The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera has four main characters which go through lightness and heaviness alternately during the course of the book. It is a book of variations and themes, and it is through these variations (strengths and weaknesses) that the author brings alterations in the life of his characters. The plot moves forward with the help of complicated chronology (which means you will have to jump from one time to...more
Sequel production in novels is generally a predictable affair, and the authors often end up going by ready templates while writing so the readers are always in familiar surroundings and they may feel as if they are hanging out with their old pals. There is consistent demand for sequels from the public which makes the publishers also create pressure on the authors. But then there are readers who like their favourite authors to be original and willing to take some risks so they may surprise them. It is an Original SequelDaniel Silva fulfills both these requirements beautifully. He understands very well the readers dont want to read form letters. The Rembrandt Affair is the tenth novel having the Israeli Assassin Gabriel Allon as protagonist which is both fresh and satisfies your desire for a sequel as well. The first half of The Rembrandt Affair is like any other detective novel where the protagonist Gabriel Allon is leading a retired life with a beautiful wife. An old acquaintance comes to him asking for help to solve an art heist. The CIA and MI6 agents as well as the familiar Mossad agents also appear to make it slightly predictable (and comfortable for the public). And The Crime...more

What a month this has been, not only did our Blue Point Birman, Charlie go missing our Jack Russell, Spot also decided to go walk about a few days ago... Charlie, who is predominantly a house cat, got out through an open door one afternoon. As soon as I realized, I rushed outside the back and began calling her name but to no avail so I walked up and down the road a couple of times asking passersby if they had seen a "white fluffy cat" around. Unfortunately none of them had seen her, but thankfully Charlie had one of Pets Bureau's ID Tags which eased my worrying. Knowing that when Charlie was found, she had her collar and Tag that would lead back to us when the person who found her called the number on the back and quoted her unique ID Tag number. Fortunately it didn't come to that as Charlie was found hiding under a parked car after jumping over the back wall and running across the road, a little shaken up but no worse for wear. Spot's case was not the same though, he had the ID Tag but he had not been activated yet so when he went missing while down at the Stables with a family member we were very worried. Spot is very young, energetic and easily distracted...more
