"The Vegetarian" left me in between clarity and confusion that I can’t quite put into words. It's one of those books that makes you question everything—whether you like it or not—and I still find myself uncertain about how I truly feel. But there's something undeniably impactful about it, something that lingers in your mind long after you finish.

At its core, this is the story of Yeong-hye, a woman who decides to give up meat after experiencing a disturbing dream basically want to became a vegetarian. But it's not just about her dietary choice; it spirals into a deeper exploration of identity, family, and personal control. The story is split into three parts, each narrated from the perspective of a different person in her life: her husband, her brother-in-law, and her sister.

The first part, from her husband's point of view, sets the stage. He’s bewildered and disturbed by her sudden decision, and his frustration feels palpable. But it’s the second part, from her brother-in-law’s perspective, that really threw me off. This man, in a way, represents the kind of psychological discomfort that the book seems to instill in its readers. His obsession with Yeong-hye only added to my anxiety, making me feel trapped in his unsettling thoughts. And then, in the third part, we see Yeong-hye from her sister's viewpoint, which brings a touch of clarity, but also more questions.

I can't explain why the book made me feel this way. I’m not sure if I can say I “liked” it, but I can say it made me think—about body autonomy, about how our actions ripple out into the lives of others, and about the complexity of human relationships. It's haunting and uncomfortable, but perhaps that’s exactly the point. The rawness and unpredictability of Yeong-hye's journey left me with a sense of unease I can’t shake, and honestly, I’m not sure if that’s something I appreciate or something I’m still processing.

In the end, this book is not for everyone. It's the kind of read that left meunsettled and questioning what I've just read. I enjoyed it, I can’t deny it made me feel something—though I’m still not sure exactly what that something is.

"Free Food For Millionaires" is engaging and exceptionally well-written story by Min Jin Lee. The story is medium paced and written in third person. Every character is portrayed with depth. The main protagonist of the story is Casey Han. It's about the difficulties she faces as she moves from her traditional Korean upbringing to a more contemporary American lifestyle, as well as the complexities of cultural divides, familial pressure, personal identity, and class problems. Reading this book was a lot of fun, so I want to read other books written by Min Jin Lee as well.

The story moves ahead after the incident of The Miserable Mill, when Baudelaire managed to escape Count Olaf, but once more they were unable to apprehend him to imprison him.
Read and find out who ended up becoming danger of Baudelaire children in Academy.
All the Five books I've read thus far, Book 5 is arguably my favourite.
Children should absolutely read this book.

While reading it, I was like, ‘Oh, why didn't I choose it before? It was crazy.' Are you happy in your life?

I was too late for choosing it from my TBR pile. Well, the story starts with a twist in the very first chapter of the book when Jason gets kidnapped by someone at gunpoint, all naked, and wakes up somewhere where everyone thinks they know him but they don't. What can be more shocking for a person whose whole life changed in just a few hours, whose home is not his home anymore, whose wife and son are not his anymore? His whole existence is different from what he has been living all these years.”

“Blake Crouch has written the story in a way that you will not lose your grip on it till the very end; you will enjoy the story. Quantum physics—I don't understand physics at all, but he's written that in a way that you are not going to lose track of the story but to some extent, I also felt it could be a little shorter but yeah I liked the whole story

I read it in 12th standard my God I read it day before my literature exam. It was damn interesting that's how I finished it.
