The Book Club :: Women And The Weight Loss Tamasha

Spoiler Ahead!
Book       : Women And The Weight Loss Tamasha 

Author     : Rujutha Diwekar

My Rating  : 4.5/5

I like her writing and i like her arguments too. You'll invariably accept to what she says. Many myths busted and you actually feel that you're listening to her first hand and not reading the book.

A lot of pros - myths busted; Good arguments; Lots of sample diets(which are not restricting diets at all)

Few cons too like some diets(have complete egg including yolk) are contradicted somewhere else (only egg whites) etc

But i loved this book and will be reading again as a reference material.

The Book Club :: A Desirable Residence

Spoiler Ahead!
Book       : A Desirable Residence

Author     : Sophie Kinsella writing as Madeleine Wickham

My Rating  : 2.5/5

Now, I know that just the names of the authors have changed but when you'll read the Madeleine Wickham books, you'll realize that it’s not same as that of Sohie - even the writer's signature funny tones are missing

The novel was moderate; gripping and losing the grip at times. A fair one time read i say.

The Book Club :: The Present

Spoiler Ahead!
Book         :    The Present

Author       :    Spencer Johnson

My Rating    :    2/5

A book which tells you:

To be in present;

When you want to be happier and more effective

Focus on What is right now

Respond to what is important today

Learn from the Past

When you want to make the present better than the past

Look at what happened in the past

Learn something Valuable from it

Do things differently Today

Help create the future

When you want to make the future better than the present

Imagine what a wonderful future would look like

make a realistic plan

Do something today to help it happen

Realize your purpose;

Explore ways to make your work and life more meaningful

That's the extract from the book and it is good but i missed on how to do all these?

If there could be some exercises/activities that one can do to achieve these - i would have loved it!

The Book Club :: Finding Audrey

Spoiler Ahead!
Book        :     Finding Audrey
Author      :     Sophie Kinsella
My Rating   :     3/5

i love the author's writings and i always connect very easily with the lead of the story coz they are like me(generally).

However, here, that was not the case. The story board is good but not as gripping as her other novels. Also, in the end, i didn’t get what actually happened with Audrey. One can guess here but still...it was missing
