Walk #04: A Step of Faith by Richard Paul Evans

writermala, May 25, 2013

When one starts reading Evans, particularly when it is a book in the "walk" series, one is full of expectations. In my case I was not let down. Alan Christoffersen's journey through America is everyone's journey of life. The lessons we learn are the lessons we would learn in a fully lived life. Indeed a "must own" book. Can't wait for the next book in the series.

Secrets of a Freelance Writer, Third Edition: How to Make $100,000 a Year or More by Robert W. Bly

writermala, May 17, 2013

1. The title of the book is a misnomer. It ought to be "Secrets of a Commercial Freelance Writer."

2. I expected the book to be dated and it was somewhat dated.

Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight, and Find Your Path Back to Health by William Davis MD

writermala, May 12, 2013

Hmm! This book indeed provides "food for thought." So, is the premise that Wheat is the root of all evil," at least worth investigating or at most be discarded as scaremongering?

Well, Dr. Davis has convinced me enough to take a shot, adopt a wheat free diet briefly, and examine the consequences. Somehow I feel I may be in for a surprise.

Slumdog Millionaire by Vikas Swarup

writermala, May 10, 2013

Even after watching the movie I found the book really exciting. I would say I enjoyed the book much more than the movie!

The story is of a boy from Mumbai's slum who goes onto answer an incredible number of questions in a "who wants to be a millionaire" like quiz show. The story reaches a climax at the pinnacle and the reader reads on with bated breath.

While the novel is fiction, much of it is based on fact and speaks to the reality of life in India and the dichotomy between the lives of the rich and the poor.

A great debut novel-truly deserving of its box office success as a movie.
