I started late on books but I started it for good. I love my time with books. But still feel bad for all the lost time in the past. Its never too late though..

    Just One Look

    The plot line is too familiar to Harlan Coben's 'The Woods' and the twists towards the end were a little to expected and predictable. 'Just One Look' is not one of Coben's best...at least not my favorite.

    The God of Small Things

    'The God Of Small Things' - A debut title that doesn't give away the genre of the story, had won the Booker Prize in 1998. That was why I picked this book and kept it waiting on my shelf. I wanted to relish it at leisure, tastefully savoring the hype that it has gathered over the years. Relish I did, every metaphor that Arundhati Roy had carefully chosen to paint the scene live in front of our eyes. The rich frothy vocabulary that blended in smoothly without being forced upon and yet not complicating the narration keeps the reader hooked till the end. I've been to Kerala a couple of times but none of those visits made me experience God’s own country like this book did. The earthen smell of the river banks, the blue sky, dancing palms, the aroma of coconut oil, it is all there described in the minute detail possible. I loved this book for all these and more. But too much of detailing, which was a treat in the beginning, did sometimes bring a satiation feeling, especially as the story progresses. Nevertheless, it is a great work of fiction but Booker Prize really? I will never understand the criteria for nominations and victory of prestigious awards like Booker Prize just like I couldn't figure why ‘Slumdog Millionare’, though a great movie, won so many Oscars in 2008. Maybe I will. The day I take my reading habit beyond entertainment, perhaps as a vocation by itself, then maybe I will.
