The SKY is falling!Chicken little??


Yeah,Thats de exact expression on my mind(the title of the blog) when i first read de title of the book!As i mentioned in my previous blog,i m jus a beginner[:)]..... This time i decided i would read the book in proper order(only those who have read de previous blog would be able to relate to this line!)!

The first thing that struck me was the blood red cover wit a damsel's pic on the cover... followed by the comments/excerpts of the entire novel!(it was a really small novel).... was good...when i was jus pondering over my thoughts,i came to know that i love novels that have a pacy plot!And so my obvious choice was adventure and revenge(in short action..kazaaam kaboom kind..lik a roller coaster ride)... the nail biting anticlimax,a sudden flip pertinent to few words in first chapter( think m becomin sort of melodramatic..but hey come on... it adds to de effects[:P])

So wit al due respect, i opened the first page.... whoa whoa.. ( u can understand wat i mean.. u don? oh come on.. it means that i don remember the lines yet remember the expression i had! got it... lets move on)..
So the first thing.. i encountered was the WOMEN POWER ...DANA EVANS(Barkha dutt's American version).. the protagonist! The first chapter had a strange element, a dream a hallucination..(go read it!)..and now comes the love interest of MISS D... JEFF..and the apple of her eye..KEMAL...and a happy family(WTE broadcastin channel... i suppose..)
An unexpected turn,eventually makes Miss D transfigure into SHERLOCK HOLMES..(god i dunno why.. cant she be happy wit her TRPs and supper??)...She goes hunting for clues... evidences...anythin that would quench her detective thirst... and gets involved into something messsy... reallly messy... and this is when Mr.R and his wife Mrs.P come to her rescue... yeah,...good things happen to good people... (Human tendency... after seein so many movies.. yeah it sounds lik a cliche!)

Slowly the story unfolds... from U.S to France to Russia( what is it? season for world tour?)and now comes the unexpected reverse loop to de plot...(i leave the responsibility to the readers...to find out wat the twist is....I think the shrewd percentage of the mob would find out wat the twist would be way b4 it comes into light!)

This is when everything begins to make sense.. this is when the vulnerable side of the protagonist comes into picture.. this is when the proverb"TO ERR IS HUMAN" is personified!!!
Finally.. the real sense of the entire plot... comes into existence.. the pathos.. the drama... the tarzanian action... the hitech rescue.. ZIP ZAP ZOOM... and suddenly there is a calm,serene,lovely scene... the last leg of the novel...

There are far many more characters involved in this masterpiece which owes its success to them!!It took me around 14hours to finish the entire thing..and i was left with a strange feeling inside..
I KNOW I HAVE LEFT ALMOST ALL THE DETAILS INCOMPLETE.....
I WANT THE READERS TO ENJOY THE FLAVOR I EXPERIENCED!!!

Hail ho..sidney sheldon!hail ho..miss D!
I Hope i havent disappointed anyone...tried my level best not to reveal the story!!(:))

Keep reading till the next blog..and if possible suggest a few good books that wud be worth readin and reviewin!!!!!]

TC... until de next blog

  3. You seem to have a unique style of blogging..Engaging the reader with his probable views on the blog!..Nice..Read this book,probably the same copy,on Anand's recommendation..was quite good..The Kemal character stands out.. The climax part in Russia could have been made better though..

  6. Try reading michael crichton's!
    start with his 'andromeda strain','prey','timeline'(bit big),'sphere'(bit confusing),but dont miss "state of fear"!
    and with sheldon,try reading 'doomsday conspiracy','if tomorrow comes'!and also dan brown's four books!
    on the lighter side,read chetan bhagat books,easy to read and finish!
