'Parineeta' surprised me in a real good way. I read it after watching the movie and it was simply zabardast. I mean, I was expecting something good but this simply was great and as usual, the book was far better than the movie and I was surprised how many things they had changed in the movie. At that time I wished I could read Hindi so I could have read it in the original language as I had to read the English version. I feel books are best in their original language cuz that's the words coming directly from the author. Nothing can beat that... but even the English translation of that book was classy... so thumbs up for that book!

I read a book called "The Giver"! Its the best book ever. Before I started reading it, i thought it was going to be boring, but it turned out to be amazing.
I really recommend this book if you like reading,

heres a summary from the back of the book:

Jonas's world is perfect. Everything is under control. There is no war or fear or pain. There are no choices. Every person is assigned a role in the community.
When Jonas turns twelve, he is singled out to receive special training from The Giver. The giver alone holds the memory of the true pain and pleasure of life. Now its time for Jonas to receive the truth. There is no turning back.

One book dat really suprised me was winter's tale by shakespeare..I have earlier read works of shakespeare but somehow they have failed to reach upto their hype but winter's tale was one of the less discussed work of shakespeare and it was beyond greatness! 👏

Other book which suprised me in a good way was Charlie and Choclate Factory.. It is a kiddish book and i didnt expect much wen i read it but it was the most fun-filled ride reading dat book! 😃

We just read this bookcalled "the separate peace" in my engllish class, and it scared me to be BFF with any one because in this book it shows how a best friend can get jealous of another friend and ruin his life...even thou the main character ofthis book didnt mean to..he pushed his best friend of a tree just because he was jealous of him and he thought that his friend was trying to make his life misreable......

sad na?? 😭 i no.....

I'm in Germany and they shipped it from England for me. I ordered it in the bookstore here. The cover has Saif, Sanjay Dutt and Vidya Balan on it. This version was prolly published after the movie.

Btw, you can order the book on amazon.com . Which country are you in?
