The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien
2.0
Am sorry i din't like this.. I so wanted to like this one. I guess am one of those who really really din't like this book. Not that i DINT like it. The story was fine but the characters and the writing was not enough for me to like this. Its was just so boring that i could not make my self to pick this up again and again and even the story din't help it. I used to read this few pages every few days and then when it came time to pick it i was filled with dread. That boring i found this one. It has tons of fans so you need not take my review but that's what i felt like when reading and even after finishing.
The Single Girl's To-Do List by Lindsey Kelk
2.0
With some very good review's I was waiting to read this one but... I really really dint like this one. I like these kind of books. 'Can you keep secret' or 'Someone Like Her' or Every Boy's got one' etc These books are almost similar, they are ridiculously cute, funny and very nice romance and they are just awesome reads. I loved those books and when I read that reviews of this one I was excited but this one was bad. It was not funny or entertaining or even romantic. I really dint like her leading lady or her friends. Am sorry but I was very disappointed. I was waiting to read 'I heart' series of this writer.. even now I think I will read the book but don't have much hope. May be you will like it as there are many good review's this 2 stars are just from my point of view.
Bully by Penelope Douglas
2.0
This book is...... is...... good and if you haven't read"Ryan Hunter" or "Checkmate" or "Play with me" or various books like this I thing you will like this better as I read all those books I liked it but felt like "few fries short of a happy meal", if you know what I mean. I felt something was off and the book has more of irritating side of the girl than the actually bully who is guy... and I was little bored and it sure was little hot and sexy but not interesting enough. There were lot of unnecessary things like abusing and alcoholic stuff or about her father being worried and stuff. And it's a pretty fast read. I finished it on the same day I started. This could have been better if it was funny or totally drama or totally romantic it has everything is small doses. I was not very happy with the book but sure it's fine.
The Gamble by Kristen Ashley
1.0
People who haven't read many romances sure will like this. But not me. I read too many romances and many of them are pretty awesome and what ever i read now its as if i have already read it some where and this one of them. Very common story and the writing... am sorry but i really dint like it. I dint find anything special or nice. Its a very common normal Mills and Boons kind of story. This has nothing different to offer. Not even funny so am sorry to say this but this was bad read for me.
Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
3.0
3.5 stars actually.. This one started out little boring but was very cute. Again a teenage story but its very nicely done. Cather or Cath is a fan girl and i found her very irritatingly teenagy. I dint like or her twin. Hated both of them and i like Levi. He was cute. Though i could not get past his "i wash my hair once in a month though i rinse in daily". I was imaging a dirty cute guy. But the story (there wasn't one) the book was very cute and easy and little dramatic but i loved it That is UNTILL THE END. Then i HATED it. What kind of a ending was that. Its as if She dint know how to end so she suddenly stopped writing. That's why 3 stars. I am looking forward to other books by Rainbow Rowell hopefully with a better ending.
Attachments by Rainbow Rowell
3.0
I liked it. Parts of this book are as cute as new born puppy's butt. But really the book was stupid too. Why would a guy as cute as Lincoln be so bloody in secured or as moronic as the writer portrayed him?? It made me smile alright. Its sweet but i really dint like the characters Beth and Jennifer. They were stupid and childish and not at all funny. I wonder what Lincoln liked so much bout their mails. They were BORING and WHINY. Read the book. Its cute and it will make you smile but do not expect it to be awesome. Thats it.
Head Over Heels by Jill Shalvis
4.0
I really really really liked this one. This has story. You know where a girl, boy (matured ones) knows each and are attracted but they don't act on it because they are not right for each other and then suddenly attraction grows they start liking each other and they fall for each other with their faults and all. This is that story. Its not like the stories where they see each other and BAM (thank god). I was looking for something like this and found it and i was doing happy dance the whole while. It has right amount of romance, love and sexual attraction and tension. This is the first book i read in the series so i have many to look forward to. Hopefully they are equally good.
The Viscount Who Loved Me by Julia Quinn
4.0
I loved the bather between Anthony and Kate. Most of Julia Quinn heroins are not very attractive but they smart, intelligent and can hold themselves in a conversation and they have very good communication skills. Kate is no different. She is smart and the conversations are entertaining and lovely. The kisses are not planned hence they are yummy and i loved.... loved their 2nd kiss. Its a very good read and i had fun reading. I was grinning like a lunatic while reading it which means its a hit. If you have the book. Then Have fun reading.
The Secret History by Donna Tartt
3.0
In some review i read someone mentioned that this book is a murder mystery which dresses up like something else. I think that's the perfect description about this book. I dint know this book existed till i read the book called [b:The Likeness|1914973|The Likeness (Dublin Murder Squad, #2)|Tana French|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1348934952s/1914973.jpg|6504351] by [a:Tana French|138825|Tana French|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1277505771p2/138825.jpg]. Lot of people mentioned that likeness reminded them of this book. As i really liked the basic story of Likeness i could not help but be intrigued by this book. Hence got it and started reading almost immediately.
The story is no doubt good and writing is also very good. When the likeness is entertaining this book is more intriguing. But both the books are very unbelievable. This book has so much of drinking that i was sick and tired of those 21 something drinking that much. There are so many things in this book that i felt that the writer could not control what she was writing. There is too much of hurried information. If you know what i mean. The Greek language which is dead or why our narrator who is practically poor wanted to so join in that 5 student class forgoing the medical thing he was studying. Till now i don't know what the Secret History is???
There is incest, gay, some kind of weird ritual which is not explained properly, 2 murders, Yeah the "likeness" between [b:The Likeness|1914973|The Likeness (Dublin Murder Squad, #2)|Tana French|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1348934952s/1914973.jpg|6504351] and Secret history is very much. I have no idea why Tana French COPIED this but hey both the books worked for me. I liked this book but she created a whole different kind of story for a simple murder mystery. I was expecting something else. I was expecting more rituals, more i don't know secret society kind of shit and even the murder if she made into a some ritual would have been awesome because the environment of the book is like that but she made this book somehow into a major clusterfuck which is totally worth reading.
