GENRE: Non fiction

   

     "First of all,I have to admit that the cover is so pretty,just clean.I don’t have any other word to describe it.I was not sure of the title at first,but once I started reading the book it all made sense. How time and the chances in one’s life can change everything. This book is a autobiographical novel,which mainly focuses on important events on his life. From childhood to his older life,he shares the events that shaped him as a person,known to everyone now.
          The language is simple. The writing style of the book is really good,that you can picturise what he is describing,like his childhood home. This book is also so fun to read at times,when he talk about his childhood and the petty crimes he'd done. His life also shows that , luck also plays a major role in one’s life. His life also teaches us,with a well wisher and supporting relatives,one can get through any challenges. Apart from these he talked about journey  in law as a career. I don’t say that the book is so inspiring and all,but still this book will make you understand many things In life and to hold on to a particular moral,no matter what!"

YEAR OF PUBLICATION:2009
GENRE: Thriller

PLOT:This book is a sequel to Sidney Sheldon's Master of the Game.It continues with the same Kruger-Brent and who will be the chairman for this century old prosperous company;Lexi Templeton,the daughter of Alexandra or Max Webster,the son of Eve?

       A perfect title with a perfect cover.The language is not so difficult and the writing style is so engaging, making it a compelling read.I can't talk about this book without mentioning the characters in this.You'll love every character and you'll hate every character at the same time(if this makes sense?!),That's the beauty of the characters.You can't simply love or hate any characters.From Lexi Templeton to Max Webster.The cruelty and the rage of Eve and Lexi to get Kruger-Brent was on another level.It was one roller coaster ride,you can't stop reading it.The ending was abrupt but you can get it when you really know what Kate and Lexi would do in such situation!

      EVE BLACKWELL,I HATE YOU!!!

GENRE: Short stories

          
          This book contains 10 short stories,each of them ,different from others,Most of the short stories in this book are made into short films and had won several prestigious awards.This is one of the books,you’ll wish that the book could never end.I personally felt that.I don’t want to finish the book,I want to keep reading it! The language of the book might be quite difficult sometimes, especially for beginners but the writing style is so good and all the stories were really fast paced.Every story is different in genres and the message it is giving us.Some of them are based on true incidents.I really liked the fact that the author gives us a glimpse about the story and it’s background,also the awards it bagged.Since it is a collection of ten short stories,I’ll share my views on each story,
BLACK MAIL: This story is about Ravi, a aspiring young man who worked hard for his riches and a storm blew in his life after marriage.He was being blackmailed and to know what happens after that,you have to pick this book up.Being the first story it really surprised me with its twists and turns.

A TICKLISH AFFAIR:This is also a romantic story,I was not impressed by the blurb since it talked about extra marital affair,but after read this one,this one became my favourite of all.After all it is not an affair but  affaire de coeur!(Read this one to find out!)
THE KIKAR TREE: This story stars with how a single Kikar Tree saved the life of Ramhet,a poor farmer and ends up how superstitiously people believe certain things and how some so called ‘Gurus’ taking advantage of that.
AGNATES AND COOGNATES:This shows the reality of today’s world where money is mattered much more than relations, even superstars are not an exception to being an victim for that.
