In continuation to the reviews of the educations books that I bought for my son.

Here are the reviews of 3 more...

Interesting book with nice concept

The book contains many good colorful images to look at and learn.

The title itself is very intriguing. And the concepts shared inside are not just for kids, some are for adults too.

A must have book for kids around 10 year old age. 

Do not buy it for kids under 8-9 years old and it would only confuse them.

"This is one complicated book. Seriously. It is not for small children, it is for 10+ age kids.

I see that is a collection of various scenarios where Wonderhouse has shown how vision helps us in day-to-day scenario. It is a very different book. And truly deserves the award.

As I was scrolling through it, I realized how much efforts author/s must have made to compile this book. 

It is a genuine collection and the way various scenarios are depicted, it is amazing.

I couldn't help but spend couple of minutes on each page, trying to soak in every minute detail mentioned there.

You just cannot skip through it. It is that wonderful.

If you kid is 10+ and has a curiosity level of an Elephant, then this book is a must-buy for you."

Ever missed those childhood days? Well I did recently after going through this marvellous book.
Well, it is not just any book, it is a collection of beautiful poems that we used to hear long ago.
These days our kids only listen to what Youtube offers. But this book is amazing.
Using it, I am now able to sing the poems to my little one. And though he cannot read as of now, he is too young for it, he can relate to the images in the book and recite with me.
I just love this book

Hope you enjoy reading it.

Lots of Love

Blurb:

The mastermind behind the Irish literary Renaissance, William Butler Yeats had a remarkable literary career spanning across five decades.

This collectable edition brings together his early poems along with some of his finest verses composed in the years following his Nobel Prize. It includes The Wanderings of Oisin, ‘The Sad Shepherd’, ‘The Stolen Child’, ‘The Lake of Innisfree’, ‘The Sorrow of Love’, ‘When You Are Old’, ‘An Irish Airman foresees his Death’, ‘The Second Coming’, ‘Sailing to Byzantium’, ‘Leda and the Swan’ and ‘Byzantium’.

Each poem gives an insight into Yeats’ beliefs, philosophy and also the times in which he wrote. Each is a specimen of his exquisite craftsmanship.

Review:

"Such a beautiful collection

""When you are old and grey and full of sleep, And nodding by the fire, take down this book, And slowly read…""

The above quote is at the back of the book, however, though I am young, I could not stop myself from reading this amazing collection.

W.B. Yeats, I am now a member of your fanbase. What amazing work. I just loved every word of your poems.

The beauty of the words from this talented poet is that, his words are a combination. Though you are reading a poem, you will feel that it is a story that is being played in front of your eyes. I am mesmerized.

Plus, the hardback makes it so easy to preserve and cherish for life.

If you like to read classics and poems, than this book is for you."

Hope you enjoy reading it.

Book Review - The Prophecies of Nostradamus

Blurb:

“Being seated by night in secret study,

Alone resting on the brass stool:

A slight flame coming forth from the solitude,

That which is not believed in vain is made to succeed.”

More than four centuries ago, Nostradamus, a French physician and seer, predicted many events which later shook the world. The Great Fire of London, the rise of Hitler to power, the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the assassination of President John Kennedy and the 9/11 terrorist attacks are some of the events he prophesied.

The Prophecies is a collection of Nostradamus’ oracular quatrains containing his predictions. This edition is a translation by Edgar Leoni.

Review:

"Mesmerizing

Nostradamus has always fascinated me. His prophecies have always intrigued me.

He was a fictional character in one of the shows I watched years ago, 'Reign'. And the way his far-sightedness is depicted there forced me to dwell on his powers.

Who was he? What aided his sights? What triggered them? And so many more questions always pop in my mind when I think about this mastermind.

Well, what can we say today, he is a character of the past and we cannot do much about it.

Hence, when I saw this book, i was intrigued.

This book contains so many nostradomus's prophecies. They are just amazing.

Yes, it would have been better if they were translated well, and centuries were labeled properly. But at the price and levels, this is the best we can expect.

I am still in awe of this book."

Hope you enjoy reading it.

Book Review - Second Go

#BookReviews

Blurb:

Penned in real time, from the hospital bed while battling for life, on a Samsung Galaxy smartphone’s 4x2 inch keypad, the only device allowed to the patient in her super-sanitized recuperating room, this book follows a hybrid format of medico-psycho thriller, interspersed with SMS chats, transcripts of medical records and other workings of an addled mind overcome by sickness, yet determined to pull through.

It is a first-hand account of a liver transplant recipient’s journey in India, chronicled from the patient’s perspective in vivid detail as a series of dramatic events unfold in her life, completing the cycle from sickness to health, despair to hope.

It also tells the story of a single mom and breadwinner of the family, her strong bonding with her adoptive daughter and her family and friends’ support.

The author hopes that this book will give courage and direction to other patients whose lives are hanging by a thread, patients awaiting a life-saving cadaveric organ donation.

Review:

"life is unpredicatable, but no matter what it throws at us, we should endure it with strenght and smile.

Second Go is a non-fiction book based on real-life events. The author has penned down her journey of pain and sufferings. Due to some unfortunate circumstances, she had to get a liver transplant. And this book narrates what went down in her life.

The story starts in a turmoil to get a liver. And it ends with her being saved. Throughout the book we see how a person struggles in today's advanced medical world. How a patient and his/her family lives in a constant fear of losing a loved one. How financial situations wreak havoc. And how a normal person goes insane in the entire process.

In a way, esp for me, it is a very depressing book because the way it is written, you can feel the pain of the author -- this is a compliment for the author as her writing style is amazing. But, all throughout I had to keep one thing in the mind, everything ended well because this book is a proof that the author (i.e. the patient in the book) is alive and writing.

This book is for everyone who is or knows someone suffering from a life-threatening disease. I would recommend it to them."

Hope you enjoy reading it.
