July Read 2018
Hey there. I am back with my July Read 2018. I hope you will try out the books I have listed. Take care and keep reading.
When We Were Orphansby Kazuo Ishiguro. 2 stars
I read “When we were orphans” under recommendation. I read one of Kazuo’s book I liked the concept of that particular book. With same expectation I started this book as well but plot was too simple. The stars I gave are for the ending and Uncle Philip. A detective’s search for his own parents he lost when he was little. How excited he is to meet him childhood best friend yet again. How he uncovers the fog that had covered his thoughts and eyes.
I would surely complain about the English because it truly was so difficult to understand due to use of so much passive sentences. I might be wrong but I had to re-read so many sentences. I think I still am a beginner.
Do have a read and share me your thoughts on this book. It would so much helpful to know what you think as well.
Everything I never told youby Celeste NG. 3 stars
Everybody has their own battle to fight.
The Wife Between Usby Greer Hendricks. 5 stars
Greer Hendricks, I salute you for this book. This book gave me the satisfaction of eating the food you most craved. Who knew what would happen. This is a real page turner, I bet. My mouth was wide open in part two and the epilogue.
I totally agree that men are so secretively evil and innocent. They want you to save them but lock themselves up. Richard and his sister’s bond is out of ordinary. Vanessa reminded me of myself when she was struggling. The title of the book keeps you in a different loop, you predict something but don’t even try to predict is the plot.
The theme and title purely and attractive blends with the story. And I am so happy right now that I just read this damn jaw-dropping book.
Into the Waterby Paulo Hawkins. 3 stars
It started with interesting then plain and interesting. It wasn’t much of a suspense for me because I have bad habit of predicting story while I read and much were exactly what I thought. In starting I expected it to be about witches because most of the jumpers were women.
Three stars for how clearly she has portrayed a women through vision of men. And how low they would go to hide the truth, in book’s perspective. I like it how memory plays a big role.
In my opinion, title totally does justice I would say. And I guess so does what author is trying is potray. Not a fantastic read but okay kind of for me.
IQ84 Trilogyby Haruki Murakami. 5 stars
When it comes to realism, Haruki Murakami does full justice to it though sometimes you yourself won’t be able to understand. The Book one the trilogy is really interesting how there is detail description about all different characters. After so long I actually felt like reading his book again.
Personally, I think the second book wasn’t needed. It could have been summarized and added to book three as part three was stretched too much. “if it’s meant to be it’ll be,” is totally what this book stands as an example of.
It’s a must read.
The Forty Rules of Loveby Elif Shafak. 4 stars
I will share a quote from the book.
“A life without love is of no account. Don’t ask yourself what kind of love you should seek, spiritual or material, divine or mundane, Eastern or Western.… Divisions only lead to more divisions. Love has no labels, no definitions. It is what it is, pure and simple.
“Love is the water of life. And a lover is a soul of fire!
“The universe turns differently when fire loves water.”
For the month of July, I read total of eight books among which “The wife between us” is my favorite. Furthermore, I have already added it on the list of the books I love. Don’t forget to leave a comment or suggestion.
Thank for reading. Much Love.
