Her writing has been chosen by novel lovers from many decades. She was called as queen of crime, for writing such genius suspense novels. One of the most renowned novels of her is The A.B.C murders.
Absolute power can propel anyone out of his wits and drive him corrupt and perilous. This is the subject of George Orwell’s short novel, which lucidly and vividly delineates the reason of failure of Communism. Animal Farm , an allegorical novel, is a sarcastic and a pungent satire on totalitarianism, very particularly of Stalin era.
He wrote for more years than what we live. And, all he did during those years was to write recipes that would twist your intestines more, induce pain in your jaws and would grant you at least a year more to live. And hence, die in a more convenient age! Take a bow, Sir Pelham ‘rummy’ Grenville ‘extremely funny’ Wodehouse.
The last time I actually got thrilled by a thriller was when I read Sherlock Holmes. While it’s quite blasphemous to compare Sir Arthur Conan Doyle with Lee Child, this book, my first of Jack Reacher series, even fails to reach the levels of those by John Grisham, Jeffry Archer and Sydney Sheldon.
