The Midnight Thinker

My first book reading by world-famous thriller author Dan Brown. And guess what, it's a breathtaking journey. Serial killers, time bombs, puzzle breaking, conspiracies, secret societies, assassins have all the elements of a thriller and the book has moved forward at rocket speed. The reader's hair will stand up in excitement while reading the book. The book is excellent as a thriller.

A great psychological thriller. Thomas Harris is able to get on the nerves of the reader the most. The most terrifying, dark side of the human mind is revealed in this book. As well as problems like corruption in the law enforcement agencies, problems like interrupting the powerful in everything have also come up. The characterization of the main characters is the best. The character of the serial killer is given a little less prominence, so that Hannibal Lecter can have the lime light. And that character has cracked it. All in all, this book will always stand as one of the best in thriller literature.

Notes from Underground is a powerful read. It's not just about nihilism or existential despair; it dives deep into the mind of someone who's completely disconnected from society and himself. Dostoevsky explores how people get trapped in their own contradictions and self-loathing, making it a mirror to a lot of the dark sides of human nature. The underground man's bitterness and detachment feel real and relatable in a way that forces you to reflect on your own life. It's a sharp critique of society and self-delusion, and it really gets you thinking about freedom, purpose, and what it all means. That's what makes it stand out—how it shows you life from such an honest, raw perspective. Definitely a masterpiece.
