A Prisoner of Birth

Hello Peeps,

Oh my god! Today I went to Alamanda shopping center at Putrajaya with a dear friend, and of course one of the must stop destinations there was a bookstore. And MPH bookstore it was.

As I was browsing for some good books to reasld, I bumped into this book which I read sometimes ago last year. This book, titled "A Prisoner of Birth", written by Jeffrey Archer, was loaned to me by one of my former colleagues at UCSI University: Ms Farhana Abdul Barri.

Farhana told me long ago that this book is about a sweet revenge. And indeed it was. Although I barely remember the plot; nevertheless, I certainly could not agree more with Farhana : that this book was full of emotion, thrill, hatred, vengeance and retribution.

Thank you, Farhana, for giving me the chance to reas this amazing work of The Rt. Hon. Lord Jeffrey Archer.

The only thing that I am pondering until this very moment is the true meaning of 'prisoner of birth'. Though there are many wide interpretations out there, I have yet to come to a suitable definition to settle.

I had a jolly good time reading this book and I am considering buying this book for my own collections.

To me, books are part of my soul. Without books, my life is in darkness and misery.

Read this book, folks. It is thick, yes, but it is definitely worth it!

Shall We Tell The President

People,

I have just completed reading Jeffrey Archer's novel, "Shall We Tell The President".

I started reading at around 8:30 pm and finished at about 5:30 am. There were few breaks during the reading session which have prolonged the total time taken to complete this book:-

(a) replying to messages;
(b) doing few Googling;
(c) playing with the phone.

This is an interesting novel; with gripping stories and suspense plot. Most of the time, the plot is fast-moving and it will thrill you to turn to the next page, without you realizing the movement of the time. The novel is truly addictive - it is like a milk to a baby.

I learnt many things while reading this novel:-

* old vocabularies - e.g. apocryphal
* stories about FBI, Hoover etc.
* Greek mythology - Cassius, Brutus etc.

And many more. While reading this novel, I also turned to my phone to look up and Google the meaning of certain words, as well as learning the history of FBI.

This is definitely an interesting novel that should be read by all.

In three words: this novel is (a) chilling, (b) gripping and (c) a masterpiece!
