Do give it a try and let me know if you enjoyed reading it.

This is a wonderful review. I never who the giants were. Nice to read about the sacrifice they were making. I can confidently pick this book and read it knowing that it is fascinating now.

I enjoyed reading your review. I like that the author writes about things he'll familiar with and he did an excellent job.

I have started to read this book and so far agree with you about the breezy writing style. I have opened this review a few times, but did not dare read it lest it should reveal something I would not want to know beforehand. But I am glad that I read it, as it did not contain any spoiler rather increased my anticipation. Thanks for the review, Debjani!

Post by Georgia Lyonhyde »

You've summed the book up superbly. I like your interpretation of the cover, I didn't give it a second thought.

I greatly support this review. I enjoyed reading the book. It's definitely the best I've read this year despite it being a debut novel. The laid back style makes it easy to read and the characters are great, even the ones you loathe.
You know you’ve read a good book when you turn the last page and feel a little as if you have lost a friend.

Thanks for your appreciation and the comment. I was at my wit's end on how to write the summary of this book without revealing anything. It seems I have passed the test. :)
