down and mind it if go through novel without break you will find it completed in no time. It was one of the few books in which you won't find yourself just turning pages; you will feel drifting through pages.

Anything for you ma'am
A very well narrated, full of emotions and a motivator book. The narration of book was pretty dramatic but that was the most lovable thing. The dramatization of the entire story made it very entertaining. The lead role Tejas was presented as fighter character and survivor. The character was portrayed as most ideal boy by many youngster, romantic, writer, guitar player and also humorous.

Moving on to the story; it is a love story of an IITian Engineer. There was very much similarity in Chetan and Tushar's books, but in spite of this Tushar was successful in attracting the audience. The boy (Tejas) fells for a girl (Shreya) who is also his sister's classmate. This was not the only problem that fate brings in front of him. She lived in Chennai and he lived in Delhi, two different corners of country. Tejas fells for Shreya and follows his heart and tries his level best to meet Shreya.

Well every story has a villain and here this role was played by his Prof. Sidhu. The most encouraging thing about this book was that despite of lots of problems Tejas fights with great courage. Well in the end a good side of Prof. Sidhu comes out and also he turns out to be the friend of his father-in-law. It was a very good and amazingly scripted book. Few of the acts are exaggerated but they are presented in humorous way, so in all it is the book which every Book Lover should read.

The title of the book is very excellently chosen; it goes completely with the story.
