Pants on Fire - Meg Cabot

Author: Meg Cabot
Published Date: May 1st, 2007
Details: 272 pages, hardcover
Review: When I started this book, I had no doubt it would be a cool read. All books I've read by Meg have been awesome. What I didn't understand, though, was the title. Pants on Fire? Weird name. As I started reading the story, I found that it was taken from 'liar, liar, pants on fire' - one of my favorite saying! It's really funny how Katie always ends up lying! It sounded so... teenage-ish! Just like I used to do. The story is also heart-touching when she's with Tommy. Fighting against her desire to be with him just so she can stay famous was a real struggle.. but at the end, she chose what was right. This is a must read!

I'd say that youngsters shouldn't try out this book... it has alot of intimate stuff. But I found the book fun, funny and nice to read.

Can you keep a Secret? - Sophie Kinsella

Author: Sophie Kinsella

Publisher: Black Swan

Publication Date: 2003

Details: 355 pages

Review: This book is the most hilarious thing I've ever read. Its like a laughing bag. And the jokes are non-stop. Even in the last chapters, when things were pretty tense, the jokes didn't stop. It's amazing how Sophie Kinsella can make you laugh in even the most serious situations of the story. It was like, I was biting my nails a minute and the other I was laughing like a mad man. This book should come with a warning tag 'Beware this can make you laugh to death, read at your own risk'. :D

Apart from all the fun stuff, it also conveys a very important message--to be honest with your loved one's. This is all life is about. Its about love, which comes from trust. And trust builds up by being honest. So the story is very meaningful. And teaches you a very important lesson. Now its up to you if you are willing to learn it or not. =P

So I would say that even if you are not into chick lit/comedy stuff, doesn't matter, its worth a try.

Remember me? - Sophie Kinsella

Author: Sophie Kinsella

Publisher: Black Swan

Publication Date: 2008

Details: Paperback, 444 pages

Review: The plot line of Remember me? is not original, you can relate it to movies like '13 goes 30'. And this is not the best of Sophie Kinsella, but still a no.1 bestseller - interesting and funny. I haven't read her previous novels, but those who have read them have a OK opinion about this one, as compared to her other novels. So don't have any high expectations its just a good read.
