The grand finale of a grand series... May be it’s true about the grand size of the book ;) Like most of the thick books ( from Harry Potter to very Indian Alchemy Of Desire ), here too the focus and pace are on stake at times. It may not be intentional. The author has so much to tell and this is the last chance for him. So he tried to put everything at once. May be he badly wanted to use the extra effort he put down for the research, or a point or two which crossed his mind, or just want to ensure the reader and he on the same, by giving a little brief explanation about few points...
This is a first-hand feel of the books we read. Not into technicalities, but as readers what we think about the experience - that is the book. Your views are welcome...

My scientist friend Jomy Joseph told me about this book first. For him,
it was the most inspirational book ever read and he keeps a copy with
him always, even on his travel abroad, along with his bible! I heard
similar stories from others too. That's how I read it this book for the
first time, it was a few years back. Now when I picked it again, I found
the content and meaning of this book in a new level, new light... And
the book still at it best in inspiration...

എം ടി - രണ്ടാമൂഴം

Bijith :|: ബിജിത്
എല്ലാവരും വളരെ നല്ലത് എന്നു പറയുന്ന പുസ്തകങ്ങള് ഞാന് പരമാവധി ഒഴിവാക്കാറുണ്ട്. എനിക്ക് മനസ്സിലാവാത്ത എന്തെങ്കിലും കാരണം കൊണ്ടാകും അവ നന്നാവാറു എന്നത് തന്നെ കാരണം. രണ്ടാമൂഴം എന്റെ ശേഖരത്തിന് മുതല്ക്കൂട്ടാവട്ടെ എന്ന് കരുതിയാണ് വാങ്ങാന് അച്ഛനോട് പറഞ്ഞതും. ആദ്യത്തെ അദ്ധ്യായം വായിച്ചപ്പോള് ഇത് ഭംഗിക്ക് വക്കാന് ഉള്ളത് തന്നെ എന്ന് തീര്ച്ചപ്പെടുത്തി ഞാന്! പക്ഷെ, രണ്ടാമത്തെ അദ്ധ്യായം വായിച്ചു തുടങ്ങിയപ്പോള് ഒന്നെനിക്ക് മനസ്സിലായി, ഇത് വായിക്കാതെ കീഴെ വക്കാന് ആവില്ല!!! മാത്രമല്ല, ഈ കഥ ഇതില് കൂടുതല് ലളിതമായി പറയാനും ആവില്ല!

R K Narayan - Malgudi Days

When I saw Malgudi Days on Flipkart's special offer rack, I didn't think twice to order it. I was not aware of the content but heard a lot about it and the TV series based on it, and whatever I heard was good. It was light hearted innocent stories, as promised, but did I like it... I will say - in parts.

Jeffrey Archer - The Sins Of The Father
As Read By
Bijith :|: ബിജിത്
I was angry with Jeffrey Archer to finish the first book of The Clifton Chronicles, Only Time Will Tell so abruptly. It was like stopped in mid-sentence, not knowing where it ends or where it leads. And this one, the second offering - it takes the ending to a new level, a totally brutal one. It is not mid-sentence, it is in mid-trial the book ends ! Literally.
