Different from the current popular ones. It embraces gore without exaggerating it. I simply had a good time reading this

Go by Kazuki Kaneshiro
5.0
One of the nicest books I have read in a while, dealing with a completely different set of people in an unexpected environment, yet carried that "coming of the age" badge
The Bro Code by Matt Kuhn, Barney Stinson
3.0
Smug humor; add in to the lore of the show really well. I like how this gives a different insight into the character of Barney Stinson and the incidents, as one might call it, that happened to him which lead into such a direction of the book. Got tad bit disgusting at parts(not as disgusting as some of the other bits I have read before)
The Same Stuff as Stars by Katherine Paterson
5.0
This was the book which initially got me hooked into reading books. Whereas most of the (story)books I read at that time(I was 10 when I first read this) seemed more fantasy, this felt more real. This probably had to do with the setting, which I recall was set in contemporary America, and the characters, which felt really life-like, dealing with problems and emotions the same way humans actually do. Stars, which remain as one of the main themes, intrigued me at that time partly due to that one fact where the light in my area were often badly lit , which allowed constellations like Orion to be viewed quite clearly; also with the way the characters discuss about the stars. Maybe today it seems trivial, but for a 10 year old kid who spent most of his time by himself, this book served a special place in his heart. Even today at times whenever I am alone, I fondly remember those starry moments; and this book which allowed me to realize all of that...
10 Minutes 38 Seconds in This Strange World by Elif Shafak
5.0
One of the better books of Elif Shafak I have read recently. The real magic is the way the structured and the way the characters were introduced and married into the story. The structure is reminiscent of any young adult story involving a group of friends; how (in this case) the main character is a tragic hero whose friends eventually come together to make the best of whats left(and possible in their reach). As such, it is really refreshing to see such a format(without spoiling much) in such a kind of book. Does a great deal of reminding readers that death is inevitable and unexpected, to a point where at times I would be shook. Overall I really enjoyed reading it, something I haven't quite experience from her previous works.
