a purple sea - Ambai


How beautifully she writes! Although this is the translation of Ambai's (C S Lakshmi) original in Tamil, How beautifully she writes? This is the proof of the fact that I can't do reviews especially books. I don't know enough words to do that!

My rating 5 0n 5

Although this isn't the best book to pick up to cheer yourselves.

Alice's adventures in Wonderland


What can I say? I had not read the full version. And Tis was such a joy! This birthday present I like :)

The Da Vinci Cod

No that isn't a spelling mistake the book is really called so. It has the tagline A fish Parody. Even the author's name is a parody - Don Brine (Real name Adam Roberts). The book goes to painful extents to disprove everything the original book The Da Vinci Code but the pun and PJs in it are entertaining. Hilarious at places. I am very very tempted to spill the spoilers but will desist :)

One thing though, Don Brine suggests that this parody be made into a film and have the gorgeous George Clooney play the lead role. I'd say they should remake the original itself with Clooney. As much as I like Tom Hanks he wasn't convincing in the role of Robert Langdon or was it Robert Donglan? I can't remember now :)

My rating 3.5 on 5
