Review of Hanabarir Rahasya by Shahariar Kabir
This is a good story; is the first thing I would say. Good build-up, good climax and a smooth end. But I am not sure how will the Bengali bookworm population will accept the amalgamation of haunted house with the extra-terrestrial beings. but to look this the other way, this is very unique as far as the Bengal literature is concerned. Enjoyed it, but occasional use of Urdu/Persian language and far east dialect of Bengali, makes it a bit difficult to read.

Review of Born To Survive: You Can't Break A Broken Heart.
Today I am reviewing "Born to Survive: You can't break a broken heart" by Kylie-Anne Evans. This no doubt, is an autobiography. The author is writing about her life till date. I'm usually very critical about reading books. But from the very beginning the author takes me to a tour of her life. And unlike many others, she did not guide me in, rather I would say she took me with her. Nowhere in the book she appeared to be lost or went off topic for a moment. She made me see how from her very birth her life was tough, her childhood, her adulthood full of miseries and how it was the toughest time in her life (avoiding spoilers), how she loses her mother, her parenthood, loses her children, how she wanted to end everything, how she fought back and how she is a winner. She also talk about a sweet soul; her grandson Zander, who is really worth mentioning.
Author's straightforward appeal and writing makes the book unique and one of it's kind. She is not hideous about her life. Where most people fail, she has presented it quite successful. She has talked about her mother's sexuality and her father's rogue nature and other minute details of her life. Reading through this book is like reading though her personal diary, only summarized year wise.
Parents of all age can go through this book for parenting tips, if they're having a hard time raising or dealing with their children. And if you're not a parent, everyone can actually read this book for inspiration.
This book, as I say, 'Unique and one of it's kind'. I thoroughly enjoyed her open-mindedness and her dedication to write it focused. Most importantly "the story isn't over yet". Make sure your read the warning. Author has warned the readers about explicit content and language. If I'm to rate this book I'll give 8.5 out of 10.
