The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides

                                                           Ratings: 3/5 (on Goodreads)

The Silent Patient is a thriller based on a woman named Alicia Berenson. She shoots the love of her life, Gabriel Berenson, five times and then she never speaks again. Theo Faber, a psychotherapist, is really keen on treating her and he believes that he can make Alicia talk, who haven't talked for 6 years.

About the writing style, I didn't really like it as the writing consisted of slangs, and I'm not found of such writing. But still I enjoyed the book, it was quite a page turner. 

I'm having mixed feelings towards this book, as the book had an abrupt and open ending, which I didn't like. Also I couldn't quite connect with the characters.

I'm not saying that it's a bad book, I really enjoyed it, and I'll recommend it as well.

Percy Jackson and the Lightening Thief by Rick Riordan

  Review: 3/5 Ok so I read this book. And I'm kind of having mixed feelings. 12-year old Percy Jackson was having a perfectly normal school life, well not exactly normal. But his life rapidly changes after he accidently vaporizes his maths teacher. He realizes that the things that he used to consider as myths were true. And now the biggest truth of his life was that, that he was a demigod (half human and half god), just not that, he is the son of Poseidon, the sea god. And suddenly he is accused of stealing Zeus' lightening bolt. And now he have to prove himself not guilty and retrieve the lightening bolt from the real thief. I can't disagree with this, that it was a page turner. Some parts were really gripping but overall I was not quite satisfied as in many parts I felt it was too boring. But I enjoyed it as well. But still, I may recommend people to read it. They might enjoy it more than me.

The Mystery of Alice by Lee Bacon

Stars : 5/5 This book is about a 13-year-old girl named Emily Poe, who gets a one time opportunity to attend the elite Audyn School. But for that she has to pass a 'not so normal' scholarship test. Only she and another girl named Alice passes the scholarship exam. Soon she becomes close to Alice, but there are lot of mysteries about Alice that she still doesn't know about. But suddenly like a wave, everything comes to light and everything is swept away from her. This a tween book, though people from any age group can read it. It's a feel good book. The sound effects that the audiobook had was just amazing. The only thing that bothered me was the age of the characters, all of them were thirteen, and it's really hard to believe that thirteen year old kids could do this. Otherwise, I thoroughly enjoyed the book.
