WHY BOOKS ARE YOUR BESTFRIEND!

"With freedom, books, flowers and the moon, who couldn't be happy?" -Oscar Wilde.




Reading is the hobby that lets you grow alongside relaxation and allows you to have different, new and delightful experiences sitting at home with a cosy blanket and a hot coffee cup. It could be travelling through the worlds of Narnia and the wizarding world of Hogwarts or just entering the life story of two lovers, but whatever may your choice be, a good book is sure to leave an impact or a lingering feeling of satisfaction and closure. I feel that one who says that he doesn't like reading has just not found the perfect book, and I've seen friends holding on to that one special book that converts them from 'book-virgins' to complete bibliophiles! for me, when I was a little kid, my uncle had gifted me a set of children books, and well I was convinced nothing could be a better time-traveller than books, also thanks to the fact that I wasn't born in this Instagram-generation. I read everything from Nancy Drew and Enid Blyton books to hiding from the librarian and borrowing adult Cambridge books from my school library b'coz they were just so well written and this love for books never stopped increasing ever since. I just wanna request all my readers, to help your friends find that one special book, that might change their lives or at least help them find an escape when they are tired of running in this cruel real world.

When the sea goes down, there will come from the mainland boats and men. And they will find ten dead bodies and an unsolved problem on Soldier Island."
.
This is probably one of the most intense crime novels ever and an almost unsolvable mystery. This was the most difficult book that Agatha Christie wrote and once you read it, you would realize why.
The premise, (spoilers) I am sure you know, is this: ten people end up cut off from the world on a tiny island. One of them is the culprit or the mastermind behind this genius killing, and people keep dying as in the nursery rhyme of 'Ten little soldiers'. Every person on the island has a secret and is guilty of a murder. It's the kind of murder where law is helpless. Nothing can be proven. This is why they found themselves on that island, at the mercy of a 'Jigsaw' madman who decided to take the law into his own hands with the belief that justice must be done.

This is a story where the mystery just doesn't let you put the book down. The intricacies with which the crimes are committed exactly according to the poem is dangerously dazzling. And One of the biggest question that it leaves us with is- "Who has the right to decide what justice is? And who gets to decide what the right punishment is?"
.

Brilliantly written by Agatha Christie, this is a read i would recommend anyone who wants to begin with mystery novels or is already a fan of detective stories!
.
Happy reading!
