Review: The Crossbow Code

The Crossbow Code The Crossbow Code by MC RAJ
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

History revealed, truth unfolds!

Book- The Crossbow Code
Author- MC Raj.

Review-

The book is all about politics, power, capitalism, dominance and what not. A source of knowledge of the world history answering the loop holes we have had reading history in classes.
A totally different picture of the father of the nation that are kept hidden behind the black and blue text in our history books.

The masquerade fell from filthy faces of the people who call them as follower of Jesus.

I personally loved the one liners or the text in Italics as the summary of the paragraphs and revelation of the deeper meaning hidden in it.
In author's style I would like to conclude, 'History revealed, truths unfolded.

The book had typos which is a common human error and repetition of terms like Pandora's box could have been avoided.

Reccomendation-Recommended to those who take a keen interest in world history and are ready to accept the truth.

Rating-4/5

Review: Behind The Curtain

Behind The Curtain Behind The Curtain by Ankit Gupta
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Book- Behind the curtain
Author-Ankit Gupta "Aseer"
Type- E-book
Synopsis- This book talks about different social issues, from the dark childhood to women bleeding blue, from female infanticide to burning her for dwory, the book takes you to the dark allies of India.
The book was originally written in hindi and then was translated in english by Ashiya Ansari and the job is well done.

Review- When you switch your mobile data off and then eventually end up putting it on flight mode so that you don't get disturbed while reading an e-book and reading it an hour before taking an exam is an act that tells it all.
As soon as I received the book I could not resist reading it and reading it all at once. I could not realize when the book ended as I kept on pressing the next button but the page did not flip.
All the poems were captivating and by the end of it I had damp eyes seeing my India captivated in the walls of these social issues.
They are beautifully weaved by "Aseer" and balanced with correct emotions.

There were two typos that I could see but then human error is unavoidable.

A must read book on the issues that is burning India.
Rating- 4.5/5

Review: Love Forever @ Rajpath

Love Forever @ Rajpath Love Forever @ Rajpath by Kalpana Mishra
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Book- Love forever@ Rajpath
Author- Kalpana Mishra.

Synopsis- The story is based in Delhi and revolves around the lives of Shalini and Kartik, who eventually happen to work in the same government office and destiny make the cupid strike the arrow of love on them.

Review- The story is beautifully woven in the government office but its not just an usual love story. The story also highlights some common problems that we usually don't ponder upon, one being absence of public washrooms for women.
Later the story also talk about forceful marriage, 'Jabra bihah' that happens in Bihar which is not known to a lot of people.
I found the story to be different and interesting. It is away from the mushy love stories that are the everyday affair today and boring.
Its a readable treat for those who are bored of the teenage love story and want to read a sensible story with a strong plot.

Ratings- 4/5

Review: You Are the Best Wife

You Are the Best Wife You Are the Best Wife by AJAY K PANDEY
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Some books are read once and remembered forever, "You are the Best Wife" is one of such books.
"You are the Best Wife" by Ajay K Pandey is a journey of two people who lived their lives in countless moments.
The book is written beautifully which makes the reader laugh till page170 and page 171 onwards worry, pain agony and tears drive at first gear and in the end it finishes giving a positive message which is the most admiring part.
I have never cried while reading a book before, I have surely shed a few tears but I cried for the first time.
Personally, I cannot criticise this beautiful journey of two people who were so in love.

A must read for those who have lost their faith in true love.

Review: Anything to Look Hot

Anything to Look Hot Anything to Look Hot by Jas Kohli
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Plot- The book revolves around the events from the life event of Dr. Dhruv who is a plastic surgeon.

Review: The book has many fun filled events recorded. I never knew the life of a doctor can even be so lively.
At one time even I wished to visit Dr. Dhruv to get myself corrected.I was so engrossed reading it that I didn't want to keep it down once I started.

The only spoilers were the grammatical errors else the book was a joy ride in itself.

Book review- Hero- The Unsung Rockstar- Pratham Devang

"Hero- The unsung rockstar" by 'Pratham Devang'.
Plot- The story revolves around Abhimanyu's life but the hero is his father who does all he needed to do as a father leaving Abhimanyu perplexed.
When the market is full of love affairs, here is one book with different and realistic plot, one that bounds you to give a thought and talk to your inner self.
Review- The book showcases the emotions of both father and son perfectly, where the son yearns for freedom from the dominances and stubborness of the father, the father tries to protect his son from all the evil outside and inculcate all the values in him which in long run help him grow big in his life.
It is very easy to ask our parents, "What have you actually done for me?" but do we really deserve to get an answer, of course no. We can never repay our parents for what they do for us and this book make that clear in our mind. Our parents are really no less than the super hero whose glory remains unsung.

Just a few typesetting errors were spotted like the spot on a moon else it is surely worth a read who wants to read something different from romance and chick flicks.

Kudos to you Pratham, tears and smile both adorned my face at the same time, that is what I was saying..:)
