Review: The Murder of Roger Ackroyd

Author - Agatha Christie
Genre - Thriller/Mystery
No. of Pages - 368
Year of Publication - 1926
Rating - ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I can never help loving Christie's work. And I am never disappointed or bored by a single page of her books. I read this book having an assumption that this time I would be able to guess the climax and the ending.

But I was totally astonished by the climax. I actually gaped at the pages with disbelief. The ending of this book is unimaginable, however hard you try. If you want to read classics but don't know where to start, start with a Christie's novel. I assure you, you will never get disappointed.

I had randomly picked one of her books at the book fair once and since then I have enjoyed reading her work.

 The protagonist of this book is Dr. Sheppard and also, the accomplice of Hercule Poirot in this murder mystery. Dr. Sheppard receives a call just after he returns from a meeting with Roger Ackroyd. The mysterious caller breaks the news of Roger Ackroyd getting murdered. And so the mystery begins. Hercule Poirot is sure that the murderer is an insider, someone personally connected to Roger Ackroyd and that all of the people who were present at the time of murder are holding something back. Everyone is having some secret. And Poirot is determined to uncover them all.

 As I mentioned earlier, the ending of this book will leave you spellbound.
And strangely every thing will make sense. Just remember while reading this book: Trust no one.

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...

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: Before I Go To Sleep

(Contains Spoilers) Author - SJ Watson Genre - Thriller No. of Pages - 368 Year of Publication - 2011 Rating - ❤️❤️❤️(3.5) I admit, this book had me guessing till the end. And the ending wasn't something that I saw coming.  I found this book far more thrilling than 'The Girl On The Train' which was somehow predictable for me. In the beginning, I didn't have even a speck of hint or clue about the climax. That's the thing that kept me glued to this book and I read it by spending my one whole day. I won't say it was a "proper page turner". I had some difficulty in reading the starting one-third part of it because it wasn't much appealing and things were repetitive. But it took a pace after around half of it was read. And the climax was excellent. The book revolves around a woman named Christine Lucas who is suffering from amnesia. She is living from moment to moment without having any idea about her past or future. Her case of amnesia is ...
