Review: Men and Dreams: In the Dhauladhar

Men and Dreams: In the Dhauladhar by Kochery C. Shibu
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Thanks for asking to review.
The book turned out unexpectedly good. The storyline is almost smooth, the past and present well handled. There were so many characters, each with their own stories, it seemed like the making of a series. The climax is too rushed.
I recommend giving the book a try.

Review: The Carnivorous Carnival

The Carnivorous Carnival by Lemony Snicket
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Starting a series at book #9 is not what I usually do. But I did and here we are.
The book is not as gory as the author proclaims. The style of writing is fantastic, the characters memorable, a little too smart, and the novel a page turner. I hope to someday buy all the books in the series and binge-read them.

Review: The Slippery Slope

The Slippery Slope by Lemony Snicket
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bought just the two books at the Hyderabad book fair and am I glad!
They are interesting but I am going to take the author's suggestion of not continuing reading them (because I don't have the rest, otherwise there's no stopping me :).
The characters are so intriguing that you wish to read the whole thing, however, my instinct says the author will not complete the story and I am going to go with it.
I did love the style of storytelling.
