What would you do if destiny twisted the road you took? What if it threw you to a place you did not want to go? Would you fight, would you run or would you accept?

“Life is What You Make it” is a story few significant years of Protagonist -Ankita’s life, set across 2 cities in India in 80′s and divided in 2 parts:
I. Love Story
II. Illness Story

I. Love Story
She moved from Delhi to Cochin after her school due to her father’s job location change and joined St.Agnes girl college. Meanwhile, She misses her best friend Vaibhav, who is in Delhi and communicating with him through long letters (remember 80′s). Ankita is young, good looking, smart and which makes her General Secretary of Arts in her college. In Annual Culture Festival, She meets Abhi and both becomes friends. Gradually Abhi falls in Love with Ankita but for further study, Ankita denied to keep in touch with him and moved to Mumbai for MBA along with her family.

II. Illness Story
She is good ranker, very much aggressive in her MBA but gradually she becomes patient with Bipolar Disorder and admitted to Mental Health Hospital.

Author dared to pick-up mental disease subject while writing fiction is respectable but failed to maintain continuity between 2 parts (Love and Illness). Story says, “How Ankita feels about Vaibhav, Abhi, Other friends and college” but failed to communicate with reader due to lacking of depth.  It looks like, Story is about “What they are talking”, not on “What they are thinking or feeling”.

Personally, I didn’t like first part of book but later part is good. This book is not for all. If you like reading some heavy subject then pick-up this book.

Book Reivew : Eclipse

1 Comment Posted by on May 10, 2012

Every day morning, when I access my laptop for first time, I check state of my blog and feel happy for more 15-20 hits (small blog with typical book review content, you know :) ). Next to state check, I go through ratings followed by comments (and mostly I find spam comments :( ). I improved my blog in many ways after very first post which added some more hits in my pocket. Every Sunday, I think that I will write everyday with some extra-ordinary content and every Saturday, I end-up with same typical book review (Writer’s Block, who knows??) or some time end-up with no more post (because writing involves pain?) or some time spending more time on watching Likes/Comments on my Facebook updates/photos instead of doing some fruit-full (and I know, there will be no more likes and still wait and then hate “Like” as others :) ). But I do one thing every day and it becomes like part of my life. Read novel, others’ view on that novel and Freshly Pressed blogs and all these three excites me to write book review asap on its completion. This time, I’ve completed Twilight Eclipse written by Stephenie Meyer.

Name: Eclipse
Author: Stephenie Meyer
Genre: Fiction
Language: English
Pages: 559 (Paperback)
Awards: -
Movies: Twilight Saga – Eclipse
Preceded By: New Moon
Followed By: Breaking Dawn
Buy: Flipkart, Amazon
My Rating:

Started: 1st May, 2012
Completed: 7th May, 2012
Total Reading Hour: 30-34 Hrs

Story Behind Cover (source=”Wiki”): The book cover features a torn red ribbon. The broken ribbon represents choice, as in the book Bella must choose between her love for the vampire Edward Cullen and her friendship with the werewolf Jacob Black. Meyer also stated that the ribbon represents the idea that Bella is unable to completely break away from her human life.

I like this book for some strong reasons: Conversation, Self-thinking. I observed that, we lost art of conversation (and agree with Journalist Caitlin Kelly who written blog on same topic) but Meyer covered art of conversation very well. Conversation between Bella and Jacob – a friendly conversation, Conversation between Bella and Edward – a romantic conversation, Conversation between Edward and Jacob – a healthy conversation, conversation between Bella and Alice – a transparent conversation, conversation between Bella and Charlie – a family or protective conversation. Conversation – What a thoughtful process. It might be in right direction or in wrong direction. It might be truth or lie or manipulated but always give heads-up, give new directions, resolves many issues rather than creating new one (if its healthy one), shorter distance between 2 rather than expanding the distance.

Not only conversation, Self-thinking gives new freedom to thoughts, expands imagination, gives clear idea about someone, gives clear idea about “what is right” and “what is wrong”, gives opportunity to understand someone, gives opportunity to make right which is wrong or convert wrong to right in some ways, gives chance for self-control, provides opportunities to understand others’ feelings. Meyer depicted all characteristic of Self-thinking amazingly of course through Bella which makes Bella’s character more fascinating. It always difficult to characterized someone who is good in self-thinking (or say always talk with himself/herself), right? Kudos to Stephenie Meyer. Not only characterized, playing same character in movie is also difficult part and Kristen Stewart did amazing job. Kudos to  Kristen Stewart.

Apart from Bella, Meyer improved some more characters like Edward, Jacob, Alice, Jasper, Billy and Charlie. I loved Alice and Jasper very much in this book. Alice character always attracted me because of her simplicity. She is charming, mature with fun loving nature and always dancing when she wants to do something different with Bella  when she knows, Bella is going to freak out :) . Ashley Greene portrayed Alice character perfectly in movie with no doubt.

When you read book, you can feel selfishness of Jacob. Indeed his selfishness is right as everything is fair in Love. Bella loves Jacob but she loves Edward more than Bella but cannot see Jacob in trouble as she cannot see Edward in trouble. Edward is still cool and more mature . Edward and Jacob both love Bella but their style is different. One (Jacob) want his Love anyway (but not parting Bella) while Other (Edward) gives freedom to Bella to choose among him and Jacob. As per Bella, Edward is unselfish while as per Jacob, he is manipulative.  Meyer written story such a way that you can imagine what Bella and Jacob are thinking but I think, she shown Edward always through Bella’s eye or Jacob’s eye, so reader cannot decide whether Edward is really unselfish or manipulative(but still I feel, this book is worth of 5 ratings).

The story opens with the revelation that Seattle, Washington is being plagued by a string of murders, which Edward suspects is caused by a new born vampire that is unable to control their thirst. As Edward and Bella apply to colleges, Bella explains to Edward her desire to see Jacob Black – a werewolf. Although Edward fears for her safety, Bella insists that neither Jacob nor his wolf pack would ever harm her and she begins visiting him occasionally. On one of these visits, Jacob tells Bella that he is in love with her and wants her to choose him instead of Edward, but Bella says she just sees him as a friend. To that, Jacob forcibly kisses her and she reacts by punching him in the face, breaking her hand while not even leaving a scratch on him.

Meanwhile, Alice Cullen has a vision that Victoria, a vampire who is hunting Bella for revenge, has returned to Forks. A few days later, Edward proposes to Bella and, despite harboring an aversion to marriage and she accepts. Bella and the Cullens soon realize that the Seattle murders are being committed by an “army” of newborn vampires controlled by Victoria. The Cullens join forces with the wolf pack to combat this threat. As everyone else prepares for battle, Edward, Bella and Jacob camp in the mountains, hidden during the battle, where they are later joined by Seth Clearwater – a young wolf pack member – to wait out the fight.

In the morning, Jacob becomes upset when he overhears Edward and Bella discussing their engagement and threatens to join the fight and get himself killed. Bella stops Jacob by kissing him, and she comes to realize that she is in love with him as well. During the battle, Victoria tracks Edward’s scent to Bella’s forest hiding place, and Edward is forced to fight. Edward manages to kill Victoria and her vampire army is destroyed. Afterwards, Bella explains to Jacob that while she loves him, her love for Edward is greater.

Some quotes from Book:

  • I am Switzerland. I refuse to be affected by territorial disputes between mythical creatures.
  • The clouds I can handle. But I can’t fight with an eclipse.
  • I promise to love you forever – every single day of forever.
  • I’m gonna fight for you, until your heart stops beating.
  • I coveted you. I had no right to want you–but I reached out and took you anyway. And now look what’s become of you! Trying to seduce a vampire.
  • You held out your hand, and I took it without stopping to make sense of what I was doing. For the first time in almost a century, I felt hope.
  • It’s something about the inevitability. How nothing can keep them apart–not her selfishness, or his evil, or even death, in the end…their love is their only redeeming quality.
  • You are safe inside your mind. No one can reach you there.
  • There are no rules that can bind you when you find your other half.

It’s well worth reading. Don’t Miss, Get it and read it.

“Brilliant…. Fascinating… Surreal”

If you have read review of other books on my blog, then you would know that I always complain about “Starting of Story” and” how new generation Indian Authors lacking in that skill”. As I believe, If starting is weak, most of reader put the book aside or left the book at some point. After long time (After The White Tiger and The Immortal of Meluha), I got such book which has beautiful (or perfect) starting as well as fascinating ending. Somehow, I feel effect of one of my favorite author Haruki Murakami‘s work in “The Lost Story”.

The authors, Amit Goyal and Sudhanshu Gupta, have adopted a unique style of writing where one author writing one half of the story and the second author finishing it without discussing the story in between.  Not only they adopted unique style but they push the envelope of creativity, by creating two protagonists author, Sandeep and Saleem, mirrored their technique of writing within the stories of story and I think, it gives delectable twist.

The Lost Story – A delicious assortment of intelligent short stories unfolding against the back drop of ever lurking darkness, that threatens to engulf the two story tellers, Sandeep and Saleem, at any given moment. The Lost Story is story about aspiring author Sandeep Gupta and his idol author Saleem Afzal– who left writing since last 23 years. Sandeep sends his first script to Saleem for review. After reading the script, Saleem calls Sandeep and decided to work with him on his last book which will be a collection of short story.  Each story belongs to a different genre ranging from fantasy to romance to thriller amongst many others.

Some good lines from the book:

  • It’s better to be late than never.
  • If you focus on your mind on something, and want desperately for it to happen, then sometimes the mind materializes it for you.
  • Being treated as inferiors can either destroy your morale or drive you to do better.
  • You can always change their fate with a stroke of your pen.
  • Fear is not good for storytelling
  • Noone can escape gravity… sooner or later everyone, everyone must fall..
  • Life isn’t something that is entirely in your control.
  • Once you’re furniture, you start noticing small things about other piece of furniture.

This is the first book by Amit Goyal and Sudhanshu Gupta and I must say, I am really impressed by their writing. They tried something new and wrote this book intelligently.

It’s well worth reading. Go, Buy and Read.

Special Note: Very much thanks to Author Amit Goyal for sharing the book and giving me an opportunity to review the book.

Just Friends is funny, honest, sad and straight from the heart – “The Indian Express”

Through his debut novel, Sumrit tries to reflect the mindset of a teenage and the relationship shared between the modern day parents and their children.

I picked-up this book because I wanted to read something light after reading 2 parts of Twilight (Twilight and New Moon). Whenever we talk about romantic novel, we generally talk about Erich Segal or Nicholas Sparks or Nora Roberts. I never feel writing of Indian author at level of such authors. Most of time, I didn’t like starting or Ending in Indian author’s romantic novel writing. I think, it is most difficult part for Indian authors (Specially New author) to start something differently. Same thing (Bad thing?) applies to Just Friend. I didn’t like starting but gradually, I started liking the story. Good thing is lots of new Author started writing and reader got variety in Indian novels. If you don’t believe, then just check out your nearer seat on Railway Station or Bus Stand or Public Place. New Generation started reading such novels very much and which is good sign for Indian literature.

JUST FRIENDS – a story that revolves around the friendship between a girl and a boy. The same old question – whether a girl and a guy can be just friends because at the end of the day, a bond is formed- a bond so secure, a bond which makes us so habitual to each other.

Novel is all about 2 different story of 2 teenager Aaryan and Tanie, their growing up years in school and hostel. This is a story of Aryan and his best friend Boza, his lots of ex-girlfriends, his “so called” true and distance love Ishita, Up and down in love relationship. This is a story of Tanie (at some different place) and her best friend Sumer, her love Rehaan. Related instances of regular bunking, group studying, hostel tantrums, indulging in sports, examination fevers, friendships, crushes, first love and lust adds more flavor in author’s writing.

Synopsis of book is also says lot about Just Friends

He knows everything about her, right from her favorite books to her favorite bra.
She knows everything about him, right from his favorite soccer club to his favorite x rated websites.
He will complete her English homework, even at three in the night. She will arrange an Armani suit for him, even if it calls for flirting with ugly guys.
He has her picture in his wallet. She has his number on Speed Dial.
They talk to each other all the time. They talk about each other when they don’t talk to each other.
They discuss everything from periods to play station.
They have tasted alcohol and then thrown up…together. They have bunked countless tuition… together.
They cant live without each other. YET They don’t love each other.
They are JUST FRIENDS.

I will not say, its good book but still it refreshing. Author has shown good potential with his debut novel.

It’s well worth reading. Get it and read it.

Propelled by suspense and romance in equal parts, [this story] will keep readers madly flipping the pages – Publishers Weekly

New Moon is a romantic sequel of Twilight. The novel continues the story of Bella Swan and vampire Edward Cullen’s relationship. For Bella, there is one thing more important than life itself: Edward Cullen. Similarly, For Edward, Bella is more important than anything else. Edward has already rescued Bella from clutches of one evil vampire but on her birthday, when Edward’s brother – Jasper attacks her on her birthday, Edward realize that troubles may be just beginning and decides to leave Bella for nearer and dearer one. Bella is left heartbroken and depressed for months until Jacob Black becomes her best friend and helps her fight her pain. However, her life twists once more when Jacob’s nature reveals itself and Edward’s sister decides to visit.

Some quotes from Book:

  • My own life meant little to me today.
  • Despair momentarily vanished; wonder took its place. Even after half a year with him, I still couldn’t believe that I deserved this degree of good fortune.
  • Mistake after mistake. Could he have destroyed his own happiness any more thoroughly?
  • No matter what might ever happen to me, you are not allowed to hurt yourself!
  • I’ll never put you in danger again, so it’s a moot point.
  • You try very hard to make up for something that was never your fault. What I mean is, it’s not like you asked for this. You didn’t choose this kind of life, and yet you have to work so hard to be good.

You can read more quotes here.

New Moon is compelling sequel to Twilight. Author described thoughts of Bella amazingly. Truly, Passionate, riverting and deeply moving novel.  I am putting this novel in my favorite novel along with “The Kafka On Shore” by Haruki Murakami, “A Prisoner Of Birth” by Jeffrey Archer, “Kite Runner” by Khaled Hosseini, “Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho.

It’s well worth reading. Get it and read it.

Her story, recounted in hypnotic, dreamy prose, encapsulates perfectly the teenage feeling of sexual tension and alienation – The Times

The thrilling tale of a vampire romance at high school – Sunday Herald

Bella – Isabella Bella Swan – moves from sunny Phoenix, Arizona to rainy Forks, Washington to live with her father- Charlie, while her mother – Renée, travels with her new husband – Phil. Bella attracts much attention at her new school and is quickly befriended by several students. Much to her dismay, several boys compete for shy Bella’s attention.

When Bella meets the mysterious Edward Cullen, her life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. With his porcelain skin, golden eye, mesmerizing voice, Edward is irresistible and impenetrable. On first day of school, When Bella is seated next to Edward Cullen in class, Edward seems utterly repulsed by her. He disappears for a few days, but warms up to Bella upon his return; their new found relationship reaches a climax when Bella is nearly crushed by a classmate’s van in the school parking lot. Edward saves Bella when he instantaneously appears next to her and stops the van with his bare hands. Bella becomes determined to discover how Edward saved her life, and constantly pesters him with questions. After a family friend, Jacob Black, tells her the local tribal legends, Bella concludes that Edward and his family are vampires who drink animal blood rather than human. Edward confesses that he initially avoided Bella because the scent of her blood was too desirable to him. Over time, Edward and Bella fall in love.

Their relationship is affected when a nomadic vampire coven arrives in Forks. James, a tracker vampire who is intrigued by the Cullens’ relationship with a human, wants to hunt Bella for sport. The Cullens attempt to distract the James by separating Bella and Edward, and send Bella to hide in a hotel in Phoenix. There, Bella receives a phone call from James, who claims to be holding her mother captive. When Bella surrenders herself, James attacks her. Before James can kill her, Edward, along with the other Cullens, rescues her and destroy James, but not before James had bit Bella’s hand. Edward successfully sucks the poison from her bloodstream and prevents her from becoming a vampire, after which she is taken to a hospital. Upon returning to Forks, Bella and Edward attend their school prom, and Bella expresses her desire to become a vampire, but Edward refuses.

Page Turner, Deeply seductive and irresistibly compelling, Twilight is an extraordinary love story that will stay with you long after you have turned final page. I loved Kind, Awakward, Intelligent, observant Bella; Lovely, Supportive, Friendly Alice and Pessimist, Passionate Lover Edward.

Some Quotes from Book:

  • When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, it’s not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end.
  • Surely it was a good way to die, in the place of someone else, someone I loved. Noble, even. That ought to count for something.
  • My primary motivation behind buying a car, despite the scarcity of my funds, was that I refused to be driven around town in a car with red and blue lights on top. Nothing slows down traffic like a cop.
  • I do a good job of blocking painful, unnecessary things from my memory.
  • The thing, I thought to myself… it had possibilities — as a nickname, at the very least.
  • It was nice to be alone, not to have to smile and look pleased; a relief to stare dejectedly out the window at the sheeting rain and let just a few tears escape.
    Sometimes I wondered if I was seeing the same things through my eyes that the rest of the world was seeing through theirs. Maybe there was a glitch in my brain.
  • Good luck tended to avoid me.
  • I tried to be diplomatic, but mostly I just lied a lot.
  • I stared because their faces, so different, so similar, were all devastatingly, inhumanly beautiful.
  • I felt a surge of pity, and relief. Pity because, as beautiful as they were, they were outsiders, clearly not accepted. Relief that I wasn’t the only newcomer here, and certainly not the most interesting by any standard.
  • I was in disbelief that I’d just explained my dreary life to this bizarre, beautiful boy who may or may not despise me.
  • A low oath made me aware that someone was with me, and the voice was impossible not to recognize. Two long, white hands shot out protectively in front of me, and the van shuddered to a stop a foot from my face, the large hands fitting providentially into a deep dent in the side of the van’s body.
  • He unleashed the full, devastating power of his eyes on me, as if trying to communicate something crucial.
  • I tried to think of a logical solution that could explain what I had just seen — a solution that excluded the assumption that I was insane.
  • I don’t like to lie – so there’d better be a good reason why I’m doing it.
