Reviewed Philips DVD 320

Great player at great price

I hate watching movies on PC, so I had to find a way to watch all the new movies coming only on CDs and DVDs. I decided to buy a DVD player and started looking at the market. The philips 'Ramu' ad had me hooked. I checked all over the web and found this cute little piece. Reading certain 'How...Read more

Reviewed Eye Of The World, The - Robert Jordan

Long-winded

I have been introduced to Robert Jordan by my cousin. He wanted Half blood prince badly which I had, and I was only ready for a barter and nothing else. So he got the first part of the series 'Eye of the world' from a cousin of his and completed the deal. Even its size was attractive as I had no...Read more

Black - a let down
Black - Bollywood

Aditi, I totally agree with every point in your review. Agreed its a good movie and a great try at that! But definitely not Oscar material. It is loud at times, AB is loud at times and sometimes he's so good esp near his amnesiac scenes, he's brilliant. Keep them coming! you really write well, ...I especially liked your 'train wreck' comment. - KeerthiRead More

Reviewed Shockwave - Colin Forbes

Neither shocks nor waves

I read some other book of Forbes but can't remember it for the life of me. Wasn't impressed then and am not now. A British head of intelligence when involved in a murder conspiracy, how he escapes it, proves himself innocent and saves the world forms the crux of the story. No side stories, no...Read more

Strange Obsession - Shobha De

I have always been of the mind that storyline actually ruins a comment, but as you have said I should have atleast given an outline of the plot. Will Keep that in mind for my future reviews. Thanks.

Reviewed Hammer of Eden, The - Ken Follett

Hammer at the end

The title is interesting.... as if the paradise has gotten so mad at you that it wants to hit you with its hammer :)) This is my second Ken Follett book. Actually I was not in the least impressed by the first one I read 'The Third Twin'. Seemed too outlandish an idea to me. Crichton makes the...Read more

Reviewed Chances - Jackie Collins

Dont take this chance

I picked this book up coz I saw her name in the bookstore a lot number of times and that too with lot of titles to her name and wondered what she was all about. This time I wanted to know for myself. Sometimes trying new authors just based on their name instead of the content of the book pays...Read more

Drab n Dull

While I was browsing through a book store, this book caught my eye as I happened to remember something my friend once commented about it. Bought it but chanced opening quite sometime later. The book is really dreary to start with. There is no clear path for the story to progress. Whatever pat...Read more

Reviewed Adventurers, The - Harold Robbins

Pointless

I liked Carpetbaggers a lot. That was what made me pick this book up from the library. Let me start the review with a trial to summarize the novel. It is really difficult to do so as there is not much of a story. Its about a person called DAX. He's from a small country called Corteguay from S...Read more

Reviewed Amsterdam - Ian McEwan

OK

The story was different, I mean the presentation of the events of people's lives was. But I didn't find it any spectacular. It is a story of the past lovers' of a woman and their interaction with each other and her husband after her death. The future of the main characters can be predicted on...Read more

Not worth your time

I just wanted to read a book by Shobha De. I picked up Strange Obsession in the library, went home and started reading it. I didnt like the first few chapters itself. The starting itself is so dull. After the first few chapters, I lost interest, but wanted to complete it to see whether there ...Read more
