Fine Stories Still Matter!

The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown My rating: 5 of 5 stars View all my reviews The second book in the Robert Langdon series opens with the premise when the French officials summons our renowned Havard symbologist after the murder of the Lourve museum's curator,  Jacques Saunière leaving behind some peculiar mathematical puzzles and some messages around the crime scene. Later Robert teams up with Sofie, a cryptologist to solve the bizarre murder mystery of Jacques, tracking down some deep-rooted connection with the greatest historian Leonardo Da Vinci. This pulse-taking novel is beyond appreciation and is so much close to perfect!  The characters in the book are amazing, the thrills, the conspiracy, and the cliffhangers will force you to turn the pages to achieve a proper conclusion. The story much deals with the firm cultural era on the biggest aspect, which may be liked by a non-history freak, and chances are there that it ma...

The Nine-Chambered Heart: Free Sampler by Janice Pariat My rating: 4 of 5 stars View all my reviews Beautifully written and absolutely acquisitive, The Nine Chambered Heart deals with exclusively vivid perspectives of 9 different characters who were in relation with the same women through her different phases of life. Our unnamed protagonist is mute throughout the story and you will never get to listen to her side of the same in this book, which makes you perceive that this could be your story or of someone you know! The entire pace of the book is completely lyrical which is Janice Pariat's style of writing and is remarkable. There are no cliffhangers and plot twists  BUT BUT  as mentioned earlier the writing will make you fall for this simple and lucid story. You will meet various perspectives in this story and not a single character is named and all their lucid memories about this young woman. The way each character describes...

The Grownup by Gillian Flynn My rating: 3 of 5 stars View all my reviews The story follows a sharp-witted woman who does a handjob and some petty astrometry to meet her ends. One fine evening, she comes across a mysterious wealthy woman, named Susan Burke who claims there is something eerie in her Victorian home. Considering this offer as a source to earn a handful of bucks, our unnamed narrator visits Susan's house. This leads her to discover petrifying series of events related to the Carterhook's mansion. The Grownup is a short story written by Gillian Flynn, which lurks the brain. The characters are intriguing enough completely entangling the reader with their thought process, with the provision of a vulnerable idea, "whom to believe". The plot unfolds in a very uncanny way and with uncertainties, forcing the readers to come up with an explanation,  for whatever happening!
