கருவாச்சி காவியம் by Vairamuthu

இந்நாவலின் வாசிப்பின்போது வைரமுத்துவின் கருவாச்சியை நினைவு வருவதை
உணரலாம். ஒரு பெண் தனித்து
வாழும்போது சமூகம் அவளுக்கு கொடுக்கும் இன்னல்கள், குறைந்தது மூன்று
ஆண் கதாபாத்திரங்கள் முதல் ஊரே அவளுக்கு எதிராகவும் பல இன்னல்களும்
கொடுக்கும். அதையெல்லாம் சமாளித்து பின் ஊர் உணரும் புண்ணியவதி ஆவாள்
கருவாச்சி.

You don't find any attractive greenery, fair women and soothing atmosphere in this book. Given these stipulations no one would dare to go about it as successfully as Mr. Vairamuthu. For, it needs guts for a person to make things happen even in this set up.

"Just imagine who would have the courage to name the heroine of the book as `Karuvachi' (woman with dark complexion) other than him."

Having lived through most of the experiences, the author was able to carry on with his work with remarkable alacrity.

Citing one specific situation, where the protagonist of the `Karuvachi Kaviyam' without the help of anyone passes through labour pain and delivers a baby, like the child he breathes life into the character..

Eclipse by Stepyne Meyer

i love the book cover and bella as we share the same kind of luck and i am known as the
most accident prone person in my friend circle.the story picks up from where it was left
in new moon.the style is the same hypnotic prose,making you dreamy and vigorously perfectly
exploits the feelings of teenage people.no wonder the theatre is full of dewy eyed couples.
Story:Bella finds herself still aging and still being hunted by victoria and still in growing love
for edward the vampire and jacob the werewolf.i don call it a thriller cos i exactly know
what the next chapter holds but the the writings are just superb. hey and still bella has
not become a Vampire but has avoided victoria(who in this part creates so many new vampires) but has
come in the sight of volturi!!! the next book is nicely poised..
1.does bella become vampire?
2.r cullen takes on volturi clan?
3.will the temp truce between werewolf n vampire last?

For this i have to go to moore market to buy the next book in series BREAKING DAWN.
P.S. I still do not know the author name

The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown

The lost symbol is all about a lost soul who wants to become a demon through ancient mysteries. For this purpose he kidnaps the grand master of the grand lodge (the freemason group). As usual Robert Langdon is pulled in to the plot cos he specializes in solving symbols under time limit! As usual he endures all the beatings and thrashing given by the villain, this time he is made to undergo a session in sensory deprivation tank. All in all another Dan brown thriller. I was actually disappointed with Da vinci code. Comparing it to Angels and demons, the book was just racy. The book was written keeping current fast paced generation? This book again is sort of let down. I cant point out what is the exact thing but some sting is definitely missing.

The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga

Reading the 1st 10 pages i began to appreciate myself that i bought this for reading.the author gives a perfect description of world i live. this story i have heard from numerous ppl who once had been servants. the book shows the hungry anger and witty enough to tickle the furthest humour bone. the book is on darker side. pg after pg you are humorously attacked how we cope up in this world. many of my frens have been jumping job,as they are 1st gear ppl as described by the author. i wonder hw we can be in asingle job for 50 years. day in and day out doing the same routine. the pace is good. but i kept down the book after each chapter to chew on what the happened in that chapter. the author is very reasonable and persuasive abt each of his charcters in his book,abt how and why they react so a given situation, the story revolves around balram halwai a supposed to be sweet maker,but in time becomes a humble servant, murdere,enterprenur and a philosopher. the tale is journey of balram born in darkness of village life (read poor) to the life of amoral business man(read rich). want to know a bit of real india, this is one of the book.

Thousand splendid suns by khaled Hossieni

It truly is a gift to have a gift to weave tales. Khaled hosseini has that very gift that story tellers need. He really has splendid gift to weave a tale with few characters. He makes us you smile when the character smiles and makes you feel the pain when the character is in pain. A thousand splendid suns shines like a true star. Mariam a harami brought up by her mother alone from anyone eyes, is forced to marry a bitter elderly rasheed and move to Kabul away from herat. She carries with her the guilt that she was responsible for her death. After 20years she has to share her household with 15 year old laila. How the bond forms between them is told in a heart wrenching way. They struggle through occupation of Russia then the local miltia and then the talibans. They struggle through Rasheed, starvation, fear of taliban. The author bases his story on his strong point. He has his ears to the ground. He knows the life of his characters. Being a afghani himself he is successful in basing the timeline of the story on the war torn once upon a time beautiful country. There is couple of things that caught my attention. Aziza, the daughter of laila also a harami develops a heart for mariam when she is just a month old. The second child of laila, which she had to give birth by caesarian without anesthesia. It always is woman who gets the wrong end of stick always. The endurance they have is astonishing, will we ever realize it? The author says about the bamiyan Buddha and how it was destroyed. The destruction, the unforgiving time made me think why we call ourselves human and why we ability to think.

True Evil By Greg Iles

A face you see daily, a soul you trust and when they can watch you die slowly but steadily knowing they are the one who condemned you to die is a true evil …

Alex morse ex hotshot hostage negotiator who has lost her father in a robbery attempt, her mother on death bed cos of ovarian cancer, rushes to see her sister admitted in hospital. Grace morse dies revealing (intuition) that her husband murdered her or he is the reason behind and asks her to save her son. The story is set in natchez and Mississippi. Alex then begins one woman army fight against the villain. She has to work alone as this doesn come under federal crime, nor she is in good book of the fbi head shot Dodson. Alex discovers that grace husband bill saw a divorce lawyer bill. She finds others who have seen this lawyer, lost their spouse to natural illness. This is where the plot is too muddy to grasp. Except here plot is neat and everything falls neatly in place at the climax. All the characters are well defined, each of them being given separate chapter and introduced early in the novel, the genius but mad scientist, greedy lawyer, faithful dad’s friend, even the children. Alex finds that the next target is Dr. chris shepard and confronts him with the truth, who goes into denial mode till he gets objective evidence! The spouse all die due to induced illness, in many cases its cancer. Its difficult to believe that cancer can be induced in people. Being a biology student myself, I found it little more difficult to believe. But author presents some good facts that make the science and medicine, a chilling villain than the villain who uses it. The pace of the book is fast and relentless. How Alex overcomes and saves her sisters son (not the final victim, ofcourse he lives) is the story you got to read.

Is he the next Sidney Shelton? Of the two books I read, both has female as the central character
