The Love Monster | Book Review

The Love Monster
Author: Nandha Kriskar

 

The Love Monster is a collection of reflections and poems about love. Most of the poems revolve 
around love that have heart break and have affected an individual in a very bad manner. The book is divided into 3 parts – Part 1: Dawn, Part 2: Dusk and Part 3: Dark.
The first 2 parts of the book are mostly about what a person feels when he/she goes through a heart break or rather how love has affected them. And how their perception about love has changed totally. The author has accurately penned down every emotion that a person has went through in a simple and lucid language. I can surely say that the author has observed people nearly and have written the book in such a manner that the readers will actually relate them to their real life or to what they might have experienced or will experience in life.
There are poems which range from a few lines, single lines to a whole page. But all of them have such meaning to them that one would surely be pondering on each of them. There are people who come in our life and assume what they think of us without knowing what we actually are and then they hope that we change to what they want us to be. And when we don’t they just leave us heartbroken without even thinking twice.
Usually reading poems can be a very tedious work for some people but I would surely recommend this to all those who want to start reading poems.
I have actually fallen in love with all these poems and can’t wait to read more from the author.

My Rating: 5/5

Dancers in the Dark Author: Ejaz Ahamed Pages: 298               After reading this book, the very first thing that came to my mind was, ‘Is there humanity?’ If yes what is humanity? This was a very emotional read for me. The story revolves around Kalki, her brother Karthi, and Shreyas whom we will meet later in the story. Karthi is a seven-year-old who is suffering from a skin condition that makes her skin dark compared to other dark people. People are constantly making fun of her calling her a ‘darkie’ and some even call her ‘ugly’. This has affected the poor girl to a very great extent to the point that instead of playing and having fun she is constantly thinking about how she can turn her skin fair. Her brother Karthi, is always there by her side trying to save her; and protect her from these kinds of people. However, one guilt is still constantly peeking its head out from time to time for Karthi. Karthi was once le...
