Book review of 'How to make friends with the dark'

Image
  This book is heartbreaking, has the power to change opinions. There are too many scary things outside world. You may loose your loved ones, you can hurt yourself in several ways. You can lose your possessions, your social circles, your carrier or your dignity, patience, reputation. But the scariest thing in life is loosing your inner light , turn it off forever and surrender to the dark! This book is really pessimistic, depressing, heart wrenching! Too many times I thought to stop reading but I pushed myself to be patient. Because I know really well how to lose someone and suffer from deepest and never ever ending pain! It never goes away because when you lose someone you lose some parts of yourselves and you turn into a different person. So Grace a.k.a Tiger’s tragic journey after her loosing her mother is so realistic so sad but also so genuine, poignant and easy to connect.  ones. The story is about a girl called Tiger(Grace) who looses her mother on a day like any other....

Book Review of 'The Silent Patient'

  An awesome thriller about secrets and twists. It's an unputdownable book. The twists made me stay till the last page. This book will forever be etched in my mind. I can never forget this thriller, mystery. The story revolves around a murder, where the main character-Alicia- murders her husband. But when she is asked the reason, she never replies. This gives her the title of' Silent Patient'. Later her doctor/psychologist gets ahold of her diary and slowly reveals the truths. Will Alicia admit them? Will Alicia finally speak? I won't give spoilers, so that's all I can tell. It's a good read. I would give the age rating for this book for ages 15 and up. It's a fast-paced ride with short punchy chapters (oh, how easy it is to think "just one more chapter"). The story has so many threads and little surprises to uncover. More questions arise at every turn. And even those who work out the main aspect of the mystery will probably still enjoy the journey...
