Book Review (on demand of the Author)—The Name of Red, Authored by Beena Khan

I picked this book as the author directly reached out to me and asked to give it a review. At first I didn’t know if I would enjoy it, but when I started reading it, the impressive starter grabbed my attention—“Not “everything beautiful is long-lasting,” and seriously, it was the point where I realised it was my type of book. It was not an ordinary fiction.

The beautiful yet realistic line led me towards an imaginative journey in this book.

The plot is very simple yet tempting. The story is excellently narrated and pleases the senses or mind aesthetically, and somewhere in the story, I felt the touches of reality; I found something close to actuality, which made it more magnificent. I loved the characters.

It is something far beyond the literature zone. When I ended, I came to know that this was all fictitious and the cruel reality still exists out there to deal with.

This book is a good escape from reality. Thank you, Beena, for giving us such a wonderful story.

Highly Appreciable and Recommended.

 

BERNICE TAKES A PLUNGE

When the author reached out to me to review this book, I was not sure if my experience would go well with this mystery, as I had never read such, but later I found myself going in depths of unknown hidden beautifully under words. I became so much engrossed in the adventures of the characters, and behind the tale I discovered a lesson, which was to remain determined, courageous, and fearless of facing disasters lying ahead of life; no matter what you are going to face, never be fearful and take the plunge.

When I started reading this, I couldn’t put it down. I liked Bernice’s character—so colourful, lovable, and narrated so beautifully. Her adventures made me love her character so much.

This adventurous tale makes me want to read more of that.

A good tale to read. Highly recommended. 

 

Top Down Day

I picked up this book when the author reached out to me directly and asked to review it. Thank you, Nicole Overby, for offering me this wonderful opportunity. This book left me in tears. I felt the real pain while reading this, and at most of the points, I felt each character’s pain. My journey through this one’s personal tragedy and great loss was not easy; it shook me completely. I couldn’t put the book down, and tears continued rolling down my cheeks to the end of the book. I admire the author’s courage to replay it all and put it into words, which she has suffered through. I found this book really emotional yet captivating.

When I read this book, I found myself in between an emotional discussion over the loss of a loved one and a feeling of helplessness. It’s a truthful and heart-wrenching story, but it also helps a person with healing over an unexpected loss and makes us feel the pain of others.

I really appreciate your honest writing and am looking forward to reading more from you.

Highly Appreciable and Recommended.

My Shadowed Realm

I used to be the one finding the forever in the temporary things, ignorant of the cruelties, or in other words, the realities of the world. The mansion I created myself years ago was unaware of the pains the world gives at different times; neither was I given one nor ever attempted to go in-depth. Unmindful of the ferociousness, I kept heading forward, never knowing if the world could ever throw me in the place from where I could have nowhere to move toward for refuge, nor any sign to make a journey, or it would standstill my life in the way I had never ever thought of. The fragile mansion couldn’t come to terms with the merciless outside world and got wrapped in the thunderstorm, which retained in the play to enfold everything that came in its way. Time came when life showed its darkest side, directed hurdles in my way to deal with, and kept snatching what meant the most to me. I dealt with the things, endured, and one after another, life catapulted blocks on my tracks. With time, I f...

Book Review - The Kite Runner

A fascinating, emotional, and well-constructed blend of imagination and reality has been delineated by the bestselling Afghan author Khaled Hosseini in his remarkable and most read book, The Kite Runner. The book consists of the overall classification of the Pashtun and Hazara communities, which build up and complete the Afghani society. Further, it depicted the universal tale of friendship amid two kids who were more than brothers—Amir and Hassan—living a profuse lifestyle in the rich district of Kabul and side by side vindication, cataclysm, social and political upheaval, complex and overlapping relationships that entangled them in the intricate connections, and most importantly, an intense hope. The kite festival, which is a tradition of Afghani culture, used to take place each year, and a single victor used to come up from the hundreds and thousands. There were those who were kite runners and others who fought the kites. Hassan and Amir are the main characters of the book; one was ...

When rumors dictate diplomacy, chaos follows

Covid-19—the fatal virus that made history—has also killed off a substantial fraction of the world’s population as the total cases rapidly climbed globally, and the rest are still in a life-threatening situation. Some of the states have managed to control the situation, including China and New Zealand, while on the other side, the death rate of some ill-fated nations like the United States of America, Pakistan, India, etc., is still high, and they are experiencing night terrors on a day-to-day basis. Moreover, even the world’s hegemon lacked good governance and was unable to switch towards maintaining and retaining influence and coping with the challenging conditions. The worst-hit nations somehow survived and, bit by bit, returned to normal life as the daily cases wind down. Furthermore, deeper conspiracy theories have been emerging and doing rounds since the start of this dangerous disease, which contributed to the huge level of deteriorating the crisis even more. These theories are ...
