The Map In The Attic by Jolyn Sharp

2.0

This book did me intrigue me enough to read till the end but it wasn't quite enjoyable. Story wasn't great either.

This is a good read. I am absolutely jealous of their school life! Loved the way story is written. Well, I am definitely going to continue on this.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling

3.0

It was an OK book .. I liked it overall but 60% of the book was boring. There was so much repetition from the first book. They were really annoying.

However, the story was amazing and I absolutely loved the ending.

Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach

Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson

Gave up on.. Will review it later again when I read it completely.. ( 50% done) . The writing.. idk .. seems complicated in a way. This is time consuming.

Until the End of Time by Danielle Steel

2.0

Quite awful ! Extremely cliched

*didn't read the 2nd one.

A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini

4.0

Tragic. Heartbreaking. Moving.

Loved the narration. Heartbreaking what happens, this might be a work of fiction but it happens, it does, even in modern countries. So helpless we feel, what can one do ?

This is certainly a memorable novel, one that can change how you act rest of your life. A must read!

One fact did displease me, the negative representation of Islam. There are so many wrong things shown as if they are allowed in Islam. So just to say, people who don't know what Islam is or have a weak idea of it, please don't allow this novel to create any sort of image of Islam in your head. Completely disregard it, it is mostly false.

The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien

5.0

Masterpiece ! Extraordinary !

Absolutely perfect with every last detail. Loved the way it has been narrated. I went on an adventure hesitantly but came back wanting more ! Thankfully I have Lord of the Rings series as well :) >>

Macbeth by William Shakespeare

5.0

Loved it ! Short and simple story written in beautiful words > That's all I have to say.

Favorite lines -
" Disdaining fortune, with his brandished steel
which smoked with bloody execution "
" Instruments of darkness tells us the truth "
" I dare do all that may become a man
Who dares more is none "

Definitely one of my favorites.
