I am strange. I should have loved this book but I couldn't. I struggle to read on the Kindle these days. Such a sweet story but I rushed through it. Don't take my listlessness here. This book is worth a read if you love animals. ...more |

| I suppose I should have liked this book a lot more, but as sweet as it was, it was kind of really boring. You just want a story, and there's really no story, just a beautiful meditation on death. I did not understand the ending at all, so kind of und ...more | |

| This has to be one of the saddest books I've ever read. Hanya Yanahigara's A Little Life probably comes to mind, but that air of sadness that permeates every page of this book doesn't necessarily mean that the book is hopeless. There's love, there's ...more | |

| Passages of lyrical beauty. Sparse prose. Haunting lines. That's how I can best describe this book. There are times when Yiyun Li made me gasp with her writing - this is, after all, a personal story. A deeply personal one and it's hard to criticize i ...more | |

| A book that kind of progressively gets worse. There's just too many things going on, and it feels more like a khichdi by the end rather than something that you really are interested in or invested in. The only good thing about it is that the story mo ...more | |

A rather desultory novel that tried too hard, I felt. It tries to fit in everything: Racism. Diversity. Gender. Sexuality. Family. Friendship. History. And it failed to carry off any of those themes. I was quite bored through this read. Sigh. But don’ ...more |

| Quirky. That's the word that comes to my mind when I think of this book. This was entertaining and sad, but you couldn't keep feeling sad either. At times comical, and at times using that comedy as satire, Lola is witty, warm, humane, and compassion ...more | |

| Such a disappointment. I was expecting so much, so much from this book and it was such a disappointment, a horrible let down. I do not know much about historical fantasy as a genre but it definitely did not hit the mark for me because for about 415 p ...more | |

| So I had really liked some of Matthew Haig's earlier works but this one kind of felt a little too predictable. It doesn't make it any less sweet or endearing but you kind of know where he's going with all of this. It becomes a little irritating hones ...more | |

| I dread reading Indian literature because it's such a hit-or-miss for me these days. This was a miss. A big miss. Part of the problem is that the author brings at least 20 characters in the first two pages! All the aunts, sisters, uncles and everyone ...more | |
