You would want to take your time reading this book. The narration is breathtakingly beautiful (his words are almost poetic!), you’d want to savour each and every page you read. The storyline is really simple. It’s about a boy, Daniel, who discovered this book titled ‘The Shadow of the Wind by Julian Carax’ in the…

Map of The Invisible World by Tash Aw
I was looking forward to enjoying this book, but was greatly disappointed. It’s not that I didn’t enjoy Aw’s great prose and use of language, I did. If not because of that, I wouldn’t have survived 342 pages. What lacked in this novel, I find, was drama, suspense, thrill and the strength of the characters….
Enough is Never…
Was there at the Penguin and Pearson Warehouse (Hereon, will be known as PPW) sales. I can tell you, IT’s GOOD! (But I still think Big Bad Wolf’s books are cheaper lah. You can’t get RM8 books at PPW) Anyway, I personally think PPW has a better selection of books as compared to BBW, which…

Dali & I: The Surreal Story by Stan Lauryssens
I LOVED IT! 🙂 Finally…a good, satisfying read… A very straight-forward story, but great for those of you who love art and have heard of the name Salvador Dali. Think a weird, crazy clown who can paint. That’s Dali. His artworks have been sold for millions (USD, mind you)! Now, the word ‘his’ here is…
Once On a Moonless Night by Dai Sijie
Nice cover, not so nice story. Here’s the synopsis:This story revolves around a sacred text written on a scroll of silk, that was torn in two, by an emperor. A Chinese student living in France attended a meeting where she was asked to translate a professor’s plea for re-establishing the truth about the movie, ‘The…
Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett
If you need a good laugh, Good Omens it is (or The Bartimaeus Trilogy heh). Here’s a synopsis: It’s about our world coming to an end. An Antichrist, came to earth in a disguise of a young boy, named Adam Young (Yes, Adam) and a hellhound, named ‘Dog’ was sent to help him (How it…
The Gathering by Anne Enright
In a nutshell, The Gathering is about a woman who’s coming to grips with her past, catching up with her present and trying to move on after her brother’s death. And I didn’t enjoy it one bit. She rambled alot. Her story went back and forth so inconsistently and frequently that I got lost. Maybe…
