A book I have been wanting to read for many years, I am glad I read it. It turned out to be very intriguing. The way the story is projected, the picture makes Dorian an evil person although he stays forever young and the picture grows old and all the misdeeds of Dorian is reflected on the picture. It is an allegory, depicting the fact that an evil person’s face portrays the evil committed throughout their life, as they age. People must age no matter what. there is no eternal youth.
Lord Henry Wotton is a very charming character in the book. He is depicted as a person who is very experienced and well read. The knowledge that he imparts to Dorian is noteworthy.

It is very touching story about a alcoholic mom and her children. Of the children Shuggie is the youngest one and suffers the most. He takes care of his mom as much as he can till the end.
It's written beautifully.
Children suffer a lot when the mom is an alcohol addict.
Shuggie is portrayed as a sweet obedient child.

It was a difficult read. Five stories stop on a cliffhanger. Only the sixth one is complete and then the five stories are narrated in the reverse order. Its difficult to get adjusted to the stories as every story has a different style. It moves from past to future
1. Pacific journal of Adam Ewing
2. Letters from Zedelghem

The 6th story being a post apocalyptic story
David Mitchell is a Brilliant writer. Story telling on this level is unimaginable. Then weaving the story into the next one is ingenious!

An easy read, fluidly written but the topic is disturbing!

It sounds great but its not easy to follow, though one should I suppose!

It has a rather unexpected ending.
Found all the three lovers of Molly to be very selfish
Great plot. Beautifully written!

The book is so captivating that one actually feels what the people went through during the Russian revolution.
The commoners bear the brunt of any war or a revolution. In the process they lose not only their jobs and homes but also their loved ones. I felt very bad for the women as they had to look after their families in the absence of their husbands and having no source of income. All struggle: Tonia, Lara and Marina all the three wives(? )of Doctor Zhivago . I couldn't accept the fact the Doctor Zhivago had 3 wives, although I know that it is that era!
Doctor Zhivago is a multi talented doctor, who is also a good  writer. His poems are beautiful.
I love the ending where the true identity of Tania is guessed.
The book is an easy read and I enjoyed reading the philosophical discussions and the discussions relating to the on going Russian revolution!
