Boom!

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">This is the second review of the same book on this blog.<br />I wouldn't hesitate to call it a children's book because of it's extremely simple language and passages. I would recommend all the blooming book worms to start off with this novel as it not only brings interest into young minds but also brings love for books in them. For me the case was different as I read this after quite a many years since I started reading books and in that period of time I had finished many more classic and difficult books, thus compelling me to declare the book to be too easy.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA0KxP5ASP4mh2a7cNTcjZV8PVGEf3E_648OfC_I7limD7hH12T2aYRz5S1L50D4ccwEL9r73h8lzUFPvp5EtfxtN8uVqPaol0DGaoGdofwZf-WC73ldoTaGmhLcn83ltP2YW92Hiqymq5/s1600/Boom.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA0KxP5ASP4mh2a7cNTcjZV8PVGEf3E_648OfC_I7limD7hH12T2aYRz5S1L50D4ccwEL9r73h8lzUFPvp5EtfxtN8uVqPaol0DGaoGdofwZf-WC73ldoTaGmhLcn83ltP2YW92Hiqymq5/s1600/Boom.jpg" /></a>This science fiction by Mark Haddon has a remarkable story though the beginning is not very interesting. Due to the growing curiosity in me I finished this book in about four and a half hours, approximately fifteen minutes for each chapter. It all starts when Jimbo accidentally drops some sandwitch on his sister's boy friend's head compelling Becky(sister) to take revenge in the form of a false story regarding the impression created by Jimbo's teachers on him. Then Charlie and Jimbo decide to spy on their teachers which brings out the fact that something is wrong with two of the teachers. They speak in an unusual language and this case interests the two friends very much leading them to meet in outer space. Don't you feel that the story is very interesting and you are getting enthusiastic about reading it. So what are you waiting for? Go ahead and read the book right away.</div>

A tiger for Malgudi

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">If you've gone through all my reviews you must have understood by now that I am a Narayan fan cause I feel all his books are mind boggling.<br />I didn't have a similar experience with this one as I felt it to be boring at many points. Personification is the main device used in this book to please it's readers where a tiger narrates it's life story with interventions of paragraphs told by the author himself. The main character of the book is Raja, a tiger with other important characters like Captain and 'Raja's master' whose name I do not know.<br />The story has a nice flow but it's pace is very slow according to me.The events revolve around Raja's conversion from a wild beast to a circus' baffoon and then to a beautiful soul who understands the life problems of humans and has just the body of a tiger and nothing else similar to the ferocious wild tiger. Words in usage are appreciable and the easy language tries to grip it's readers.<br />The passages are long and the book isn't divided into chapters which dawned a feeling of disappointment in me.<br />However, don't go by me, instead create your own opinion about the book after reading it!<br />                                           <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7ivKqh1eapNZcdHxUtoYwEtKciQPySlqOkIJcU3ZlIZOeDsEIUNY3gA2iWlk2Z2btwLXlRBqT-POlwcjEyYPpK6zm8PrZ6lA-tzLQA5B9_ylJqFRvHv8pi3nvmDym7qKHL6QeLQHC9Zxr/s1600/8185986111_t.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7ivKqh1eapNZcdHxUtoYwEtKciQPySlqOkIJcU3ZlIZOeDsEIUNY3gA2iWlk2Z2btwLXlRBqT-POlwcjEyYPpK6zm8PrZ6lA-tzLQA5B9_ylJqFRvHv8pi3nvmDym7qKHL6QeLQHC9Zxr/s320/8185986111_t.jpg" width="204" /></a></div><br /></div>
