Review - "Fallen" by Lauren Kate

SYNOPSIS-There’s something achingly familiar about Daniel Grigori.

Mysterious and aloof, he captures Luce Price’s attention from the moment she sees him on her first day at the Sword & Cross boarding school in sultry Savannah, Georgia. He’s the one bright spot in a place where cell phones are forbidden, the other students are all screw-ups, and security cameras watch every move.

Even though Daniel wants nothing to do with Luce–and goes out of his way to make that very clear–she can’t let it go. Drawn to him like a moth to a flame, she has to find out what Daniel is so desperate to keep secret . . . even if it kills her.

AUTHOR- Lauren Kate

RATING- 2.5/5

MY MUSINGS- The book was good enough, but was mostly plot-driven. There was no force in the characters. Luce was just a whiney teen with no idea what to do with her life. I mean, seriously, how can she love Daniel one moment and not love him another. I guess it was simply forced into it. And that's exactly why the writing style was horrible. It didn't make me feel the way Luce did. I forced myself to think like her, and when I finally accomplish it, she changes her mind! And that was so irritating. Her erratic mood and character was frustrating in a way that pulled the book downwards.

And the one thing what I totally didn't get was why did Lauren Kate have to write in 3rd person from Luce's perspective?

FINAL SAY- It's an okay-okay book, and I would reccomned it for those who want to read something princess diary-ish.

Reading Wish-list for March (and the time it takes me to read them)

Hey,

I was scrolling through some websites and blogs, compiling all the books I wanted to read, that I thought I should probably write them down. So heres the list:

• Fallen ny Lauren Kate 
• Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick
• Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater
• Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl
• Gone With the Wind by Magaret Mitchell (I know, there are still a lot of classics I haven't read)
• Persuasion by Jane Austen (I'm halfway through. Yay...)
• Mansfield Park by Jane Austen 
• The Hunter Games by Suzzane Collins
• Catching Fire by Suzzane Collins

If any of these boos aren't worth reading, just tell me to get them off the list. And if any of you think that I should add some book to the list, you can write it write here.

Thanks

World Book Fair Delhi

Hey,

On Sunday, I visited the World Book Fair in Pragati Maidan, Delhi. The fair was simply HUGE (and that's when I only visited 2 out of 8 halls). Almost all the publishers whose books I wanted were there. Random House, Om Books House, Pan Macimillian, Roli Books, Hachette, Harper Collins, Frank Brothers and a lot more (except Simon and Schuster (I wanted Hush, Hush by Becca FitzPatrick really bad)). I got quite a bit of books. Some books (like hush hush) were ones I wanted and couldn't find, but probably Though probably one book shouldn't cloud my experience. All in all, it was great, and all book--lovers are reccomended to go there next time.

p.s.- I'll review the books around mid-March
