BOOK REVIEW: SMOKE

BOOK REVIEW: SMOKE

Posted June 13, 2013 by @amanhimself in Reviews / 0 Comments

SMOKE by Nigel Bird I finished this book today. There is no doubt that it is a hard read if you’re a sensitive person. I mean to say it features Scottish gangland brutality, often to the young or to women, and there are scenes of dog-fighting. It’s not a fun read. However, it depends on what you want from your reading. It was quite a new way of fiction for me. This book was no delight for me, but it might turn out for you. I have not experienced with the author’s other works and I feel reluctant to judge him by this novella. I won’t be spoiler as it’s a short read. I would still recommend this in case you’re interested […]

AUTHOR OF THE MONTH- GEORGE BERNARD SHAW

AUTHOR OF THE MONTH- GEORGE BERNARD SHAW

Posted June 11, 2013 by @amanhimself in Books / 0 Comments

  Born in Dublin, Ireland, Shaw never took part in the Irish Literary Revival. He wrote over fifty plays and almost every one of them is dramatized. He started his career as a novelist and as a critic of music and drama. His interest in Henry George, Karl Marx and other social theorists led to his affiliation with the Fabian Socialists. In 1884, he among with few others founded the Fabian Society. There was a time he gave up everything to study Marxism. He spent his free time in the British Museum educating himself on Shakespeare and other great writers. Spiritually and morally he had the strength of  a giant, his passion for justice and his appetite for hard work. […]

SET IN DARKNESS: A BOOK REVIEW

SET IN DARKNESS: A BOOK REVIEW

Posted December 23, 2012 by @amanhimself in Crime & Mystery, Reviews / 0 Comments

SET IN DARKNESS by IAN RANKIN When did I first hear about Ian Rankin. Never, it was just a recommendation by the shopkeeper to whom I usually go for my book-shopping. Maybe he was just trying to earn a little extra for he had only one copy, but I am thankful to him. I still thank him today for making me read well written crime fiction books. Yes, Mr.Rankin know what to write and how, I have read almost half of his John Rebus’ series in past one year and half, and he never gets carried away, never off the mark, the plot would always be good, his protagonist, John Rebus, always satisfying the reader and that’s what makes you a good […]

THE SINS OF THE FATHER: A BOOK REVIEW

THE SINS OF THE FATHER: A BOOK REVIEW

Posted December 19, 2012 by @amanhimself in Reviews / 0 Comments

The Sins of the Father by Jeffrey Archer The Sins of the Father is the second book in a series called “The Clifton Chronicles,” written by Jeffrey Archer. As  soon as I finished reading ONLY TIME WILL TELL, which is the first book in the respective series by the same author, I was excited for the sequel. The sequel do pick up right where ‘Only Time will Tell’ left. It is self explanatory that both books should be read in the order they are written and then only, the other characters connection to the protagonist, Harry Clifton, will be understandable for the reader. In ‘The Sins of the Father’, which spans the years of World War II, Harry is desperate to […]
