The Autumn Sky - By Helen Pyke


Rating: 5/5

 Short Review: A nice, short read highlighting a major issue

 Detailed Review:

 This is an insightful short read which describes the psychological/emotional abuse of women through Julia, As truly stated in the book, it is so common and subtle at times that we even fail to recognize it. But as the author puts it - It must be acknowledged, worked upon, and not let to continue, has it been 2 years or 20. One must think about it, seek professional advice, and act now.

Rating: 3/5 Short Review:  A nice read with a sleepy middle Detailed Review:  <No Spoilers> To start with, 3 stars mean 'I liked it' but not 'loved it'. This is due to the immense drag in the middle of the book. This must be the first Dan Brown book in which I literally fell asleep in between! I woke up after thirty-minutes only to realize I'd passed out reading a Dan Brown! I just couldn't believe it, but sadly that's what happened. The reason for sleep - I felt the author was literally trying to 'show' the reader each and every detail (Issue = Too much detail) of the art forms, the museum, and places involved (most of them I have personally visited.) The descriptions write-up is very apt and great and the places chosen are immensely interesting, but that's not what I picked up the book for -> That is the issue, a big one. The story in between just goes off track on the spiral staircases or Gaudi's out of the world archit...

High Heels: The Year of Short Stories - May - By Jeffrey Archer

Rating: 4/5 A nice little mystery story that'll keep you hooked till the end. Nothing great about it, but a nice read while waiting in a queue, or if you're in a habit of reading just before you sleep and today you feel like reading a complete story for a change, rather than your ongoing novel.

Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind - By Yuval Noah Harari

Rating:  5/5 This is the first of its kind book which I read and let me tell you, it captivated my attention in the tantalizing details from the very beginning, when it all started. The 5 stars I present to this book (I did have a little tinkling to settle for 4, at times, for somewhere in the middle, it got a bit boring. But then... It was not all about that). What I loved about the book: -I've really been looking for answers to many questions (about life, about evolution, about - why it happened this way and not that), things, and events (such as Britain, how it was able to rule over such big empires, etc.) I never understood. Having all of it combined and presented in such a wonderful way was no less than a treat. - Not only this book gives a history of how it all happened, but it does also open up many avenues and offers some logical reasoning about the major historic and evolutionary events and why they happened that way and not in any other way. The good part is...
