Rating : 3.5/5

I think this is my first book with Stephen King that is less than 300 pages. I felt some magic of King is missing in this book, which left me with more questions than the answers it provided towards the end. First off, the man in black and thr gunslinger .. who are these two characters? Are they even human? The Man in black - in whose chase the Gunslinger goes - says he is immortal and made so by the man in the dark tower.. but what about the gunslinger ? How did the gunslinger get on his trail? What is this dark tower and how does one get to it?

The book would be mind blowing,I feel, if all the aspects of it are known. But since a lot of it is kept under wraps - perhaps to be disclosed in later parts - this one feels incomplete and dissatisfying. Nevertheless, I will look forward to reading the others in the series.

The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough book review

The Thorn Birds By Colleen McCullough Rating 3.75/5 Genres : Australia, Vatican city, Cardinal, Romance, Generational fiction, Historical fiction Bah. I dont know. I felt this is just an ok sort of book. The only aspect that stirred me and struck a chord with me is the all encompassing, soul level love between Maggie and Father Ralph de Bricassart.

And whats more..there is plenty of repeat in the events of their lives..what has happened to the mother, happens to the daughter and so on.. Coming to the story. Maggie Cleary is brought up with a bunch of brothers in a very p

Valley of the Dolls by Jacqueline Susan

Valley of the Dolls (1966) by Jacqueline Susann 510 pages (Kindle Digital Edition) Genres : Historical Fiction, Romance, Philosophical, Psychological Fiction Rating : 5/5 🥰🥰🥰 One of the best books I have ever read. :) Eerie, omnious and potent with nerve wracking energy. Cannot delineate this story into one subject - this is a concoction dealing with elements of love, romance, betrayal, loss, disillusionment, mental illness, mystery, cancer and deeply engaging,amazing writing talent of Susann. It kept me hooked through out as I traveled in the shoes of three women who bond during their struggling years for fame and success and break apart once they have reached their pinnacles of success! This story exposed the vacancy and the void felt even by the most coveted and successful people. The journey to the top is always a lonely journey and even more so when one reaches the spot. The three women main characters - Anne, Neely, Jennifer - have got what it takes t
