Book Review: "TWILIGHT"

ni
BOOK REVIEW “Twilight”


Author: Stephenie Meyer
Genre: Fiction
Language: English
Pages: 434
Publisher: Atom Books
First Published: January 2006

‘Twilight’ is a first book of Twilight series. There are four books in this series by Stephenie Meyer. It is not only bestselling book and book series but also very successful on screen. Till now first three books are adapted into movies and which turned out to be huge grosser on box office. First movie was released in 2008 and last in 2010. So although I saw all these movies I could not stop myself from picking up this book and I think this book is lot better than the film adaption.
This book is actually introduction of all the characters. Author is just warming you up for the real action which is coming in the following novels. But still the book is interesting and entertaining on its own. In this book we will be introduced to seventeen-year-old Isabella "Bella" Swan, who moves from Phoenix, Arizona to Forks, Washington with her father Charlie. In new school she finds her love Edward Cullen who is a vampire. So this book is about their impossible relationship as although Edward loves Bella, he also can not resist the thirst for her blood.
Author handled romantic feelings of a teenager girl. The way she unraveled the Mystery around the Edward was also brilliant. But the climax of the book was the best when some other vampire wants Bella’s blood. And Edward and his Vampire family save Bella from him in a thrilling climax. Her style of writing is simple and uncomplicated. So I am very eager to read her next novels in this series which are ‘NEW MOON’, ‘ECLIPSE’, and ‘BREAKING DAWN’.
I think this is Must Read Books for everyone. If I have to rate this book I will give it 8 out of 10.

Book Review: "Miss Marple's Final Cases"


ni
BOOK REVIEW “Miss Marple’s Final Cases”


Author: Agatha Christie
Genre: Mystery, Short Stories
Language: English
Pages: 154
First Published: 1980

Agatha Christie undeniably the queen of Mysteries. As an avid lover of Mysteries I pounced on any Agatha Christie book comes my way. And none of them disappointed me yet. She must have written thousands of stories and created some fantastic characters. But two of her most famous characters are Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot. Out of which Hercule Poirot is one of the best fictional detectives in world literature. But Miss Marple is as brilliant character as him.
In this book, ‘Miss Marple’s Final Cases’ there are seven stories included. Some are most brilliant, some are average and some are predictable. But all the twist and turns in the stories are enjoyable never the less. Story like ‘A Case of Buried Treasure’ shows the brilliance and detailing in her story telling. There are two supernatural stories which were different and refreshing from Agatha Christie’s usual style. Every time I read Agatha Christie Book my respect for her amplified. She is a legend in world of literature. If anyone still to read Agatha Christie he is missing the paradise of Mysteries.
As for this book, it may be not the best of Agatha Christie’s work but it’s still worth reading once. If I have to rate this book I will give it 7 out of 10. I will recommend you must read Hercule Poirot series by Agatha Christie.
