2. Twilight - Stephenie Meyer

After hearing about the huge success of the movie "Twilight", I thought the book must be really good..

Though the book was very captivating, basically a love story between teenagers, the plot around which it was written sounded very absurd and ridiculous. No real good explanations of whether the main character Edward was a vampire or a werewolf or a what till the end.

Only in the last 100 pages or so it becomes clear that he indeed is a vampire.

Though, there is a scene where Bella searches the net about Vampires, the author never really confirms the fact that Edward is one.

And there is also a scene where the entire Vampire family plays Baseball.. God !! I just could not stand it.

Now I understand why the movie was such a big hit. ROBERT PATTINSON...

I am planning next to see the movie and hope it is a little different and much better than the book.

After reading Twilight Iam really cringing to read the next in line New Moon. I don't think I am even gonna bother and just return it back to the library.

1. Lost Symbol By Dan Brown.

Almost a month is over and I havent even finished one single book so far.

Blaming it on the vacation I had when I went back to India for a couple of weeks.

Updating on 27th Jan: Finished the book... Did not expect this ending... Was really mesmerized... The way Brown talks about God being within the man... and the man still searching and probing in the darkness looking for a force above him.....
How did we ignore all the signs in all of our culutres and religions....
I am really looking ahead for the apocalypse to happen.. so that a new age starts...

(the book is actually about tht... if you have seen 2012 you wud understand)

All this new light on life was shed only on the last 50 pages or so... I think its better if you just turn to the last 50 pages and read them.. apart from that the whole book wasn't very good. Dan Brown's previous four books were so good that your mind simply refuses to believe this book can be so pale in front of them. No gripping story lines whatsoever.

I learnt a few very good facts about Washington D.C.. thats all...
