I If you want to read about travelling then what could be the better option other than Sir Mustansar's travelogues. What a beautiful tavelogue it is! I thoroughly enjoyed reading it along with many heart breaks. One book and with so many places and one keep on wandering one after another....... Qandhar Hindukash Harat Ghazni Garshik Mashhad Turbat Istanbul Princess Island Balgrad Bern Frankfurt Berlin Holland River Elbe Lake district London Amsterdam etc The best thing in his books is the detailed account about the people, hotels, architect & apart from the place visited. Furthermore the historical information & his personal experiences is cherry on the top. Last but not the least he would make you feel that you were there with him (Feel with capital F)
P.S: Welcome my friend, welcome to my hidden library ^_^...more

She was a prism through which sadness could be divided into its infinite spectrum". One of the beautiful quote from the book.
But the book, What the ......................... I really don't know what to say actually about this book. As written on the book cover (work of a genius) ok i admit it is. But Did I love this book or i hate it at maximum? Gone through different feelings of love, anger, hate, happiness, pain, fun but I just got headache every time I read it and that's the reason for ending it too late and reading other books between this time period. Many times I feel sick while reading and with the start of another chapter I feel energetic and alive. That's how the whole book is....... A unique combination of beautiful and shitty things all going one after another alongwith complicated events of the war. Moreover the letters of Alex for Jonathan written in the book is another mind using tactic. Few chapters and phrases are so excellent and deep that you are forced to immersed in the magic of the writer while other are so digusting that you just want to hit your head with something. Why Jonathan whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy why that's what I was saying while reading those filthy chapters. I mean how could one think of a story like this. A grandfather having 68 affairs with his dead arm and still don't know what's love. Whats the purpose of writing that part??? Seriously that's intolerable..... The only part I like, Sasha with his grandfather alongwith the hero (Jonathan) in the search of Augustine. And I hate the part of Brod, Kokler & yankel.
Not every book is for everyone and this one is definitely not for me...... Apart from the fact I like it or not but that's seriously not an easy book to write. 2 stars for the parts I like and for that intricate work of a genius but still I dislike most of the parts.....more

Many scA heart touching novel and as written on the cover page "for everyone who love". This book is simply just love. It made me feel sad and happy. Many scene brought tears to my eyes. Emotional intense piece of writing. Though fictional but it hit me hard. Few years back when that novel was dramatized I hardly watched 2 or 3 episodes and the last one. But now after reading it, don't know what to say, but they just ruined the beauty of the novel it's excellently written. Didn't like and agree on few things but on the whole a good one to read. And yes for me it comes under one - sitting novels....more
