The Great Indian Bust: A Coming of Age Fiction – Review

August 7, 2019 / By Book Reviews Lab

Rishabh Bhatnagar’s latest novel The Great Indian Bust: A Coming of Age Fiction has been appreciated widely by the readers as well as popular & the best book review websites in India. It impressed me to read the novel and I read it recently. However, my reading was not influenced in any way by the reviews I have read before getting a copy of this book. My review is based entirely on my reading. I will share what I feel about this book, the author and the future of these two in the writing industry.

Far from the Madding Crowd

December 10, 2018 / By Book Reviews Lab

Title: Far from the Madding Crowd
Author: Thomas Hardy
Genre: Literary Fiction
Publisher: WordsWorth Classic
Format: Paperback

One of the best Victorian novels... a must-read for book lovers who want to invest in reading classics.

Thomas Hardy is certainly one among the forerunners of English fiction – novels. His writing complimented his emotional excursions that dealt with several problems of his time and times to come. His agony took the shape of pessimism and blurred his mstery over the language and expression at times. However, no one can deny that Hardy is, still, the novelist

A Thousand Seeds of Joy by Ananda Karunesh

Title: A Thousand Seeds of Joy
Author: Ananda Karunesh
Genre: Spiritual
Publisher: Path of Joy Books
Release Date: 2018
Format: Paperback
Pages: 424

A Thousand Seeds of Joy is a book which will be interesting to many and meaningless to some... this book demands dedication on the part of readers and also knowledge of basic level in the domain of Indian religious history.

A Thousand Seeds of Joy by a well-known healer and practitioner of Zen Awakening, Ananda Karunesh is the latest book that I have finished. While I read the book only after reading a few of the well-known book reviewers in India, I do have my personal opinion to share. My reading was certainly impressed with the reviews that I read.

A perfect pack with humour, satire, seriousness and social problems dealt with a casual attitude as if he does not want to show how to solve them but just wants to show them to us - the readers. Merlin Franco has been successful in bringing out callous laughter on the faces of his readers in his very debut attempt at fiction writing and he has done well - accept it!
