Can anyone give me a personal review of a book you have read?

Question

can anyone tell me about a book you have read and write as long a review as possible so it can inspire me and give me some ideas as to what to start writing...

Answer 1

The Inheritance Of Loss by Kiran Desai. It won the last year's Booker Prize. It is a wonderful book. It deals with the theme of old-age depression on one side and globalisation on the other. People who run away to feel the America-dream and fail, will perhaps better understand the book. Its a wonderful book.

I do a shortened variant of this. When I conclude a e-book, I write a mini-overview for myself, often only a couple sentences... one million-three sentences of the fundamental plot, often one million sentence approximately what I inspiration of it. I additionally maintain a standard record of books I've learn through style, and upload books in as I learn them (Comedy, SciFi/Fantasy, Psychology, Classics, and many others). If I like a e-book, I recognise I will finally re-learn it. When I'm seeking to make a decision what to learn subsequent, I can skim over the record to peer if there's something I've learn earlier than that jumps out on the second. It's additionally priceless while anybody asks for a e-book advice or if anything I learn used to be well... I've already placed into phrases what the e-book used to be approximately and what I inspiration of it, so I do not have got to consider instantaneous of a well technique to describe it.

Though I think that your search is misguided, I will "bite". There are two books that stand out in my mind. One is Bram Stoker's "Dracula". The other is Herman Melville's "Moby Dick". I hope I got the spelling correct.
"Dracula" was written from many points of view. The one which was missing was that of Dracula. I found it intrigueing to get into the minds of the individual characters. I also found it difficult to follow the story line at times. I had to always keep track of who's point of view I was in. Sometimes I had to back-track to keep up. But it was worth the effort.
"Moby Dick" was written from a single character's point of view. It is a story of survival after an intense struggle. I found it hard to follow as well. I needed the dictionary which was included with the book. There were terms that only a person of that era would know which were specific to whaling. An analogy would be "pushing the envelope". Everyone knows that phrase though it used to be exclusive to test flights and emergencies among pilots. The other difficulty with "Moby Dick" was the sentence structure. The sentences were so long and complex that it might take several times through to get it. That would be sentence by sentence...not reading the book straight through several times. Again, it was worth the effort.

I hope this helps. Everyone has his own inspiration; I hope yours comes from within.

Answer 4

Imagine Great Britain in 1985. Imagine an alternate universe in which the Crimean War is still being waged and Wales is a separate country from England. Imagine a world in which great pieces of literature are being stolen and, if the original manuscript is changed every copy in existence changes. Imagine a a place where there are Special Ops forces whose territory is literature. Imagine the ability to jump into novels and meet the people inside them. Now imagine a criminal mastermind who begins to steal characters from works of literature. My very brief take on The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde. It's very clever and a lot of fun; excellent, in fact!

Answer 5

The Road by Cormac Mc Carthy. This year's winner of the Pulitzer Prize. It is filled with amazingly beautiful prose inside a simple story about life most basic instincts - survival and love. It is a masterpiece.
