IF IT'S NOT FOREVER ...IT'S NOT LOVE by Durjoy Datta , Nikita Singh, Book Review

If It's Not Forever. It's Not Love. by Durjoy Datta

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


If it's not forever, it's not love...



Nice title, great cover design. I just picked it up reading the title.. It sounds pretty cool..



The story was pretty good.. Not like anything expected from Durjoy... I started liking his stories now..



Firstly, the very theme is new -atleast for me. Finding a diary and chasing down the story all across India, collecting bits of story, wow, its damn exciting..



Hmmm... there is not much which i could explain, just read it once, it is worth a read..



And ya, its my first signed copy so it is special...

LOVE WAS NEVER MINE by Kunal Bhardwaj, Book Review

Love Was Never Mine by Kunal Bhardwaj

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


A good cover design. The first reason to pick up this book..



But the small font really pissed me off.. I read for minutes and I am still on the same page. Thats the worst when it comes to a book..



Coming to the first half of the story... The first of the story deserved a 0 outta 5 stars.. Damn!! I was 50 pages down and all I could make out was,

1. Rahul got a job.

2. There were 100 PCs in his workplace.

3. There is a girl he love who sits beside him



Damn, everything was so detailed and repeated that there is no need for you to read the whole paragraph. Just read the first few words and you will understand the whole parah, which has nothing to convey at all..



The second half was a bit fast paced compared to the first.. The only part when I felt as a reader was the last 20 - 30 pages..



The prologue seemed so interesting, but when you are done reaing the whole story, you feel it is not worth the time spent reading it..



A pure waste of time!!!

YOU WERE MY CRUSH! by Durjoy Datta, Orvana Ghai, Book Review

You Were My Crush!...till you said you love me! by Durjoy Datta

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


First of all I hate durjoy.. His book "Oh yes, I am single" sucks big time.. This book was given to me by my friend. Even though I had no interest in reading Durjoy stuff, I read it.



I was expecting not so interesting thing about this book, but as I read on, the story got very interesting.. Actually I pretty much liked it. It was not as bad as I thought it would be..



The story circles around Benoy Roy (probably, the hero of the story), who lost his mom due to cancer, who was devorced to her husband.. No family.. His best friend, hates him.. No best friend.. His love hates him more than anything.. No love.. In short, Benoy's life is totally f**ked up.. This is story of a boy who is trying to pick up the pieces of his life..



Worth a read.. Good for time pass..

THE MOTORCYCLE DIARIES by Che Guevara, Book Review

The Motorcycle Diaries by Che Guevara

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


It is AMAZING!!



When you are reading this book, you feel like you travelling with guevara and alberto.



The way guevara describes his journey is marvellous, a incredible journey with a humourous touch. Before I read this book, I have no idea who is Che Guevara and I also thought that he was a pop singer. Now I started liking him.



The very idea of travelling -and hiking- around a continent and taking in all the spiritual learnings from the nature is very exciting.



It is worth reading 100 times!!



Like said by Christopher McCandless, "The very core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure"...

OHH YES, I AM SINGLE..! by Durjoy Datta &Neeti Rustagi, Book Review

Ohh Yes I am Single...!: and So is My Girlfriend by Durjoy Datta

My rating: 1 of 5 stars


I heard a lot of good comments about the authors.. This is the first of his books I am reading...



Damn, I hate it.. And now I hate the author too..



This is a tale narrated by the hero, named after one of the authors, about his first crush, first kiss, first love, first sex, first first........



These are all personal things, who in his right mind want to know all these?? Pure waste of time!!

ANGELS & DEMONS by Dan Brown, Book Review

Angels & Demons by Dan Brown

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I first read, The Da vinci code... Thinking that it was the first book.. But later foudn out that Angels and Demons as the first one..



As per the story, it is not necessary to read the books in the order, but for the thrill it is damn important to read them in order..



The second book, The Da vinci code, is better than this one, but this one is very interesting too.. I recommend everyone to read this one first and then da vinci code... They are a must read..



There is nothing interesting I could say about the book, it a MUST MUST MUST read!!!



Hope to read the third one soon..
