must read for every person who is a fan of living a simple life amidst of nature, tea and little gossip.

I visited Dehradun in my thoughts whilst reading (listening) to this amazing work of Ruskin Bond. After reaching the end, I felt like I am experiencing everything that has been described here and I am a part of it.

Must read for every Telugu person. Every poem will teach a way of life, handling situations and top of everything, sticking up to the right thing.

Definitely a must read for every person,shows how much it is traumatizing to be stalked, especially by a person whom you personally/ professionally know. This letter is the proof of how someone's obsession over you can make you force to change your lifestyle, profession and everything else altogether, just to be safe. This has to be shared and empower yourself to speak up against such behaviours around you. Very insightful and inspirational.

Let your inner child evolve while reading this book.

Regardless of their age, Every person who shares their love for reading must read this book.
Definitely a perspective changer.
The only problem reader faces while reading "little prince" is behaving and thinking like the "grown-up's" as mentioned in the book. If you let your inner child evolve during the read, Then it definitely is a perfect read. By the end of it, you may as well start believing in magic.

Few thriller short stories which has the supernatural involvement in between will keep you hooked till the end of every story. If you're a beginner in reading the thrillers then you'll thoroughly enjoy the book but if you're a hardcore thriller reader and regular agatha Christie reader then you can guess the story beforehand itself.

That one star is for the title of the book. Nothing new or nothing exciting.

I'm feeling like all this while, when I haven't read this book, that time of my life was wasted partly. I was too late. Don't be me. Just stop whatever you are reading now and grab this book right away if you haven't read this book.

I was literally in tears after a lot of time, about a book. I'm not an emotional person, I cry very very rarely but this book made me cry. I was crying in my room in a fetish position holding this book when my mom walked in, and I had to lie to her about what I was crying, or let's put it like being emotional. Because my mom is certainly not a fan of "crying over fictional characters, be it a movie or a book." So inorder to escape the scoldings, I had to make something up.

Why I was crying? Well, Charlie is one of those very rare characters, to whom I felt very related to, sometimes I felt like I was Charlie for various reasons. I don't think I'm even qualified to write a "can read" or "cannot read" review about "the perks of being a wallflower". That's why here's a glimpse of my experience while I was reading and when I finished, I wanted to hold on, yet I was eager to finish. Somehow, I managed to read this very "thin" and "simple language" book for a week. Yes, a week.

Just Stop going through reviews and don't waste anymore time, grab it away like right now. I think this should probably be on the list of "books you should read before you're 20." Wish there was such article with this book mentioned in it, then I certainly wouldn't have taken this much time to grab it and give it a read.

What I liked?

• The storyline of how communication gaps can end any relationship. Well penned.
• How the story is narrated from both the protagonists is something I really liked.
• How everything has been expressed in a raw manner.

What I didn't enjoyed?

• Grammatical errors every now then.
• The teenager mindset expressed in a somewhat overboard way. Was keep rolling my eyes throughout reading this book.

Conclusion:-

A light read go for it only if you have enough patience to go through so many grammatical errors and cliche dialogues of the protagonists.

My First Ever Murakami Read that has....

1) Took me longer than usual to finish... But the end result is awesome - because I love this.
2) Made feel relatable to a certain character right away (I took everything that happened with that character very very personally)
3) Kind of changed my defended and changed my perspective towards "forever love and taking care".
4) Exhausted me emotionally so much that the Hangover afterwards is still there. (It's been nearly 48 hours since I finished this)
5) Made me to, start a liking towards long - detailed letters, which Toru, the narrator and the protagonist writes throughout in the book.
6) Warned me enough to take a look at the world around me and the people sorrounding me, because we never know what are they going through.
7) Kind of pushed me to express myself inorder to keep myself safe from drowning in the ocean of depression.
8) Helped me become more empathetic towards others, not completely yet... I'm kind of still processing and working on this factor.
9) The storyline, simple and detailed language made me feel craving for more of it, also in that same time I felt this turning dark with every forthcoming chapter.

It's Complicated. Now I know what this "it's Complicated" relationship will be like. Because I'm having one with "Norwegian Wood".

Everyone should read this book atleast once in their lifetime, I wonder this is not the work of the author that he feels proud of. I guess I gotta explore other works as well. But... Definitely not reccommend for the people who are struggling to cope up with themselves, it'll you push more on to the darker side of life. Better take time and only pick it up when you are free of all the negativities (or the major affecting) of your life.

Happy Reading.

Sakthi is the first warrior women of her time, and is a chosen one to save the world and fight against evil by destiny.

As the story progresses, sakthi's character also develops and keeps the reader hooked until the end. Since all the other characters also feel real, there wouldn't be a sign or boredom whilst reading it. Every action that takes place, comes as surprise to the reader.

The flow of writing is very engaging and lucid, with great Vocabulary. Though there were some grammatical errors, which could be overcome in the possible next editions.

Here are my 4 reasons why you should read sakthi:-

• the map attached in the beginning of the book explaining the world acts as an anchor to the reader's imagination.
• the engaging yet gripping storyline.
• A very strong female protagonist that represents a hindu goddess (well, hindu mythological fiction).
• A cliffhanger that could make you wait for the next book eagerly.

Do I recommend this?
Yes, Absolutely. Go for it if you're a mythological story lover.
