"For you, a thousand times over"| The Kite Runner | Khaled Hosseini | Book Review

A fiction brings you different images and perspectives in mind, it makes you think, it makes you create your own world of imagination, it lives in you, it makes you feel the emotions filled in it. A fictional
novel can make you change too. Personally, I have always loved fiction.

Hearing good reviews of 'the Kite Runner' from many booklovers, I wanted to read it since long. Then I gifted it to myself along with 'And the mountains echoed' by the same writer (couldn't make-out to read it though) 

An Afghani fiction novel, 'The Kite Runner' is a heart-wrenching story, which revolves around the life of Amir and Hassan, two little boys who are attached to each other, in many different ways. The honesty and loyalty of Hassan is very touching.

The story makes you get back to your own life and introspect about yourself. Throughout the read, I questioned to myself,  'Did I ever make such mistake in my life?' or ' did I treated the ones who love me and the ones whom I love for granted, at any point of time?' I literally cried over many stages of the novel. 

'Though we cannot undo the mistakes that happened already which we didn't really want to happen that way, we can always do good and be good in future, in relation to what happened earlier' - this is truly a lesson for lifetime. 
"For you, a thousand times over" - this line would surely melt your hearts.

Generally, I go for slow reading. The last book I remember reading in a speed and continous mode is the Harry Potter series. But this book kept me reading and made me finish reading it in very less time.  It was so deeply touching. After finishing, I was like, why did this finish so fast!?

 Even a small line mattered, to connect the short and meaningful plot. It was so beautifully knitted by the author. Didn't get a boring part in it.

This book can bring a change and I recommend it to all the readers and non-readers out there. And I am so eager to read 'A Thousand Splendid Suns' now!!! 

Ratings : 4.9 for 5

Yes, it is an easy read, simple, wonderful, sorrowful at the same time.

ಪುಸ್ತಕ: ಕರ್ವಾಲೊ  ಲೇಖಕರು: ಕೆ.ಪಿ. ಪೂರ್ಣಚಂದ್ರ ತೇಜಸ್ವಿ  ಇತ್ತೀಚೆಗೆ audio book ನತ್ತ ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ಮೋಹ ಜಾಸ್ತಿ.. English Novels ಓದುವಾಗ ಅದೇ ಪುಸ್ತಕದ Audiobook ಕೇಳುತ್ತಾ, ಪುಸ್ತಕ‌ ಓದಿಕೊಂಡು‌ ಹೋಗುವ ಮಜವೇ ಬೇರೆ. (ಆಂಗ್ಲ ಭಾಷೆಯಲ್ಲಾದರೆ ಬರೀ audio book ಕೇಳುವಾಗ ಕೆಲವು ಶಬ್ದಗಳು, ಉಚ್ಚಾರಣೆ ಸ್ಪಷ್ಟವಾಗಿ ಗೊತ್ತಾಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ). ಹೀಗೇ ಮೊನ್ನೆ ಒಮ್ಮೆ ಯಾವುದಾದರೂ ಕನ್ನಡ AudioBook ಸಿಗಬಹುದಾ ಎಂದು ನಮ್ಮ ಬಡವರ ಬಂಧು YouTube ನಲ್ಲಿ ತಡಕಾಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾಗ "ಬನ್ನಿ ಓದೋಣ" ಎಂಬ Channel ಸಿಕ್ಕಿತು. ಅದರಲ್ಲಿ ಪೂಚಂತೇ ಯವರ ಈ ಕಾದಂಬರಿಯ ಕಂಡೆ! ತೇಜಸ್ವಿಯವರ ಕಾದಂಬರಿಗಳನ್ನು ಓದುವ ಬಯಕೆ ಮೊದಲಿಂದಲೇ ಇತ್ತು..

The Street Lawyer by John Grisham : #BookReview

The lockdown has given me a great time to read books in my long TBR list!  Today, here I review one of the books that won my heart! I randomly picked this novel from the library and enjoyed the novel to the fullest. It is a very rare kind of novels I have read till now.. This, is a story of a millionaire lawyer who becomes a street lawyer, when he reaches the state of having only thousand bucks; his life  takes a huge U-turn just in a month's time! The novel also talks about the homeless, the reasons for them to become homeless, their problems, etc.. Neatly written till the end! The English is easily understandable. Rating: 4.5/5 If you too are a bookoholic, don't miss to read this one. Also, comment your opinions below. Happy reading! -Anki
