The Review:

This novel will break your heart, leave you gasping for air, and make you cry. An incredible narrative that may take its time to hit you, but once it does, it hits you hard. The title of this book has a significant importance in the plot, and it is also a significant date for the individuals you will fall in love with.

The way this novel strikes you over and over again by tearing your heart out and then punching you in the face is painful, yet you keep reading with tears in your eyes to find out what happens next and hope for happiness for the characters who are making you weep like this. While reading this story, I felt a pang in my heart, yet I still enjoyed it. Yes, you may believe the stars, high scores, and reviews are bogus at the beginning of this work, but once you get to the part where it starts to strike you, that's when it starts to receive all those five stars and hundred points.

Only a few novels and stories can provide you with all of your feelings and emotions, but this one did. It's packed with angst, love, heartbreak, twists, and turns, and so much more. I believe that readers who enjoy tearjerkers will enjoy this, but it is also for everyone, and any reader may read it just for the pleasure of reading a wonderful narrative and having a nice time, albeit with a lot of tears and pain. Here I want to recommend one more tearjerker called "The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini.

It is written from two points of view, which makes it even more lovely, and I enjoyed it even more since it would not be as epic if it were simply one person's point of view.

I can't say anything else since anything else I say would inevitably be a spoiler, and I don't want to ruin anything for anyone, so I'll just stop. But there's one more thing I have to say, and it's what I usually say when readers dislike the book and the author because of characters they don't like. They must grasp that if all of the characters are flawless, the storyline gets monotonous and dies before it can live, so simply embrace the defects and how these imperfections create a tale and twists and turns that make you want to read more and more, which is what is known as a page-turner.

Final Thoughts:

One of those novels that you want to forget and revisit only to feel all the emotions it elicited. Colleen Hoover understands how to sucker punch the reader, then she grabs your heart and smashes it into pieces, just to later glue it back together. Even though I am not interested in the genres she writes about, I have read practically all of her works, which is a testimonial to her excellent writing abilities.

This novel made me laugh, weep, worry, and feel all that the characters were feeling. It genuinely makes the reader feel like they are a part of the tale. You feel as if you are in the narrative with the characters, which is just another testament to the author's exceptional writing ability. Be ready to cry a lot. I had no notion that some people enjoy tearjerkers and seek out literature that will make them weep. I realized why people are hunting for these books after reading a couple of them. I believe that these books should be read by everyone since they help to purify the spirit. Please leave a remark or write me to discuss this topic and let me know if I'm correct.

The Kite Runner Summary

The Review:

An emotional and fascinating read with the savagery that is recounted honestly by the author and depicts life's truth it is sad, beautiful, and honest. Ultimately, it makes the reader want to be a better person, but I know some people who will not like it because they do not want this type of reality to be shared with the next generation and the misinformed people.

This is not a story for the faint-hearted. It's violent at points, and the language and subject matter are such that parents should think twice about letting their younger children to read it. However, there are crucial lessons to be gained by older and more mature teenagers. It's also refreshing to hear an honest and intellectual Middle Eastern take on the globe as a born and raised American or any other country that has no idea what is happening in these countries. I'm not sure whether it's true to say I loved reading this book, but it did provide me with a valuable learning experience.

This work will undoubtedly make many readers weep, and it is quite gloomy in many aspects. However, there are also times that will make you smile and feel glad, but ultimately, it is the true-life tale of many boys in these nations, and it is just terrible and painful to read about it.

While reading this book, you get the peculiar feeling that something is breaking inside you, yet you still feel like you're a part of something magnificent since you can sense other readers joining in and realizing humanity's follies. The plot revolves around the lives of two young boys growing up in Kabul, as portrayed through the eyes of one of them. One of them is a wealthy man's son; he is well-educated, sophisticated, and, most importantly, a member of the ruling elite. The second youngster is the domestic servant's son, and he is uneducated, more physically muscular, and unfortunately, a member of a lower-class sect that is not respected.

They are pals, but one of them has two roles: he is both a buddy and a servant, which makes for an odd reality for him. How this is conveyed is really amazing writing, and it's so subtly designed to catch emotions and our feelings of unfairness.

It is about a person seeking redemption and making atonement. The narrative is so well-paced and descriptive that it manages to convey both the emotional horrors and anxiety of the alien society and its realities.

Although some readers may not understand the difference between a cast and religious sects, this novel includes a religious sect issue in the primary plot. People are still treated differently based on their religion, sect, caste, and skin color. I'm supposed to write a review for these books, but I feel compelled to state that the next generation has to break away from the dark ages and realize that we are all the same humanity and that faiths, castes, sects, and colors were made to separate us rather than unite us.

Final Thoughts:

This novel is heartbreakingly gorgeous, tragically heartbreaking, and painfully tear-jerking. On so many levels, this book is fantastic — history, religion, social culture, character interaction, and finally, it deals with human emotions like friendship, shame, selflessness, and selfishness.

This is a must-read for everyone, and even if some parts are not appropriate for young readers, I believe it is appropriate to let them read it so they can understand the reality of life and how fortunate they are to have everything while other children struggle and suffer simply because of religion, sect, race, caste, nationality or color that was not even chosen by them and they were just born into it and that is their only fault.

Synopsis:

“The #1 New York Times bestselling novel beloved by millions of readers the world over.

“A vivid and engaging story that reminds us how long his people [of Afghanistan] have been struggling to triumph over the forces of violence—forces that continue to threaten them even today." –New York Times Book Review

The unforgettable, heartbreaking story of the unlikely friendship between a wealthy boy and the son of his father’s servant, caught in the tragic sweep of history, The Kite Runner transports readers to Afghanistan at a tense and crucial moment of change and destruction. A powerful story of friendship, it is also about the power of reading, the price of betrayal, and the possibility of redemption; and an exploration of the power of fathers over sons—their love, their sacrifices, their lies.

Since its publication in 2003 Kite Runner has become a beloved, one-of-a-kind classic of contemporary literature, touching millions of readers, and launching the career of one of America's most treasured writers.”

The Alchemist Summary

The Review:

The Alchemist is a treasure of life lessons. This book contains and references to lessons that appear to be a comment on ethics and metaphysics, history and anthropology, post-colonialist critique, and folk tale all at once. Biblical parallels abound, alongside Islamic lectures on the nature of God, and institutions and mysticism are equally likely to be invoked and revoked. There's always the impression that something is hovering beneath the surface while you read, but the moment you attempt to capture it or express it in a review, it appears to vanish and I was never completely satisfied with what it is. I felt I know this story and what was happening but it was just an illusion and this book is an original work of art that comes to life through the words that are passing through the reader’s mind.

I had no idea this book would be so good. But at first, I thought it was just another book hyped by people who wanted to be part of the popular group, but I'm glad I was wrong and decided to read it. I never imagined a book could have such an impact on me. It's a simple story, but it's packed with lessons if you look for them, and it's short enough to read in one sitting. Only a few books have had such an impact on me, and one of them is "The Book of Flying," which I also highly recommend.

I read this book a long time ago and recently had the opportunity to listen to the audio version, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I also recommend the audio version to fans because I am confident you will enjoy it as well.

Some people dislike this book because they never understood it and the simple words that are actually very deep to the point where these people were never able to reach the depth. So, disregard the complaints and a few low marks and read or listen to the book, and be amazed at its simplicity, which can be as deep as you want it to be. But as you go deeper, your eyes widen and you begin to see the true messages that this novel has to offer.

This book has a lot of valuable lessons to offer. It ultimately boils down to pursuing your ambitions and taking calculated risks in the process. When you decide to follow your aspirations, the entire world conspires in your favor, which the author refers to as "beginners luck," which we have all experienced at some time in our lives. He also talks about a period in our road toward fulfilling our aspirations when everything goes horribly wrong and everything works against us, nearly forcing us to forsake everything and return to what was once so intimately acquainted.

Final Thoughts:

This is one of those stories that you don't want to come to an end. A journey of self-awareness and the discovery of hidden strength and potential that everyone possesses but not everyone can recognize. I discovered a great coming-of-age story and a man's constant struggle to find the hidden treasure that was always his from the beginning.

A must-read for everyone, just to understand what it's all about, and it may help you discover your own self, which has been hiding inside you since the beginning.

Synopsis:

“Paulo Coelho's enchanting novel has inspired a devoted following around the world. This story, dazzling in its simplicity and wisdom, is about an Andalusian shepherd boy named Santiago who travels from his homeland in Spain to the Egyptian desert in search of treasure buried in the Pyramids. Along the way, he meets a Gypsy woman, a man who calls himself king, and an Alchemist, all of whom point Santiago in the direction of his quest. No one knows what the treasure is, or if Santiago will be able to surmount the obstacles along the way but what starts out as a journey to find worldly goods turns into a meditation on the treasures found within. Lush, evocative, and deeply humane, the story of Santiago is art eternal testament to the transforming power of our dreams and the importance of listening to our hearts.”
