Book Review : Epic Fail: The Book That Got Me Sent to Prison

By -

Epic Fail: The Book That Got Me Sent to Prison written by Lawn Mower. This book can be coded under the memoir kind of genre.


The title of the book looks very descriptive, and it even kind of indicates the genre of the book. The cover image also looks quite different, just like this book's content.

As I have mentioned above, this is a non-fiction book that explains the author's life in a brutally honest way. This book shares the pain, addiction, struggles, and various emotions of the author in a sarcastic narration. The writing is so eloquent, and I feel like watching a series while reading it. The sequence with the 'Not God Andy' was my favorite in this book; it's really so funny to read. Since it recounts everything that happened in the author's life, the narration is candid without any filters.



  
This is quite a large book, with more than five hundred plus pages in it.  The emojis presented in between the pages were apt and cute; they match perfectly with the emotions that the narration carries. I personally don't like how the readers were addressed at the beginning of the book; it feels quite disrespectful. Though the author has warned about who will enjoy this book, and to whom this book will be suitable, I still feel it little overpowered over that limit. If you like dark, sarcastic, humor-based movies and series, and are a fan of that, then you will love this book. The language presented in this book is very mature, so it will be suitable only for adults or grown-ups.

Book Review: Ram C/o Anandhi by Akhil P. Dharmajan.

Ram C/o Anandhi written by Akhil P. Dharmajan This book was, and still is, a sensation on Bookstagram, creating a stir among readers and encouraging them to give it a try. Let me first take a moment to appreciate the beautiful cover, which portrays all the important characters in the story and gives us a visual representation of them. However, I still prefer the characters' faces that I envisioned in my imagination through the author's narration (which you will find at the end of this review). Ram aka Sriram,  is the male lead of the story. He is from Kerala and came to Chennai to take a film course. This is where he meets Anandi, the female lead, who works as a receptionist at the same film college. The first meeting between these two characters doesn’t go well. However, just as I was settling in for a breezy, cinematic romantic read, the book reveals its true depth, exploring themes like friendship, social issues, transgender struggles, and more. Essentially, this book spans ...

Dynasties of Devotion: The Secrets of 7 Iconic Hindu Temples , written by Deepa Mandlik and translated from Marathi by Aboli Mandlik. The reason I chose this book is because of its title and the majestic cover image of the Shree Padmanabhaswamy Temple . Being a Hindu, I truly adore temples and the positive vibes I feel when visiting them. If there's a book that talks about the iconic temples of India—and especially if it features South Indian temples—it automatically makes its way onto my reading list. That’s exactly how I picked this book. Now let’s talk about the content of this beautiful work. This book takes us on a journey through seven iconic temples —six from India and one from Cambodia. The temples mentioned in this book are:  the Kailasa Cave Temple, the Brihadeeswara Temple at Thanjavur, the Brihadeeswara Temple at Gangaikondacholapuram, the Airavatesvara Temple, Hindu Temples in Cambodia, the Chennakeshava Temple, and the Padmanabhaswamy Temple . These are the seve...

Short Book Review: Finding My Inspiration by Cynthia Griswold

Surviving all odds What can I say about this book? From childhood trauma to failed marriages, from unfulfilled longings and bad decisions to unsupportive colleagues, every step that the author decides to take is filled with uncertainty and difficulties. In spite of this, she rises like a phoenix and urges the readers to do the same. The themes in the book can definitely take you down memory lanes as the narrative is so real and relatable. The best thing about this book is that it doesn't claim to be the absolute authority or lay down concrete rules. It sort of tells you that if 'I could survive this, so can you' and it just fits what I was looking for - a non-lecture format inspiring read! #reading #bookworm #read #books #bookstagram #book #bibliophile #booklover #bookish #booknerd #igreads #bookaddict #reader #instabook #bookaholic #bookphotography #literature #bookstagramfeature #library #instabooks #booknerdigans
