    (Rohanraj@4510)

    1. The Silent Pateint - Alex Michaelides

    One of the best books I have ever read. The story till the end was
    very captivating, I never thought the ending would be something
    like that. Throughout the book, the shift between the storylines of
    the past and present was so smooth that I didn’t even realise it until
    the end. The storyline overall was too good. The description of
    characters was surreal, I never knew text can provide this much
    details. In the mid I really wanted Alicia and Theo to get together.
    But the way story unfolded and then when he said that was the first
    time I met Alicia, it gave me goosebumps. I didn’t like it when it
    came to light that Kathy was cheating on Theo with Gabriel (again
    proving my point that love is too overrated) and the fact that even
    after knowing all this Theo was still living with her. I hoped for an
    epilogue, I wanted to know if they will convict Theo or not but the
    author ended it, which was good too. I liked the character of Ruth
    quite a little, she was very straight-forward wuth her answers and
    always thought the best for Theo. I really liked how Theo didn’t
    kill Gabriel at the end, only scared the couple and told Alicia the
    truth about Gabriel and in response to this Alicia tried to chike
    Theo when they first met at the Grove, which was quite upsetting.
    Indira, I liked her too, she is portrayed as a mother and I could fell
    that she is very warm and caring about her patients, treating her
    pateints was her top priority then to drug them and restrain them as
    was Theo’s as well. All the characters were really well described
    and played their part. Alicia’s brother, Paul, was also very good till
    the end, he only wanted what was best for her sister. Gabriel’s
    brother, Max, on the other hand was too disgusting, but his honest
    cry at the end moved me a little. I felt bad for Tanya though, noone
    deserves such husband. The best part about the book, again I’ll
    repeat is how the author switches between the present and the past,
    that is all too amusing when you find out. I never read such story,
    too good. This story had a prologue, that is something I really like
    in story books, they should have a Epilogue as well though, gives
    the book a final ending. 10/10 book, must read.

    2. The Devotion of Suspect X - Keigo Higashino

    Another nice book. The story is set in Japan, which is one of the
    places I really want to visit someday, nonetheless, let’s talk about
    the story. First of all I didn’t understand the title till the end of the
    book, seriously it took all 200+ pages for me to understand the
    title of the book, unlike the previous book, whose title was quite
    obvious after reading a few chapters. Though this book is based on
    mystery, a murder, in the end I felt like it is more of a platonic
    love. It’s kind of like a person (Ishigami) in love with Yasuko,
    would do anything just to protect her and despite all his efforts he
    was not able to do so. I mean the story itself was brilliantly written,
    the mystery that it created was too amusing for me, but then again
    if the MC did all this for love, I am not very convinced, I don’t
    think people are capable of doing this. They maybe able to kill
    someone for their love but to kill someone and plot everything else
    is quite a stretch. If talking only from the POV of a mystery
    thriller, this book was too good. I really liked how Ishigami plotted
    everything, making a dead body alibi, too good. I also liked how
    his long lost friend (Yukawa) saw through all his schemes and
    unraveled the truth. The police here is shown too dumb I feel. The
    misleading clues planted by Ishigami were all accpetd as true by
    the police and the lead investigators (Kusinagi and Kishitani). But
    the story of is too amusing to read, for the first half of the book the
    story is really captivating but then it starts to get a little bland and
    then the final revelation happens which is too much for anyone to
    take in and still Yukawa figured it all out by himself, too much
    genius. I really liked how Yukawa was truly sad to have a lost a
    friend of this calibre, but again Devotion shown by Ishigami
    (Suspect X) was too much for me at the end.

    4. The Prophecy - Chris Kuzenski

    5. Ghosts of the Silent Hill - Anita Krishan

    6. The Book Thief - Markus Zusak ( OnGoing )

    7. Animal Farm - George Orwell

    One of the most interesting books that I have read so far. To


    conclude it in one sentence - It is a story in which a tyrant
    is overthrown by a rebellion to give birth to another tyrant.
    This stroy portrays the crux of class struggles that our
    society is well aware of. It speaks volumes of how illiteracy
    is exploited by more intelligent race and poeple. It
    highlights all the sins of human beings transferred to the
    Animals (Pigs). As soon as they became a little superior,
    they didn’t wait to widen the gap and take over another
    animas. As the wise say - The rich gets richer and the poor
    get poorer.
