Lust For Life - Irving Stone

well Lyla, this is not the version I have heard regarding Van Gogh's life.... so far as I know from his boographies and from a good source, the History channel... he cut off his ear when his friend decided to leave the little yellow house.. is this book historically accurate or a work of fiction?

The Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown

Nice review, I rated it SU though because though it was written with a lot of josh, i could not get much about the book itself.. I want to buy this book , especially after reading Angels and Demons by the same author... but I seem to be in a state of limbo about it.. continue the good work.. :-) ...Sumanth R Rao Read More

Had me on the edge of my seat!!!
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - J K Rowling

Welcome to MS.. your review most definitely was writtem from the heart, but I agree with Lyla.. it was hard to read. Having said that, I think its best you write as you are now, I could almost see you glued to your book when i read your review. Cheers and enjoy Sumanth

Reviewed Dilbert Principle, The - Adams Scott

Kneel , he is the king of office humour.

I am presently recovering from a bout of riotous laughter. I have just completed one more of Scott Adams' books and I feel elevated. Why so , let me try to explain: The Characters: DILBERT : A shy timid sort of engineer, your everyday sort of chap. Look at any 30 year old engineer and he m...Read more

Magical
One Hundred Years Of Solitude - Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Well Lyla, I did get my hands on this book a couple of years back (say 2 years back), I was so flustered by the book I could not continue, I could'nt understand a thing in the book:-((( .. since then I have had a peculiar aversion to Gabriel Garcia ... do you think its time I tried reading it again!...!!! , as usual great review.. Almost convinced me to read the book.. just need a slight push to fall off the edge!! Cheers Sumanth Read More

Reviewed Scenes from an Executive Life - Anurag Mathur

Think about it

This is not a book to be tossed aside lightly, it should be thrown with great force!!! A review for this book is extremely difficult, so I'll review it from the perspective of different classes of people But firstly about the cjharacther and the plot: Chief charachter: Mr Gambhir Kumar. The rest...Read more

Terrible book
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - J K Rowling

Well, I agree with your sentiments, but the book's only drawback is that the story is no more for kids.. its darker, and probably not somrthing you would read to your kids at night!!, but it is probably that even Ms Rowling's imagination has reached its limit... hope she does not turn it into a soa...p... the ending should be good.... something like the ending of the Lord of the rings!!! Cheers, SumanthRead More
