Review: Salt And Saffron

T. Akhtar
November 18, 2020November 25, 2020 No Comments

Rating: 3.5 Stars Salt And Saffron by Kamila Shamsie is a light-hearted book about family history, class divisions, prejudices and familial love. Shamsie has created a fictional aristocratic family, proud of its roots that go back many centuries. She has used this family as an example of the elitism and caste system deeply embedded in […]

Review: The Chestnut Man

November 12, 2020November 25, 2020 No Comments

Rating: 4 Stars The Chestnut Man by Søren Sveistrup reminds me of why I love crime thrillers more than psychological or domestic thrillers. The adrenaline rush of going after a serial killer, and learning about their motivation, is something else altogether. Police procedurals are so much more intriguing than any other kind of fiction, and […]

Review: Daisy Jones & The Six

Rating: 4.5 Stars Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid may be a fictional account of a 70’s rock band, but the stories, the songs and the music sound so real that you can’t help but think about getting your hands on that awesome album that doesn’t really exist! The book follows the […]

Review: The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle

Rating: 3.75 Stars The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton was not an easy book to read for me. I think I have aged a lot since reading The Time Traveller’s Wife, because the concept of time travel and changing bodies kept confusing me! I had to turn back every time and look […]

Review: Career Of Evil

October 31, 2018October 13, 2020 No Comments

Rating: 4 Stars First of all, I don’t know why I didn’t read this book earlier, considering I have had this one since it came out in 2015. My excuse is that I made the mistake of reading reviews which said that it ended on a cliffhanger, and that it would be years before the […]

Review: Born A Crime

T. Akhtar
October 17, 2018October 13, 2020 No Comments

Rating: 4.5 stars I was very sceptical back when The Today Show replaced Jon Stewart with Trevor Noah, a comedian from South Africa, who very few had even heard of. He’s still nowhere near Jon Stewart, but over time I have come to appreciate Trevor Noah for his own unique brand of humor and wit. […]

Review: Need To Know

T. Akhtar
October 4, 2018October 13, 2020 No Comments

Rating: 3.75 Stars This book really took me by surprise! I don’t know why I bought it, maybe because there wasn’t much choice at the time, but I’m so glad that I did. This is one book that all fans of suspense, thrills and espionage should read. That it is written by a former CIA […]

Review: The Girl Before

T. Akhtar
October 2, 2018October 13, 2020 No Comments

Rating: 3.5 Stars Another day, another thriller. This one, while above average, still fails where it counts the most…. the climax. It’s not a boring book, not at all. It is so interesting that once I started reading, I found it hard to put it down, and finished it in one day only. It was […]

Review: Lord Edgeware Dies

T. Akhtar
September 26, 2018October 13, 2020 No Comments

Rating: 4 Stars It is strange knowing that I have read all these books by Agatha Christie and loved them, yet I cannot remember even a little percentage of the stories! So, now reading them again feels like I’m reading a new book. As the name suggests, in this book Lord Edgeware dies, leaving behind […]

Review: Our Kind Of Cruelty

T. Akhtar
August 7, 2018October 15, 2020 No Comments

Rating: 3 Stars Our Kind of Cruelty by Araminta Hall, is more the diary of a crazy, twisted individual, than an actual story. It is narrated by Mike Hayes while he is in prison awaiting a murder trial. His lawyer has asked him to pen down his story as seen from his perspective, and Mike […]
