		<description><![CDATA[Language: English Format: Paperback Pages: 513 ISBN: 7099300799 Price: 460 INR “Hiaasen’s books are so much fun, it’s a wonder they are still legal.” &#8211; Newsday. The joy of reading a book years after you first come across it knows no bounds. You are filled with joy as you meet those characters again, you laugh your way through those incidents and then bid a teary goodbye as you finish the novel and keep it back in its rightful place. That is exactly what happened with me with regard to this devilishly funny caper of a novel. Carl Hiaasen’s &#8216;Sick Puppy&#8216; deals with issues concerning the environment and the effects some greedy humans are having on it, but not in a way that makes you yawn and nod off to sleep. Instead, it leaves you asking for more at the end. The cast of characters created by the author in this novel seem so ordinary and some of them are, in a way, so everyday-evil that we cannot help but relate to them. Having seen such corrupt politicians and officials who’d go to any lengths for personal gain. The novel is based within the lush politicos of Florida and involves an [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Language: English Format: Paperback ISBN: 8125904808 Number of Pages: 629 Price: INR 175 For anyone who wants to a peep into the history of India, with all its conspiracies and politics, ‘Freedom at Midnight’ is the first book I would recommend. Written by the dynamic duo authors of ‘Is Paris Burning?’, Lapierre and Collins give the history of India a new look. It starts six months before India and Pakistan gained independence from the Raj and six after the same. So, it basically starts from the appointment of Mountbatten as the last Viceroy of India and ends with the Mahatma’s assassination. It characterizes the problems of the Maharajas and their eccentricities extremely well. The problem of the princely states, mainly Kashmir is written in great detail. The main portion of the book is of course, the partition and how India and Pakistan were created from the erstwhile British Empire. And if partitions are mentioned, how can one forget the horrendous riots? The book gives a full, often gruesome account of the Punjab riots, the religious fanaticism and tells us how Gandhi single-handedly ensured peace in Bengal. Written akin to investigative journalists, the duo has undertaken vast amounts of research. And [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Format: Paperback ISBN: 9780765357694 Pages: 344 Price: INR 459 ‘What if you could go anywhere in the world, in the blink of an eye? Where would you go? What would you do?’ A catchy title, Jumper is a very impressive debut novel by Steven Gould. A science fiction author with eight previous works, Jumper was his most successful one. Written in 1992, it was adapted as a movie by the same name and became a blockbuster in 2008. The book too was re-released in 2008 to coincide with the film’s release. It tells the story of a 17-year old boy who finds himself with the ability to teleport himself or ‘jump’ wherever and whenever he wants. Of course, with great power comes great responsibility and the protagonist David Rice finds himself in trouble soon enough. It takes him everything to find the line between his personal life and a jumper’s life. Since the novel is written in first person, there is hardly any trouble to place ourselves in the shoes of the protagonist. This makes it all the more fun to read. We read on as David tries to test out his powers to the maximum with exciting results. The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Format: Paperback No. of Pages: 448 ISBN: 9781444716467 Price: INR 375 The thought of rebooting a classic like James Bond seems a task daunting and quite scary, but Jeffery Deaver manages to pull it off with much ease and style. He modernizes Bond well and coupled with Daniel Craig’s contemporary “Blond Bond”, little is left to imagination. ‘Carte Blanche’  is a treat for all readers, fans of the 007 series or not. The book re-invents Bond as an Afghanistan War veteran instead of the Cold War spy that Fleming made him to be. Set in mid-2011, the story spans a week. Bond gets a tip that thousands are going to die. Following up on it, he is led to an economic waste management company, Green Way, whose owner, Severan Hydt has a vulgar idea of fun. Guided by the cold Niall Dunne, the two form Bond’s nemesis being as atypical Bond villains as possible. And hence, follows the tale of good vs. evil, in this case, Britain vs. the World or more eloquently put, James Bond fighting the world. To stop this mission, Bond is given a carte blanche, to do whatever it takes to eliminate the threat.  This mission takes [...]]]></description>
