Neverwhere | Neil Gaiman
Pickpick

A beautiful and gripping fantasy novel.

Neil Gaiman paints a beautiful fantasy world which is at once magical, intriguing and at once scary, gory and filthy. The use of humour throughout the book is fantastic and leaves you gasping for more.

Le Carre just hits the right notes always..

I do not wish to give this book 5 stars because I wish all this never happened. I wish the Holocaust did not happen and I wish Spiegelman did not need to write this book. This is a disturbing story but one that needs to be told and re-told. Even if you are not a reader you can grab this graphic novel to understand what happened and how it happened so that as a human race we do not make these mistakes again.

Steve Jobs | Walter Isaacson
Pickpick

I have always admired Jobs for what he achieved and the will and drive he showed in achieving it. Lets be clear, he was not a lovable person but I feel if you need to achieve something path breaking, you need to be ruthless and selfish, which he was..
The book lays down Jobs to his bones and lets you judge what to make of him.. Isaacson has held nothing back and he credits Jobs by saying he never asked to proof read the book before publishing..

Some paragraphs just hit you hard.. Will always go back to these words... The definition of death in the first paragraph is the most poignant one I have ever come across..

AbhisekBasu This is an amazing book. Check out the movie too(if you haven't). It did a pretty good job adapting it. 5y
Pratham49 Will surely watch it then 5y
Curiouser_and_curiouser Ooohhhhh, I just wanted to keep reading!! I'm sure I've seen it in a op shop or two recently, I must go back! I'd love to read it one day :) 5y

A superb thriller to follow up the Cuckoo‘s Calling. Cormoran Strike slowly grows on you. He may not be a Sherlock Holmes but his powers of recall and deduction are really good. There are no major twists and turns but you can see how, gradually ties the loose ends up.. worth a read.. Rowling surpasses expectations..
