Some books take you for a surprise. I was recently browsing a bookshop and came across a lot of young aspiring Indian Authors. Most of them were chicklits and female authors but to find a male author in this selection was a surprise. The title of the book struck a chord with me. Even I too had a love story….so I picked the book. Haven’t never heard about the author nor the book. I felt I should try reading it, and boy did I feel touched. To know its a true story was even more touching and I could feel the pain the author must have gone through, through his words. It had a similar effect as Erich Segal’s Love Story did to me. I would recommend this book to one and all.

Another great book by Mr. Gaiman’s. It has a very interesting plot and environment. A darker book but that is the charm of the book. You can thoroughly enjoy the books it moves at great speed. I completed the book in one go and will sure read this one again. I am definitely looking forward to a sequel…
