The Midnight Thinker

Another suspenseful yet heartbreaking tale by Higashino. The story basically proceeds as a How-Done-It-Murder-Mystery. While the story doesn't progress in a twisty, breath-taking thriller, the book is engrossing enough thanks to Higashino's densely woven writing, intelligent investigation, and some wonderful characters. But the twist at the end, which the whole story builds up to, is both surprising and emotional. The author then takes the story to another level of emotion, and concludes with a heartbreaking ending. Keigo Higashino became one of my favorite authors.

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 timeless masterpiece. What's not to love about classic science fiction like this? The beginning of the story is very strong and surprising. The buildup to the science fiction world is a masterclass. And the way the characterization is done, the reader can feel the broken, depressed psyche of each character, be it an AI. The ending is also very strong and surprising. I want to read the next books in the series, but it is not easy to pass such an epic saga.

The most awaited story, the comeback of everyone's favorite detective Holmes, a gothic representation of a village in Victorian England, an exciting detective game, a thrilling adventure. This classic by Sir Doyle is an all-time favorite. The story may have become a little backdated, but its appeal has not diminished.

I have nothing to say about Hergé's Tintin. Tintin's Adventure comics covered a large part of my childhood. The stories were full of fun and excitement. And Tintin, Snowy, Captain Haddock, Professor Calculus, Thomson & Thomson characters were my very own. These Tintin comics will always hold a special place in my heart.
