REVIEW: The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks

REVIEW: The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks

Posted April 11, 2017 by @amanhimself in Books, Reviews / 0 Comments

My Rating: 4/5 Published in 1984, The Wasp Factory is quite a grim and startling story about 16 year old Frank Cauldhame. It was the first ever book by Scottish author Iain Bank. Sometimes I wonder, what if we somehow know that everything is coming to a definitive end and there is limited amount of Time is left in our hands. What will we do? What will I do?

REVIEW: Curtain: Poirot’s Last Case by Agatha Christie

REVIEW: Curtain: Poirot’s Last Case by Agatha Christie

Posted February 7, 2017 by @amanhimself in Book Reviews, Books, Crime & Mystery, Thrillers / 0 Comments

I must confess the Hercule Poirot is not one of my favourite detectives. Not even close. But that’s personal opinion. What I enjoy most Poirot’s cases or I must say, Agatha Christie’s writing is the how the cases unfold in the end after reaching the climax. This book has a brilliant ending, that’s all. No spoilers. I enjoy her writing which never fails to create a tension on the reader to get to the end of it. And Then There Were None is the best case scenario.

Rebus is back. And he’s not getting old, age seem just a number for him and his creator, Ian Rankin. He’s 21 books old now. Rather Be The Devil is the new entitlement released on November, 3rd. When I heard earlier this year that Ian Rankin has rejected to my request for an interview with for a third time in three years, I thought, ‘Oh Boy!

But curiosity is a disease and when one’s neurone start sending the type of electrical signals, the giant awakens. […]

THE WRITING PART Q. Thank you for agreeing to this interview. Briefly, about yourself? I have always loved to write, even as a child and I always aspired to become a novelist. The Unwanted is the second book in a series called, Black Water Tales. Q. What genre are is/your book(s)? New adult, psychological horror. Q. What draws you to this genre? To me, horror feels more real than any other genre. I have always preferred real and true, no matter how dirty or uncomfortable. The situations in horror, life or death, kill or die, save them or save myself are the closest we come to seeing who we truly are in the deepest places of our psychic and physical […]

REVIEW: The Games/Private Rio by James Patterson & Mark Sullivan

REVIEW: The Games/Private Rio by James Patterson & Mark Sullivan

Posted July 22, 2016 by @amanhimself in Books, Reviews, Thrillers / 0 Comments

I am not a fan of Private Series but this book, Private Rio or famously known as The Games has forced me to rethink my paradigm about the series. In past, I have accused James Patterson and his co-authored books being not upto the mark once, or may be more but Private Rio or The Games, if you prefer, definitely raises the bar of my expectations from him and his works. If you are familiar with Patterson’s style of writing you can rightly expect the chapters being short in format and plot be fast paced to create a sense of thrill among its readers. The idea behind this genre is all about the reader to keep guessing of what will […]
