Being an avid bookworm for most of my life, I have already explored a spectrum of genres in young adult literature. However, today I will be focussing on the modern craze—science fiction. Science fiction has been on the rise since the mid-nineteenth century due to rapid developments in science and technology. The imaginations of many…
If you have yet to do so, please read my review of “City of Bones” review before reading this one. The plot for this novel goes like this: Clary wishes to return to her normal life, but her mother is in a magically induced coma, and the world of the shadowhunters refuses to loosen it’s…
I know that the name of fantasy has been somewhat defaced by the emergence of books such as Twilight (I apologize if I’m offending anyone with this statement) and various other dark “romance” books whose only selling point is that they take advantage of the teenage girl’s tendency to be attracted to supernaturally sexy/bad boy personalities.…
So while looking for modern books about war, I came across this book. Judging from its description, this book seemed unique and interesting. But in no way did I expect to break my personal record and read an entire novel in under a day. Basically, Daisy is sent to England to visit her aunt and…

Basically, “Good Omens” is a comedic take on the Christian end times (most vividly described in the book of Revelations)…
I’ll admit it, the only reason I read this book was because I heard that it’s similar to The Hunger Games. But as it turns out, the similarities are quite small. Basically Thomas, the protagonist, wakes up with his memories wiped and finds himself in a place called the Glade – a village of sorts,…
Okay, I think it’s time to return to book reviews. I will start with my favourite series, the Hunger Games trilogy. This trilogy is composed of The Hunger Games, Catching Fire and Mockingjay. Basically… a war destroyed North America, but from the rubbles rose a dictatorship called Panem. Panem is made up of a high-tech…
Here’s a book about the more exciting side of physics. So I was thinking, I like reading, and I’m also quite interested in the world or theoretical physics. Why not read a book about theoretical physics? So I found this book, Physics of the Impossible, written by Michio Kaku-world renowned physicist (and co-founder of the…
