This beguiling book in spite of being surprisingly short, speaks volumes about Objectivism, the philosophy of Ayn Rand. Written long before her more famous novels, The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged, this novella is for readers who like to invest only a little time and yet expect to gain a proper perspective on her philosophy.

Ironical enough that I read this book on 2nd October, Mahatma’s birthday. To speak about the book I will say it tells the truth. All this while, the most fascinating feature of Chetan Bhagat’s books has been their titles.

This book by Liz Greene is indeed a splendid blend of astrology and psychology. Possession of prior knowledge of these disciplines, especially astrology would incontrovertibly escalate the ease of voyaging through this book while its absence is in no way an abatement of the insight this book bestows upon the reader.

To read Murakami is an experience, one of the types which circulate over our known fears and anguish, especially those which keep us awake at night. However it paves way far from the conventional thereby reaching the inner recesses of our heart, liberating us form the agony that reigned over it.
