Review of "The One From The Stars"

The cover is gorgeous, enticing any potential reader, and along with the blurb, it sowed seeds of intrigue in my heart. I began reading with interest, and within a day of receipt, I finished it—the book is so well paced and captivating. When I put the book down beside my pillow after reading it, my eyes were wet and my heart was fluttering. It took me a while to rein in my emotions and calm myself.
Once again, this young author has done a phenomenal job. I must say the protagonist is one of the best characters I have ever encountered in the world of international fiction. Vishesh is extremely realistic and beautifully etched. He has some flaws and weaknesses (thus making him more real), but he is so adorable that he makes space for himself in your heart and compels you to root for him. Even the supporting characters—his parents, his girlfriend, and his friends—are well written, thus adding to the charm of the book. The emotional conflict of the protagonist with his loved ones and the struggles that he has to face while chasing his dreams is described so realistically that you can totally relate to it, especially if you belong to an Indian middle-class family.
Throughout the book, as is expected now from Keshav Aneel, wonderful motivational quotes come to greet you and teach you valuable life lessons. The language is lucid, simple, and thus perfect for a short book like this. The ending is also wonderful, and I’m sure that any mildly emotional person will be reduced to tears.
‘The One from the Stars’ is a memorable, inspirational, and emotional book, and I would recommend this to readers of all fiction. 4.75 stars from my side.

The Theory Of Everything by Stephen Hawking This book is a transcription of several lectures Stephen Hawking gave sometime before 1996. He does not own the copyright to these lectures, and would prefer that people who are interested in his work instead consult the books that he has written himself. Ironically, of the books by Hawking that I've tried, this is really the most enjoyable to me. Partly this may be because the lecture format required a particular kind of conciseness that his books lack. I have been listening to the book on audio as well as reading it. The audio version is, apparently, a direct recording of his lectures, and is given by means of his speech synthesizer. This is interesting and quite intelligible, although some proper names have odd pronunciations. I completed only the first three chapters, described below. Chapter 1: Ideas about the Universe Aristotle and the many reasons for a spherical earth, as well as an over-estimate of its circumference. The me...

Book Review of" The Invisible Man"

 the biggest interesting e-book which creates its delusion world The Invisible guy, a technology fiction written by way of HG Wells has a completely theatrical start. “The visitor came in February, one freezing day, thru a biting wind and lashing snow, the ultimate snowfall of the 12 months, over the downhill, rambling from Bramblehurst railway station, and resounding a bit suitcase in his gruffly gloved hand. He becomes enfolded from head to foot, except the edge of his soft touched hat hid each inch of his face, despite the fact that the sleek tip of his nose; the snow had accumulated itself towards his shoulder and chest and appended a white crest to the load he carried. He stunned in the “train and Horses” more useless than alive, and threw his suitcase down. ‘A fireplace’ he wept, ‘in the appellation of human charity! A room and a fireplace!’ He embossed and trembled the snow off himself within the bar, and tailed Mrs hall into her visitor parlor to strike ...
