Finding Your G-Spot In Life

Finding Your G-Spot In Life | Geetika Saigal | Book Review

Finding Your G-Spot In Life by Geetika Saigal is a self-help book “written for all of us, whether you’re just starting out your life or wishing to change it”. The book holds true to this little promise – anyone can read. The solutions that the author gives aren’t unrealistic and ideal – most of them are quite doable.

Age of Azmoq

Age of Azmoq: The Valantian Imperium | Rajamayyoor Sharma | Book Review

In this book, the writing was simple, comprehensive, interactive. I would go so far as to say it was the ideal kind of writing I look for in dystopian or science fictions: perfectly explanatory (to a layman like me) but also lively. The same sort of writing carries on throughout the book.

The Unhealthy Love

The Unhealthy Love | Avijit Chakraborty | Book Review

The Unhealthy Love is everything you’d like from an exciting, fast book. Romance, delight, mystery. It starts with just the right amount of intrigue where you wonder about the characters as they slowly unravel. There is no need to worry about pace or balance since the flow of the story take care of that.

Forsaken by Desire

Forsaken by Desire | S. Shekar | Book Review

Forsaken by Desire by S. Shekhar is a romance, with the right amount of drama and passion mixed with it. It is gorgeously written – just the right words, the right adjectives, the right dialogues. The romance isn’t too cheesy, and yet it delivers the perfect amount of butterfly-in-the-tummy moments.

An Apology for Shakespeare

An Apology for Shakespeare | S.A.Joseph | Book Review

THEME: 3/5 WRITING STYLE: 3/5 POETRY: 3.5/5 Let me start by stating that I am not a reader of poetry. I am not a consumer of words that present themselves in metaphors and sentences that alliterate. I have always preferred prose, stories, pages and pages of a world that a book brings with itself. That …
