SAINTS OF THE SHADOW BIBLE by IAN RANKIN- A BOOK REVIEW

Posted January 31, 2014 by @amanhimself in Books, Crime & Mystery, Reviews / 0 Comments

There is no doubt why Ian Rankin is one of the best crime fiction writer in all over Britain. And Certainly John Rebus is the “Sherlock Holmes” of modern crime fiction. Or I should say in clear words, certainly the best detective of modern crime fiction. The enigma which surrounds John Rebus is the essence a reader reading Rebus must feel. And Ian Rankin maintains that enigma, that aroma of mysteriousness consistently. He is doing for past 19 books. Not one Rebus I read, and felt discomfort. This is an art and Rankin is the master of this art of consistency in storytelling. I was once disappointed and sad when I read Exit Music which was once the last book […]

TOP TEN TUESDAY- TOP TEN AUTHORS OF 2013

Posted December 17, 2013 by @amanhimself in Books, Essay, MyWorks, Reviews / 0 Comments

With Top Ten Tuesday meme, I going to discuss Top Ten Authors I read in the year of 2013. I’ll start with number 10, MA JIAN, which I picked up randomly and was impressed by his style and the structure and organization of the context, though the length of the book, The Dark Road, was quite extensive. But in the end, I was glad I picked him up, and his style is unique and might seem satisfying to a reader if he reads Jian for the first time. The number 9 spot, I’ll give to GEORGE R. R. MARTIN, whose books I was trying to avoid from quite a long time but couldn’t resist anymore so I surrendered and I must say the series, A Song of Ice and Fire, is an impressive epic […]

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 […]
