Well, I couldn't think of something new to write as a
post. So I thought I could tell you guys about some good books! Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna' write a book review. And I warn you, I'm bad at this....
Mark Haddon has written this great novel about a kid's life. Though a little childish, fifteen year old Christopher Boone has a great taste of Mathematics. He totally loves maths and would do anything to get an A grade in mathematics.
Christopher has regular visits to his school counselor Siobhan who is also his best friend. He is always ready to discuss his problems with the lovely counselor.
But Christopher's life wasn't smooth. He had lost his mother and all he had was his dad and his pet rat, Toby. Cristopher also had many phobias.
He was quite used to this life, but one night... Cristopher finds out that somebody had killed the neighbors dog, Wellington. Cristopher loves dog and he swears to find the culprit. Cristopher thinks it will be fun acting like Sherlock Holmes, but little does he know that there are many more mysteries to be solved.....
Packed with humour, innocence, facts (yes, you heard it right, FACTS), drama and mystery, 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time' is a great book that would satisfy people from all age groups.
RATING- 4.5 / 5 (a must read)

hi adi,
so well written a review that i am tempted to read the book.do write more on the books that u've read.
be confident man...
really, this isn't a bad review
with a little more practice you'll be an ace!
the good thing is that it's short and makes the reader want to read the book or find out what it's about
@ jyotir- Thanx
@ zawan- Yeah! Will try to make myself better! Thanx!
Hey Adi, Poirot is the most memorable guy!
He's so witty. You have to read Agatha Christie... she's just amazing!
it feals it's a great book.
but it's too big book for me to read.
Dear Adi,
A very good review. I have problem with your blog. Whenever I open it thru Internet explorer, I get dark Navy Blue background with titles of your postings along with the pics if any. But no fonts of the articles. I will have to select the entire page with the mouse and then only the letters come clearer in white colours. I think you should address the issue. Whenever I opened it in many cities of Kerala, the same thing happened. Can you please look into it. Do anybody else has the problem?
Adi, please post more reviews.
Love
Gopalakrishnan
@ gopal- Ok, I'll see to the problem...
Adi,
I thank you for addressing the problem this fast.

Dear Adi,
