Review: Palomino

Author - Danielle Steel
Genre - Romance
No. of Pages - 323
Year of Publication - 1981
Rating - ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This book is certainly an underrated piece of literature. I picked up this book from the book fair just by reading the blurb at the back of it. I hadn't even heard much of the author before but it felt like the book was asking me to read it and I couldn't deny. It was my first Danielle Steel book and I became her fan after reading it. Despite being a romance fiction it was packed with twists and turns which I didn't see coming.

Samantha Taylor is devastated when her husband cheats on her for another woman who can give him something that Sam could never give, a child. Samantha is engulfed by the pain and the sense of being imperfect and less than another woman for whom her husband has left her.

 Her face is ashen, she does all her work but without her heart put in anything. Her friends and co-workers understand her pain and agony but they can't do anything to make her feel better. The agency gives her a four month vacation to rejuvenate herself and get over things.

 A hard working professional ends up on a ranch but it's for the good. She meets a man who can tame any horse on the ranch and enters a world or pure, eternal love.

The book doesn't end at this point. It is the point where it begins, that's the beauty of it. You will find yourself laughing, crying and even at some points, gaping at the words, trying to absorb the happenings.

 It won't be wrong if I say that it was "thrilling" at some points, unpredictable. I googled 'best books by Danielle Steel' and it wasn't even in the top 20. Such a shame. I admit that I haven't read much of her books but this one is surely an awesome book which deserves praise. If you are a Danielle Steel fan and haven't read this book yet, drop everything else and go read it! Thank me later.

Review: And Then There Were None

Author - Agatha Christie Genre - Thriller No. of Pages - 320 Year of Publication - 1964 Rating - ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Unlike my earlier reviews, this one is about a thriller. And actually a mind boggling thriller. This is one of those books which will keep you awake through the night with your mind bubbling with questions. A sure shot page turner. And the end will be something you could never imagine.  A mysterious person U.N. Owen invites ten people to his island for different purposes and so the blunder begins. People start dying without any possible explanations and the murderer could only be someone among them because they are the only people on the island. There seems no way they can escape the island and neither do they have any link to the outside world. The fear of death is hanging on their heads and no one is out of doubt. Every person is suspected. Any plans or strategies made to catch the murderer are futile in the end and the reason will become obvious when you read the epi

Review: Safe Haven

Author - Nicholas Sparks Genre - Romance No. of Pages - 432 Year of Publication - 2011 Rating - ❤️❤️❤️ After reading The Notebook , I had high expectations from any other Sparks' book. I wouldn't say that I didn't like this book. All in all it was an okay read. I liked Erin's character a lot. She is portrayed as an independent and brave woman and yes, intelligent too. Alex is a decent character who showcases the idealistic image of a single father who loves and cares for his children more than anything else in the world. And lastly, Kevin, who would like him when he is the self proclaimed villain? I guess no one. Erin moves to Southport, North Carolina after fleeing from her husband, Kevin's house. Erin fell in love with Kevin and they got married but just after a few years of marriage, Erin discovered how obsessed he is with himself and how he wants total control over her moves and her life.  She felt suffocated in his house. She wasn't even al

Review: The Notebook

Author - Nicholas Sparks Genre - Romance No. of Pages - 224 Year of Publication - 1996 Rating - ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ 'Noah and Allie'. I consider them the modern Romeo and Juliet. This was my first Sparks' novel and I literally fell in love with his writing after reading it. Characters, setup, plot, expression, I give this novel ten on ten for everything. I don't like reading ebooks personally but I had heard so much about this book that I couldn't wait to buy a paperback and downloaded the ebook. This book is a pure romantic fiction but it is not boring at all. The author has portrayed the characters of Noah and Allie so beautifully that you will certainly fall in love with them. The book opens with an old man giving his introduction while he heads towards a room. A room where he has been going for three years just to narrate the same story to a woman suffering from Alzheimer . The story he reads from his notebook is about Noah and Allie.  They meet each other whe
