Cecelia Ahern has been one of my favorite authors, and I’ve met her book in secondary school. My English teacher gave me her book called Where the Rainbow Ends as a present, and I was obsessed with the book. However, I’ve noticed that I didn’t read any of her books for a long time. This book is in my TBR. That’s why I chose it to listen. In the beginning, I was disappointed with the plot, which didn't appeal to me. Later on, I’ve liked the bond between the daughter and father. However, this book isn’t my cup of tea. I think there are so many plot holes. The best book of her is still ‘Where the Rainbow Ends’ for me.

According to him, people with character are very excluded in this era. At the beginning of the work, this Underground Man begins to tell by saying that he is a sick man. The intellectuals of this century are suffering from this disease. There are also those who boast about this disease. The Underground Man, like a doctor, made his own diagnosis himself. He is trying to cure himself. The condition he complains about the most is the feeling of awareness . He is a man who has reached the age of forty, but has not been able to interfere with the forties, he has always been marginalized. The fact that he is so full of anger is a big part of the fact that he cannot be included among people. Dec. He talks about the greatest pleasures in pain.

Japanese "Kensei" or "Sword Saint," undefeated dueler, masterless samurai and independent teacher Miyamoto Musashi wrote this book briefly before his death. The book must be read diligently since every sentence has two meanings. One is actual advice for a fighter and the other is about the warrior mentality, which is something everyone can benefit from. As people living in modern age, one must focus on the metaphorical meanings and grand life advices in this book. In the book, Musashi explains the Way, and how one should pursue the Way. The words used for "Way" is the same character for Chinese "Tao" - the absolute principle underlying the universe, combining within itself the principles of yin and yang and signifying the Way, or code of behaviour, that is in harmony with the natural order.  Musashi lived a life of warrior, he was born to a samurai family, the elites of Japanese society. His lifetime corresponds to the time when Japan was ridden with civil war, trying to unify itself. So Musashi fought in the wars and duelled with other skilled swordsman. In his lifetime other than participating in wars, he participated in duels. Between ages thirteen and twenty-nine, he participated in sixty duels in total and won all of them. His name became a legend as the undefeated ronin. At one point, he stopped using actual swords and only used wooden swords and still won every fight as his technique was masterful. In the last two years of his life, he lived in a cave and contemplated everything. Even though he was a great master, he did not open a school, but instead he focused on his study of the Way. There, he wrote Go Rin No Sho, or A Book of Five Rings. Soon after, he passed away. According to Musashi, he lived his entire life searching for enlightenment through the Way of the

I love the new interpretations of books or movies. This is why I love Marissa Meyer and her imagination on showing us her adjustments on classics. By classics I mean the princesses and in this one the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland. I believe I would love this book if I have read the original books first. I've tried to visualize everything by the movies I've seen, so it wasn't a success. I loved it because I love the evaluation of someone from good to bad, especially if someone is an old cruel queen that we all hate. the adventures she went through were the imagination of a person out of its original writer, a person like me, you, anybody. So these are not the truth according to Lewis Carol. But it's fiction, so everything is the truth here. So why I disliked it? Things were described in detail but at the same time I've realized that nothing was described. The world that as a reader we supposed to go into has lots of tea parties and a dumb king that shows up in every occasion to ask for hand in marriage. We can read what kind a material the girls dress has, we can read the colors of the flowers in the garden but there is no descriptipon of the general world. There are some characters that are currently living on Hearts, or Chess, or wherever it is. That's all the writer makes us know. Maybe I had to read the original books so I wouldn't need an explanation over a world that I couldn't get into. The characters were okay. I started liking Jest when writer changed the ropes she was holding, then the relationship between Cath and Jest went from mysterious to sickly in love. They had to fall in love for us to get a cruel queen but everything happened too fast. Once she was dreaming about him then she started kissing him. Adding to these, women was underrated.

This book portrays matured love between Nisha & Akash, the love that's beyond lust, the love that seeks only the inner soul & respect. Kudos Preeti. \m/ Nisha, the lady-lead, plumpy young solitary girl with no-boyfrnd(s) and no-dating histories faces a magnificent change in her life with that one invitation given by her boss at the place she works. Naive Nisha meets Samir Sharma, one pointable personality in the field that she's in (Tourism and Hospitality management) and dates him for his handsomeness & so-called gentleman-ism :P Circumstances snatches Nisha's job from the place where she worked previously and that's when she's offered to be Samir's Secretary. Oh yea, as expected they fall in love with the course of time and they're getting married. All of a sudden, Nisha's life takes a U-turn. Samir leaves a letter that he's leaving her because he doesn't want to burden himself with two kids amidst his busy carrier. He moves in with Maaya, a young-curvy woman. Devastated-agitated Nisha goes out of Samir's house and starts to earn by starting to cook for parties with the help of Akash, 6 years younger ex-colleague. Once again, there comes a twist. Akash falls for Nisha. He's ready to accept her for what she's and Akash is such a broad-minded, matured, loving man that he considers Nisha's children as his children. Nisha's decision is the rest of the story.
