I'm not gonna rate it because I know it has meaning which I have no idea about or the context it was written in, and I'm gonna read more about. But I didn't really enjoy reading it. The only symbol I could put is, the main character as daughter in conservative Indian family and who are just worried about marrying her off.

Okay. I really really enjoyed this. It got slow paced but NAICE! I LOVED THE PLOT.

Outliers is a fun book. That's what I thought a 'fun' book. It hasn't changed my life in any slightest way or didn't make me think anything, which is not a problem at all. But after seeing this book with so much hype and on too many 'life changing' book lists I expected too much it. This was my second book by Gladwell, and now I know exactly how he writes which I really like. But, honestly, this book made me feel opposite of feeling good about success for 2/3rd of the book, and at the end it the words didn't really help and convince me. It's just what we already know put in a different lens with good stories around it which was the fun part I guess.

Stretched and felt few bits unnecessary. But liked the descriptions of the scenarios.

I haven't read Mahabharata in detail and I had no idea what I was getting into. Two things Interesting concept. Beautiful storytelling. I would love to read more of her work, I would devour if she writes the whole Mahabharata. But there something which didn't sit with me well, the main character seemed stuck up through out the book, I have nothing against such characters but it's a story and I would've liked to see some growth, good or bad, whatever. The same old questions and self pity. Maybe that's how some people are, never change. But honestly it's the beautiful ambience the author has built made me keep going.

I don't know what I was expecting but this wasn't really bad. I have watched the show, so.

Had no expectations at all. Picked it up because of the season. Well, I really liked it. The ending was a bit let down. I mean I wish there was more holiday feels.

That was fun, even though I zoned out during a lot of science-y stuff and all I could imagine was Matt Damon as Mark which I'm totally okay with.

That was sad.
