The Novels That I Read

Thanks to a friend of mine- Abhinay Kharote I started reading novels which very fast became one of my favorite hobby.

My First Novel

My first novel was ‘If Tomorrow Comes’ by Sidney Sheldon. This was a good story and if someone asks me I would recommend it.

My Rating – 3.0/5.0

My Second Novel

This book didn’t seem as good as the first one. But the way Sidney write his books is just fantastic.
My rating- 2.5/5.0

My Third Novel

Da Vinci Code Just mind blowing. The story-telling of Dan Brown is very different than many others. Found the reason why this book was a #1 bestseller.
My Rating 4.9/5.0

My Fourth Novel

This time I opted for a book with an Indian author. And I found this one very much interesting. Chetan has a very distinct way of telling the story. The characters in his story were easier to connect than other authors. Definitely I have become a fan of his.
My rating – 4.0/5.0

My Fifth Novel

deception-point After reading this novel I became a fan of Dan Brown. Dan Brown writes amazingly intricate and complex storyline that keeps you lost and confused, in a good way, in your armchair as you progress through the plot in his books. Deception Point is definitely one of the best books that i have read.
My rating-4.5/5.0

My Sixth Novel

Chetan Bhagat with his first novel comes with a story that will connect to any college going student easily. He certainly knows how to make an interesting book with a topic very common for the masses.
My Rating – 4.0/5.0

My Seventh Novel

Ken Follet had really caught my imagination with his hollywood type of storytelling. Dealing about global amnesia he really kept the reader guessing, what really happened before the incident resulting in the present state of the lead character, until the climax is just few pages away. Really engrossing story.
My Rating 3.5/5.0

My Eighth Novel

vertigo‘ ‘Ashok Banker’ just bring the life of Mumbai in the 1980s live in this book with his brilliant description. Along with this he tells you the story of a young executive trying to make his mark in this world while dealing with his personal problems. Quite different than the books that I have already read. The subject of this novel was not one of those that I’ll like but still somehow the book impressed me.
My Rating: 3.0/4.0

My Ninth Novel

Another great novel from Dan Brown. Though sometimes the book appears a little boring due to the numerous terms and definitions that the author introduces, the plot involves the reader and makes it exciting with just sheer brilliance.
My Rating- 4.5/5.0

My Tenth Novel

Well my friend Angad Sodhi recommended this novel to me nearly a year ago but I struggled to get my hands on it. In the end I found it, read it and now I don’t have words to describe this novel. In this one Paulo Coelho deals with the treasures of life, the small but important things of life that we neglect and the greatest lie of the world that we accept. It has a very different subject than other novels have but that doesn’t stop it from catching your imagination.
My Rating – 5.0/5.0

My Eleventh Novel

Angels and Demons

As I mentioned I read Angels And Demons and as usual is the case with Dan Brown’s novels I was spellbound with it. Just I thought is end is a bit too long.
My Rating – 4.5/5.0

My Twelfth Novel

Its been a long time since I started to read this book, ‘The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari’ by ‘Robin Sharma’. With other books I felt the desire to continue reading and falling into the world that the author has created. Maybe because in other books I couldn’t guess what will happen next while in this book there was no such suspense as the monk Julian Mantle and his best friend John has been engaged in a talk that could change his life. Nonetheless the talk is important one and I think everyone shold read this book as I can see myself in the role of John more than once. And I am sure many people would find so.
My Rating – 3.5/5.0

My Thirteenth Novel

‘A Study in Scarlet’ is a novel by ‘Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’about Sherlock Holmes. This novel is divide into two parts. The first part deals with two murders and its trail by Sherlock Holmes while the second part tells us why the crime has taken place and how Sherlock Holmes crackled the mystery. While reading the first part I was a little bored because neither I nor any character in the novel except Sherlock Holmes could guess who the culprit was and I wasn’t getting how Sherlock Holmes was cracking the mystery as the author had not put enough light upon that thing. But in the second part the author captured my imagination by his excellent description of the chain of events and the way he showed Sherlock Holmes above everyone else in his chosen field of academics.
My Rating- 4.0/5.0

Next on my mind

The Diary Of Anne Frank

Every Novel that Paulo Coelho has written and will write.

One Night At Call Centre – Chetan Bhagat

The Missing Parents Mystery – Ashok Banker

Around The World In 80 Days – Jules Verne

Harry Potter series

If there’s any good novel you would like to recommend it to me and other fellow readers of this blog then feel free enough to write it.
