Review: Hijabistan

T. Akhtar
November 4, 2019October 13, 2020 No Comments

Rating: 4 Stars Hijabistan by Sabyn Javeri is a collection of short stories about women, with a common thread of hijab running through all the stories. As a rule, I’m not one for short stories. They always leave me feeling like I missed the point. These short stories just sucked me in and left their […]

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 Hiding Place (The Taking of Annie Thorne)

Rating: 3 Stars Ever since I read The Chalk Man last year, I had been waiting for C. J. Tudor’s next. I love thrillers that combine suspense with just the right kind of creepiness. The Chalk Man reminded me of Stephen King, but with less horror and more suspense. The Hiding Place (or The Taking […]

Review: The Party Worker

March 29, 2019October 13, 2020 No Comments

Rating: 4.5 Stars Omar Shahid Hamid is a Pakistani author who I rate very highly. If you want to read about the real Karachi, then his books are the ones you should pick up. Of course, his books show the underbelly of this multi-layered, multi-cultural city, and are only reflective of the shady side of […]

Review: Where The Crawdads Sing

T. Akhtar
February 21, 2019October 13, 2020 No Comments

Rating: 4.25 Stars I had been hearing so many good things about this book, that I was sure it was going to disappoint me. For one, the story seemed like something I could never get excited about, being set in the U.S of fifties and sixties, and for another, everyone kept harping on about how […]

Sunday Musings: Reading Makes us Judgmental

T. Akhtar
February 17, 2019October 13, 2020 No Comments

When it comes to the type of books another person reads, I will be the first to admit that I judge them. I make assumptions about individuals just because of their reading habits. This person has so many biographies in their bookshelf, they must be really boring; oh, there are so many religious books in […]

Review: The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle

T. Akhtar
November 14, 2018October 13, 2020 No Comments

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: 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: Stardust

T. Akhtar
September 30, 2018October 13, 2020 No Comments

Rating: 4 Stars Stardust by Neil Gaiman follows Tristran Thorn as he sets off on a quest to find a fallen star; and not just a random fallen star, but the one that his beloved Victoria Forester saw falling! Tristran Thorn, born under strange circumstances, and brought up in the very boring and sleepy English […]
