The Best Novel Of England
MY REVIEW
This novel has got to be one of the most detailed and wholly entertaining works ever written about England. It literally takes you from the frozen tundra of the Ice Age, all the way to the present. I just could not put this book down. Even after my third reading of this, not so short of a book, I am just entirely impressed with the author's vision and and unsurpassed ability to intricately weave multiple stories of unforgettable characters throughout such a wide expanse of time periods. Amazi...

The Road by Cormac McCarthy: A Book Review
The Road by Cormac McCarthy
The first time I saw this book I was a bit intrigued. Not because the cover were made of plain black. I'm actually eager to know what's the relevance of the title as "The Road"... Some would say it is depressing. Sure it is! As I came to read a very few lines or two, it caught my in depth emotions and I started to cry. Shameless to say, I cried unstoppable page after every page. And suddenly I miss my dad! If you are a parent just imagine yourself traveling with your child in a long, dark, ...
