📖

📖

My Views - We all are very familiar with Sherlock and Devdas and their stories. In this book also they play the same role as they are famously known as. But the author has brought them together to make a unique storyline. In this story also Devdas is a rich person who has drowned himself in alcohol to forget his one true love Paro. Where as Sherlock is a new detective who has an exceptional deduction capability. But the main twist here is that Devdas here had to auction his family heirlooms and those mysteriously got stolen and Sherlock was appointed to solve this mystery. The author has beautifully portrayed both the characters differently without changing their original key attributes. 

.

The storyline is full of twists and turns and the climax is really unpredictable. Both the characters support and compliment each other. The story starts in a very mysterious way and along the wayit again merge with the main storyline to give the story a perfect closure.

.

All the characters of the book are beautifully designed and very important for the story to go further. The language is quite easy.

.

Overall a very interesting thriller.

Journey to the Island of Dolls

Author - Banasmita pati

📖

📖

Content - Lucy and Norky for their thesis, they chose mexican and Aztec culture and to take a survey and make their data, they went to Mexico. Recently Lucy comes to know about " Isla-De-Las-Muñecas aka Island of the Dolls which has become a worldwide attraction. Lucy and Norky went there despite the warnings of local people, to have a chat with the only man reside there. But whatever happened there was beyond everyone's darkest dreams.

.

Read the book to get the full creepy vibe.

📖

📖

My Views - We all more or less know about the "Island of the Dolls" in Mexico where decaying and disfigured dolls hang from trees. The Island is rumoured to be haunted. The story is basically based on this island. In the first few chapters ,the story is building, so the pace is slow and there are some new words and Spanish words. So, it can take a little time to get into the story but once the story takes pace, the storyline is very interesting and creepy as well. One will definitely get goosebumps reading the story. 

.

The narration is smooth and the eerie feeling is there throughout the book. 

.

Overall a very creepy yet enjoyable read. Definitely waiting for the second part.

My Views - The plot is really interesting and apt for today when we all are glued to internet and social media has become an integral part of our life and being stalked over social media has become a headache for many.This boo will surely make you glued to the book .Though you may understand who the real culprit is but still the excitement and anxiety never goes.This is a short book you can finish in 1 sitting and it has all the elements to make you sit and finish it.The language is simple and narration is to the point.

But the main drawbacks are that the page quality of the book is really low and there are many mistakes in the book which need some serious editing.

My Views - 'Kavach of Surya' is the sequel part of the book 'Karna's alter ego'.Though I didn't read the first book,I didn't have any problem understanding this one.This part can totally be read as a stand alone.The narration is smooth and engaging.The treasure hunting part and the action part both are very engaging and you can not keep the book down.The characters are well built.The language is also simple.

.

However the cover could be a little bit more interesting.It doesn't quite match with the content.

.

Overall a very good interesting read.Totally recommended..

My Views - The book is about stealing a famous painting 'Poppy Flowers' by vincent van gogh.Now the painting has really been stolen many times and is still missing.I love how the author has used real information instead of using some fake name.The story is medium-paced but keep the tension as it is.The narration and the characterization is good.I really like captain's character and the skill-set he possessed.He is master of disguise and a perfect plan maker. But he is not a cold-blooded killer.Other characters like Sylvia,an ex-escort now works as Udham's advisor,Damodar-Udham's right hand man,Hari Mohan Gupta- an honest SI ,these characters also played vital role to complete the story.The language is simple and you will not feel bored as the thrill is continued till last.  Overall a thrilling read. Recommended.
