Book Blurb: The elegant train of the 1930s, the Orient Express, is stopped by heavy snowfall. A murder is discovered, and Poirot's trip home to London from the Middle East is interrupted to solve the murder. Review: Murder on the Orient Express is a classic detective novel written by Agatha Christie. The plot is a perfectly formed one (it keeps the readers on the edge of the seat). This is the first Agatha Christie book I have ever read. Her writing is so engaging and that proves why she is one of the best authors in history.  Christie takes us on adventure alongside Poirot. Whenever someone reads crime mystery novels, everyone loves to guess who is the criminal, especially when you know that the culprit is definitely one among the suspects. This book leaves you puzzled and clueless but also amazed.  Poirot is probably the second most famous fictional detective after Sherlock Holmes. Poirot seems to be very different than Holmes. I need to read more books to understand him very wel

What makes 'The Alchemist' a classic?

There are some books that linger in our hearts forever and are hailed as classics. They could have been written a long time ago but are amazing even today. Such books are unforgettable and irreplaceable. 'The Alchemist' written by Paulo Coelho is one such book. First published in 1988, the book remains a favorite among all the bibliophiles and I am no one to escape. In this blog I want to share my thoughts on 'The Alchemist'. After hearing so much about the book I finally read it two years ago. I saw reviews on the cover and little did I know that I will be hugely impacted like them. The book is one of the finest book ever written. The book influenced and taught me so much. It proved that books are not mere text but a place to dwell. But what makes 'The Alchemist' one of the best place to dwell? The most amazing thing about 'The Alchemist' is its protagonist, Santiago. He is amazing not because he is handsome nor because he is going to save the world fr

Book review: 'A Thousand Splendid Suns' by Khaled Hosseini

I was really not interested in reading this book for a long time and kept procrastinating. I am still unable to figure out the reason behind it. But when I finally decided to pick this book up and started reading it blew my mind away and has become one of my favorites. I had heard so much about Hosseini's 'Kite Runner'. But even if I am going to read it in the future 'A Thousand Splendid Suns' will be me favorite of Hosseini's works. A Thousand Splendid Suns is a story of the oppressed. It's about how the people were affected when there was a political crisis in Afghanistan back in the 1990's. The thing I loved the most about this book is that the author tells the story through the lives of two women. Set up in the world of women the book goes on to talk about their happiness and hardships. Hosseini leaves the readers amazed with his ability to construct two characters that are so similar but yet so different. Both Mariam and Laila go through same things
