"Is that right?" That's the dialogue that most stands out for me in this rather clunky book. I don't know if it was the translation, but this was so stilted. The book is set as interconnected short stories, and by now, I detest this format. Can't we j ...more |

An intriguing and intense read. I got quite confused initially but got the hang of the unique plot structure a bit later. My advice is to pay careful attention to what happens in the first three chapters. I didn't and it messed up the book for me. ...more |

| Gosh, this was a gripping read. So visceral. I didn't know much of Malaysia's history despite having been to that country half a dozen times. There's something moving and melancholic in Tan Twan Eng's words. A gentleness that often makes the cruelty ...more | |

| This was a book that went downhill very fast. And no, it's not because it's forbidden love. I didn't care about that. But it was the love itself that never made sense. Stella and Ivo seem to hate each other, treat each other with revulsion, yet they ...more | |

| I don't read horror. For reasons unknown, I decided to read this. And for much of the book, it didn't feel like horror, not the kind that creeps me out anyway with spooky ghosts. This read more like a wandering Wuthering Heights - gothic wildness. Co ...more | |

| Oh yes, I get why this is such a revered classic. For much of the book, however, it evaded me, until Ali makes us shudder in grief toward the middle. I just found 'Madonna's' dialogue a bit strange, which is why I lost some interest in the middle of ...more | |

Not many authors make friendship the main theme of their novel. But Backman has created a little gem here. Something poignant, nostalgic, hopeful, and heartbreaking. The writing is fast-paced as you may expect from Backman. It flows, even though it c ...more |

One of the best books I have read this year. I don't know how to describe the intensity of this book. Glasgow chokes you with her words. She fills you up with the pain. There's no way out of the relentless nature of this book. It's pain. Beauty. Loss ...more |

I really don't do well with romances. Sigh. I thought I would give this a try, but time traveling was too confusing, especially if you place it in the context of someone not being able to step off a train. There's only so much my mind can stretch. It ...more |

What an utterly delightful book. Sweet and heart-warming. Friendship. Love. Redemption. Hope. And above all, life in all its breathtaking beauty. This is a gem. Readable. Moving. And relatable. |
