The Last Thing He Told Me

Originally Published: 04, May 2021

Genres: Adult, College Fiction, Women's, Detective, Fiction, Mothers & Children, Suspense, Family Life

Once more a book that is going to divide the readers on the quality, story, and all the aspects of this book. For some, it is going to be great and for some, it is just a waste of time. I am on the side of people who are going to like this book. The story has twists and what you are reading at the start is going to change into something else. It was like the writer started a story and then by the end, it was changed into another story. The problem with writing a review of this kind of book is very hard if the reviewer can’t share any part of the story to keep it spoiler-free.

Few things that I wanted to see was a bit of backstory between the husband and wife and her reasons for doing what she did for so long and one thing that I never like is the part or information from a story that is purposefully hidden from the reader and I hate that kind of writing. So get ready to be disappointed or mad if you don’t like this trick of keeping stuff hidden from the reader. I personally don’t like it but in some cases it can be okay if that is what a good story demands. Let me know in the comments what you think of this kind of trick from this book.

The twists in this book are worth reading and are surely going to make an impact on most of the females in my opinion. But still, this book is a very fast read and very simple in many ways. Think of the story as a video game and the setting is on very easy so the player can beat all odds and win in one turn. That is how simple this is for the characters in this book. I think that is enough that I can tell without spoiling this book for you.


From The Back Cover:
“#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

A HIGHLY ANTICIPATED, BEST BOOK OF SUMMER SELECTED BY * VOGUE * USA TODAY * ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY * CNN * TOWN & COUNTRY * PARADE * BUSTLE * AND MORE!

A “gripping” (Entertainment Weekly) mystery about a woman who thinks she’s found the love of her life—until he disappears.

Before Owen Michaels disappears, he smuggles a note to his beloved wife of one year: Protect her. Despite her confusion and fear, Hannah Hall knows exactly to whom the note refers—Owen’s sixteen-year-old daughter, Bailey. Bailey, who lost her mother tragically as a child. Bailey, who wants absolutely nothing to do with her new stepmother.

As Hannah’s increasingly desperate calls to Owen go unanswered, as the FBI arrests Owen’s boss, as a US marshal and federal agents arrive at her Sausalito home unannounced, Hannah quickly realizes her husband isn’t who he said he was. And that Bailey just may hold the key to figuring out Owen’s true identity—and why he really disappeared.

Hannah and Bailey set out to discover the truth. But as they start putting together the pieces of Owen’s past, they soon realize they’re also building a new future—one neither of them could have anticipated.

With its breakneck pacing, dizzying plot twists, and evocative family drama, The Last Thing He Told Me is a riveting mystery, certain to shock you with its final, heartbreaking turn.”

The rating for this book was not easy to give, because I found this a very simple read, and many people may not feel satisfied by it, I wanted to give more points but that will be cheating with my readers.


Rating: 75/100
Recommended: 75/100 Not a yes but okay.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

Originally Published: 29, June 2021
Author: Quentin Tarantino
Genres: TV & Movie Tie-In, Fiction, action, adventure, Movie Industry

You surely watched the movie “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.” Now read the book and find out all the missing stuff and thoughts of characters that you can never see on a screen.

If you are a Tarantino fan, then for you this book is already recommended and points are a hundred out of a hundred. But For others… you can continue reading the review.

The book is enjoyable; with various parallel (and eventually intersecting) tales that lead to what I can only imagine is the start of the film. And, if the reader has some historical knowledge, and watched the movie already, then they will know what happens following The Last Chapter.

Tarantino effortlessly mixes history and fiction, leaving you wondering, about Bruce Lee and military and many other things, and then you’ll ask yourself about reality and fiction. Was that real in the movie or just the imagination of Tarantino?

The reader gets insider terminology and gets behind-the-scenes access to locations, people, and historical events that are only known to a very few elite Hollywood insiders. It's probably for the best that the majority of the characters in the book are deceased. They'd probably have something to say about how they're portrayed. Lots of it made me angry, but I calmed myself by saying it is just a book and a movie so just enjoy the comedy and book and in the case of the movie, the acting.

This review can go on and on but better you read the book and watch the movie if until now you didn’t. In summary, it’s about how Hollywood and the industry use a person and spits him/her out and the fakeness and other stories that are related to the writer and nod to his favorite movies, personalities, and other stuff from his life like his father. Still a good read and an enjoyable story and situation.


From The Back Cover:
“Quentin Tarantino’s long-awaited first work of fiction — at once hilarious, delicious, and brutal — is the always surprising, sometimes shocking new novel based on his Academy Award- winning film.

RICK DALTON – Once he had his own TV series, but now Rick’s a washed-up villain-of-the week drowning his sorrows in whiskey sours. Will a phone call from Rome save his fate or seal it?

CLIFF BOOTH – Rick’s stunt double, and the most infamous man on any movie set because he’s the only one there who might have gotten away with murder. . . .

SHARON TATE – She left Texas to chase a movie-star dream, and found it. Sharon’s salad days are now spent on Cielo Drive, high in the Hollywood Hills.

CHARLES MANSON – The ex-con’s got a bunch of zonked-out hippies thinking he’s their spiritual leader, but he’d trade it all to be a rock ‘n’ roll star.

HOLLYWOOD 1969 – YOU SHOULDA BEEN THERE”


I was going to give a hundred points but for what they tried to do with a real-life legend Bruce Lee, I am not going to give full points but still, it’s a hundred percent recommended read. Just don’t get angry if you are a fan of the great legend Bruce Lee and think of it as an attempt at getting more people talking about the movie and watch it; in simple words a cheap trick for publicity.


Rating: 90/100
Recommended: 100/100 YES.

The Da Vinci Code

Originally Published: 2003
Author: Dan Brown
Book 2 of 5: Robert Langdon Series
Genres: Religious Mysteries, Religious Historical Fiction, Action, Thriller, Adventure, Mystery, Suspense, Detective, Jesus

Usually, I never talk about the books' story or use characters’ names in my reviews but this book needs all that in the review and I feel easy while writing this way for the first time and may do it in the future also with other books if needed. One more reason is that it is already a best seller and almost every book reader knows about this book so I can add a bit of info about what is happening in the book without spoiling it for any new reader.

Mr. Dan Brown's Angels & Demons, published in 2000, was the first to include the character Robert Langdon but I found it of no concern because that is the only thing connecting all the books in this series and you can actually read them all as solo stories in my opinion but I think it is a clever way of connecting these books because when Robert Langdon comes on the page, you already know his background and his skills and that is helpful if you read other parts of this series.

The Da Vinci Code follows symbologist Robert Langdon and cryptologist Sophie Neveu. Following a murder in the Louvre Museum in Paris as they become involved in a dispute between the Priory of Sion and Opus Dei over the possibility of Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene having a child together.

The main background storyline element of the novel is that the Merovingian kings of France were descended from the bloodline of Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene, based on themes from Clive Prince's The Templar Revelation (1997) and Margaret Starbird's novels.

The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail (1982) is also mentioned in the novel, though Dan Brown has said that it was not used as research material. And it doesn’t matter if you read this book just as a book of fiction and enjoy the idea and puzzle-solving with Robert Langdon.

The Da Vinci Code sparked widespread curiosity about the Holy Grail legend and Mary Magdalene's significance in Christianity's history. Many Christian denominations have criticized the book as an attack on the Catholic Church, and it has been resoundingly critiqued for historical and scientific flaws. Despite this, the novel became a worldwide bestseller and being translated into 44 languages by the time of writing this review (30/07/2021.)

Later, illustrated version of the book was published also to show the puzzles and other useful items.

This book was adapted with the same name as the book with actor Tom Hanks in the lead role as Robert Langdon.

For me the best thing was to play the game related to this book and movie, I loved solving puzzles in the game and now I am planning to play the game again.

A fast-paced book but I think it is better to read it in a silent place to enjoy it so no one can disturb you while reading.

I like the writing style of Mr. Dan Brown and the way he brings in twists after twists on every page and combines nonstop action is what many people want to read and once you read the books by him you really start to see the world differently.

From The Back Cover:
“MORE THAN 80 MILLION COPIES SOLD

Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s 'The Great American Read'

While in Paris, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is awakened by a phone call in the dead of the night. The elderly curator of the Louvre has been murdered inside the museum, his body covered in baffling symbols. As Langdon and gifted French cryptologist Sophie Neveu sort through the bizarre riddles, they are stunned to discover a trail of clues hidden in the works of Leonardo da Vinci—clues visible for all to see and yet ingeniously disguised by the painter.

Even more startling, the late curator was involved in the Priory of Sion—a secret society whose members included Sir Isaac Newton, Victor Hugo, and Da Vinci—and he guarded a breathtaking historical secret. Unless Langdon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine puzzle—while avoiding the faceless adversary who shadows their every move—the explosive, ancient truth will be lost forever."
