the quill's story: Book review: Cat's eye
http://thequillsstory.blogspot.com/2012/07/book-review-cats-eye.html
Book reviews and much more. Thursday, July 12, 2012. Book review: Cat's eye. Time is not a line but a dimension, like the dimension of space. The only problem I had with this book is Elaines preoccupation with her friend Cordelia. I did not really understand why she lingered most on the memories of cordelia. why she misses her much. I did not warm up to Cordelia's character. The sun sets in long, chilly, lingering sunset, flamingo pink, then salmon, then the improbable vibrant red of Mercurochrome. Im no...

the quill's story: Book Review: The Red Queen
http://thequillsstory.blogspot.com/2012/08/book-review-red-queen.html
Book reviews and much more. Sunday, August 5, 2012. Book Review: The Red Queen. The light of the open sky is brilliant after the darkness of the inner rooms. Now I know the reason behind Phillipa Gregory's bestsellers, history comes alive in her writing. It was an engrossing read and it took me two days to finish the book. She raises her eyebrows at my ringing emphasis. 'They wont like it', she says, and she goes out of the room to tell my brother-in-law Jasper that the girl is being stuborn and will...

http://thequillsstory.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Book reviews and much more. Sunday, April 29, 2012. I bought two books yesterday. One of it is Barbara Taylor Bradford's Letter from a stranger, which i have read and reviewed. The second is a non-fiction by Pico Iyer, titled The open road-the global journey of the fourteenth Dalai Lama. I hope it is interesting and insightful as I have always been interested in reading about the Tibet and the life of Dalai Lama. Well I guess I better get back to the exam questions. Cheers and have a great Sunday! From c...

Book reviews and much more. Sunday, July 15, 2012. Yet another week has passed by. What did I accomplish this week? Two reviews, which is a feat considering how slow I am to write reviews =). I'm pretty much excited about my upcoming trip to Semporna (the coastal town in the state of Sabah, Malaysia). One more day to go and I'll be on my way to my island getaway. Ill post all about it next week. Dusk is falling gently, painting the sky above KL city in the softest pink, peach and blue. There were years a...

the quill's story: Book Review: Remarkable Creatures
http://thequillsstory.blogspot.com/2012/08/book-review-remarkable-creatures.html
Book reviews and much more. Friday, August 17, 2012. Book Review: Remarkable Creatures. Lightening has struck me all my life. I just finished reading three books by Tracy Chevalier and decided to write the review of Remarkable Creatures first. Why? Because it was so very different and unique. The first sentence was so. I have long noted that people tend to lead with one particular feature, a part of the face or body. My brother john for instance leads with his eyebrows. It is not just that they f...We sa...

http://thequillsstory.blogspot.com/2012/07/book-review-postmistress.html
Book reviews and much more. Saturday, July 14, 2012. Book Review: The Postmistress. There were years after it happened, after i'd returned from the town and came back here to the busy blank of the city, when some comment would be tossed off about the Second world war and how it had gone-some idiotic remark about clarity and purpose-and I'd resist the urge to stub out my cigarette and bring the dinner party to a staisfying halt. I noticed that this book had some rave reviews and also some average reviews&...

Book reviews and much more. Tuesday, May 8, 2012. Book review: The shadow of the wind. The shadow of the wind. Historical fiction, Literary fiction. I still remember the day my father took me to the Cemetery of Forgotten Books for the first time. Ok, I've got five words to describe this book;. Masterpiece, spellbinding, thrilling, soulful, beautiful. Now when I think further, I can add more adjective but it doesn't matter. My rating and the 5 words would have told you whats necessary. About accursed book...
