My TOP 5 BOOK REVIEWS

BEST SELLERS AND MUST-READS!!!

What are books but an investment? But before buying a book, it is essential that you know what lies inbetween those flashily designed hard covers. So to make it easier for you, I’ve gathered my own collection of books that are absolute MUST-READS and with a small description about the book too! So read on and find what you like best!

    1.    The Shopaholic Series by Sophie Kinsella

                                                                    OK. Don’t panic. Don’t panic.

Sophie Kinsella is famous for beginning her chapters with these lines; a panicked Becky Bloomwood frantically trying to reassure herself that her latest bank overdraft is not that bad. But unfortunately, it always is. But still, Becky manages to spring out of it every other time, be it in her own bizarrely hilarious ways!

What are clothes without money? A shopaholic’s adventure like no other, this 6-book series takes every modern age reader through an uproar of shopping dilemmas, where her carrier bags are way higher in number than her cash.

 But money doesn’t grow on trees, so Becky is forced to cut back on her expenses or make more money, both of which are insanely confusing to understand for a shopaholic.

Smart, silly, clever and so funny to the point that it would give you a stitch in the side, the Shopaholic Series takes 1^st place in my book list.

2.    Angels and Demons by Dan Brown

Fire. Earth. Water. Air… Four elements. Four ingenious ways to kill a man…

When science and religion start bearing their teeth at each other, strange things can happen. With a ticking time bomb on the loose, Robert Langdon finds himself on a mysterious quest which involves saving the Catholic Church from disintegrating and saving hundreds from dying.

A breathless journey that never lets you put the book down; the suspense, the fright, and the spine-chilling captivation of the writing, Dan Brown had indeed mastered a Best seller. Full of crazy but true facts and jaw-dropping horrors, it is a book that can be matched by none, making it No.2 on my must-reads!

3.    The Host by Stephanie Meyer

Two species, two minds, two guys…and one being.

Aliens invade the Earth and they need a body to live in, so they replace the minds of humans with their own kind and thrive in these new found…hosts.

But Wanda’s beautiful host, Melanie, hasn’t gone anywhere, thus causing a body to be shared by two minds. Amidst struggles to survive in the newly transformed world, things start to get very complicated, especially when it comes to love…

Written by the author of the Twilight saga, I’d say this one captivated me much more!

4.    The Hunger Games  by Suzanne Collins

“Happy Hunger Games! And may the odds be ever in your favour!” rings the high-pitched voice of the pink-haired Effie Trinket.

Yes, the time of slaughter, brutality and cold blooded murder has arrived. The cruel, corrupt Capitol holds the annual tradition of selecting two contestants from each of the 12 Districts. And the crowds watch in sick silence as children as young as twelve get chosen to take part in the slaughter-games where the contestants have to kill each other in an enclosed arena until finally…only one stands.

But when Katniss Everdeen of District 12 volunteers to replace her little sister in the Games, things begin to change…drastically.

Fast paced and full of action, the book is so good it was made into a movie with the 2^nd movie, Catching Fire, in Theatres now.

5.    The Undomestic Goddess By Sophie Kinsella

A successful lawyer in a highly credited firm; Samantha is rich, witty and has an IQ of 600, what could go wrong with life, right? Everything.

To Samantha, money is everything. Who cares about mops and brooms and cooking pans? Heck, she’s never even seen inside a washing machine before!

But things change and Samantha is forced to work as a house-maid!

Laugh out loud as the high-flying lawyer dusts the ornaments with tissue paper, and struggles to slice bread. Ironing boards are a wonder, and what the heck is an asparagus strainer???

But maybe cleaning toilets is a happier option than being a lawyer? Find out as her journey makes your eyes tear in laughter, it is a definite must-read!

Hope you found the reviews useful! Happy reading!
