ELEANOR OLIPHANT IS COMPLETELY FINE BY GAIL HONEYMAN


 This book was the one in hype for so long and I was super excited in reading this. But unfortunately I didn't get the hype that all others got but yes it is really a very good story .
It was totally a very deep story which someone will be living somewhere right at the moment and the thought of this forms a lump in my throat . Yes, the life of Eleanor Oliphant is tragically sad yet it is narrated in humorous way. I was laughing at many places.
This book talks about Eleanor Oliphant in her thirties who had a tragic childhood and is the brave survivor of it. She lives a completely isolated life and her loneliness completely sucks. One could in no way imagine such a life. She meets a singer and in first sight finds him to be the one made for her and to bring her out of her own life. Will Eleanor be able to come back to a normal life like others?The story unwinds her journey of dealing with the past and getting ready to face the future.
The writing of the story is so good. The level of humor is correctly portrayed and showed the sadness as well. The characters are only a few and is wonderfully plotted. Raymond of all is my favourite. The book was indifferent until the last where something unexpected appears and that was when I got to understand the intensity of what Eleanor was undergoing. Trust me it is worth reading.
The language was easy and had a very good flow for reading. The story gave me a message that I realize was that people deal with things that could be anything beyond our imagination. A single smile could be miracle in someone's life. The book was a very different experience for me not like those that I get crazy on but was a gentle read on the whole.

  BE BETTER BIT BY BIT BY NISHITH GOYAL Look who has found a wonderful self - help book...yes!! I am surprised that I'm impressed. For everyone looking for a book that will actually work and not just talk, you have Be Better Bit By Bit by Nishith Goyal. It has everything that a self - improvement newbie would truly need. This book is not another one which throws encouragements which feels good to read and not to implement. It made me implement the ideas without even knowing that I am doing those. Who wouldn't want such a motivation? This book didn't teach me what to do (which obviously should be decided by me) but it taught me how to do and why should I do which in turn makes me do them. Trust me guys, as the name denotes its going to be at a slow rate which gave me a trust that I am going to sustain forever in why I do. Self care is so misunderstood as a task but its not just that. Its a journey which we must take and keep travelling consistently. As time flies the results

BOOK SERIES REVIEW

THE CURSEBREAKERS SERIES BY BRIGID KEMMERER Reading has always been an inevitable hobby since my childhood and being that way, fairy tales are always special. Who doesn't love escaping what we know as reality and living in a magical land with mysterious and interesting creatures, witches, characters that we dream about, superpowers and what not?
