A slapstick comedy from the master of legal thrillers ! What a surprise ! The novella is a light, fun read. It reminds one of A Christmas Carol and all those Christmas and Santa Claus movies with lots of snow n lights.
If you are a hardcore Grisham fan, skip reading this book. You won't miss a thing except a few LOL moments.
101 simple solutions to your most complex problems ? Yes , solutions are easy to read , follow them would be a big problem. Robin Sharma cajoles and coaxes the reader to write a journal , join the 5o'clock club , create a love account and so on. One suggestion poked my imagination - make a list of people you wish to live next door . Ahem..... My list looks too outrageous and scandalous to publish here. Shocked....ahehehe.
By the way, who will cry when you die? Read this book, solve those 101 problems and die happily. Let the whole world mourn and cry.....
Awwsome ! An absolute funny n freaky n scary book for gals. And a therapeutic 'howl out loud' for middle aged girls.
Seriously.
Sorry for the delay. We were waiting for our relatives to come down from Bengaluru and Bahrain. So your resurrection was delayed one week. Forgive us.

The 21st anniversary vintage edition of Memoirs of a Geisha has this different cover design - an apt quote from the author, Arthur Golden:-
Hear, hear !
The book takes one to a totally different era - of tea parlors, geishas , kimonas n fascinating Japanese culture n traditions. It tells the making of a geisha, the female companion, a maitre d' art. No pain, no gain. Thus the story is naturally heart rending and touching but not spell bounding. All the same, it cocoons a beautiful love story too.
No, I haven't seen the movie starring 'The crouching tiger, hidden dragon' Zhang Ziyi and 'The silver hawk' Michelle Yeoh. Waiting.....
