Harry Potter + Lord Of The Rings = Eragon
Eragon - Christopher Paolini

Harry Potter is a wonderful yarn - I really enjoyed reading all the books and was indeed fascinated by the creative imagination of Rowling. That was until I read - LORD OF THE RINGS - after this I was shocked to note how JKR had lifted almost all the characters from LOTR and had merely placed them ...in contemporary society. And as regards Eragon and its sequel - the lesser said the better. It became a best seller only because of the regional feelings of the Americans - they would like to believe that somebody from their own country could top the chart too. So much for their insight. geevin Read More

Indian Idol
Indian Idol

good review - but these judges cannot do anything original - they have to have somebody rude - that's the 'rule' - stupid but there it is! - watch American Idol and you'll know. It is high time we don't spend quality time watching this nonsense - but believe me we will - and continue to grumble. ... geetvinRead More

WHY KARUNYA LOST

I am just as disappointed as any other music lover. The platform of Indian Idol - it is obvious now - is not for talent. One should have realized this long ago. Thanks to Sony Entertainment Television - they have shaken the very base of National Integrity. Now let's come to the question - Why K...Read more

Summer Lightning - P.G.Wodehouse

Hello Ketan That was really a good review. Know what - I thought nobody read PGW these days. Glad to know that you have not just read it but studied it. Good for you. If there's anybody out there looking for fun and don't want too much of intellectual stuff to worry their brains - please read Ketan...'s review and pick up the book. Any lending library worth its name will have it. Happy readingRead More

Takeshi Mania
Takeshi's Castle

Good review. In fact this is one programme I do enjoy watching with my kids and it is rib tickling. Javed makes it all the more worth watching. Good review.

This Could Happen One Day!
Deception Point - Dan Brown

Good review. But I must say that Danny boy is getting to be a little too predictable. You just have to read two of his thrillers and you can certainly guess who the villain of piece is going to be - or rather who is 'not going to be'. Nevertheless - it was a fast paced book - but nothing like the d...a Vinc' code.Read More

Curiosity killed me

Pride and Prejudice happens to be one of my favourite books - and I just could not wait to see a screen adaptation of the novel. But alas.... The heroine Elizabeth Bennet with whom I had secretly identified myself with was actually murdered by Gurinder and Aish. How could they?!?! But befo...Read more
