Meanwhile....in between the Grey's....

In between, I mean, before and after the Fifty Shades trilogy, I have purchased two books, the ones that I said I would definitely buy.....  And I am really glad I made the purchase, although the thrill and anticipation dulled the actual enjoyment I derived from those books.  Sorry for the bad spoiler.

Anyway, books are books, they are worthy to buy, definitely worthy enough to read.  

1.  Wedding Night by Sophie Kinsella

I must say, I might have overrated her, assuming all her books written under her Sophie Kinsella pseudonym would be funny, entertaining, light-hearted and, well, attention-grabbing.  But sadly, no, not this one book.  She did great with the Twenties Girl, also with the more recent I've Got Your Number, but she lost that Midas touch in this one.  I wasn't tickled as much as I had expected, and frankly speaking, I was quite lost, because she told the story from two different views (using first person reference) from two different persons.  I found myself struggling to keep focus and staying with the plot.  Anyway, it was about a girl, named Lottie, who was unfortunate in love, expected her date with her current man, was actually a proposal date, prepared herself and telling other people how excited and nervous she was about the supposed upcoming proposal, which, of course, was not the case.  That, wrecked her sanity and led her to make crazy decision, to marry the ex-boyfriend, whom she hadn't met for so many years, suddenly came up to her, in the middle of her misery...and proposed.  Her protective sister, Fliss, who was going to a bitter divorce herself, trying her best to protect her sister from the bad decision, went to extra length, interfering her sister's honeymoon.  Result: Disasters....and some realizations too.  A so-so read.  Sophie Kinsella's die hard fans would still read it, anyway.

2.  Inferno by Dan Brown

Another story, intriguing, of course, revolving around Dante's famous Inferno.  Without much knowledge and exposure to Dante, I made a mental note to at least do some research on it, to better enjoy the book.  Robert Langdon as the main character, it set around one major humanity issue: Human survival in the long run.  Statistics on human population shows a very disturbing fact, human population is accelerating too fast for other supporting factors to keep up, such as food and much needed resources for human consumption and survival.  So, in order to save humanity, a person, in the story, decided to interfere, let the human be plagued, so that the increase will not happen, and it was needed to make sure human race will not cease to exist.  Very important figure in WHO had been the targeted, as the organization was seen as the culprit, in preventing the natural order of existence from happening, by creating cure for many diseases, that prolong human life expectancy, longer than necessary.  Langdon's role is to stop the person from spreading the plague...or whatever it is, by deciphering symbols, codes...and such, racing against time and those who seek to kill him, and let the nature takes control of itself.  I have yet to reach the end of the book as I want the read to last as long as I can, but soon I will.  Another masterpiece.  Salute to Dan Brown.

Have a good read, folks.
