 Book Review: Unmasked


                   My Rating: 

"Meet Gary. A very average raccoon of average intelligence. His daily concerns are where to get his next snack and how to remain unnoticed. Then suddenly, with the help of his plucky friend Jenny, he is thrust into a world of risk and adventure. He must confront his past and his own insecurities as he decides his future. As they work to save the lives of those around them, they learn about themselves and who they are capable of becoming."

~ From Goodreads ~

This seemingly simple story about small animals in the woods and their interactions with humans and their pets has a deep message to put across. The settings of fantasy and the reality of all the emotions described make this book a pleasure to read. It is difficult to believe that she is a first-time author!

Gary and Jenny, Max and Jonathan, and even Mr. Pickles will all contribute to your enjoyment of such a heartwarming and humorous read. Mind you, it is not all fun and jokes, there is a mystery to solve too. 

How a Racoon(Gary), a Rabbit(Jenny), a Chipmunk (Jonathan), and a cunning Fox (Max) go about solving this murder mystery is what this book is all about. But the story within the story, when the backgrounds of each of the characters are being explained, has a lot to teach us. 

This book has so much wisdom and it is so well written. I don’t really believe that heroes need a cape. There are so many real life heroes around us who do just small things to help others around them. Most heroic work goes unnoticed and unappreciated though. 

Acording to me the moral of the story is, “You are the master of your own destiny, don’t learn to blame your past”  

I highly recommend reading this "quick" read, fast-paced book.

What 2020 has taught me?

  Let’s see, apart from the fact that it scared the sh*t out off me, there are at least 10 things that the year 2020 has taught me. Please find them below in no particular order.   1.      There is nothing that a change in thought process can’t change. Each time I have entered the blogging world, I have always left it behind with big life lessons. It happened again in 2020. The number of people we meet online far outnumbers the number of people we meet in real life. So the experiences and lessons are learned faster and with a bang. But I will still persist and continue blogging, purely for the love of it. 2.      There is nothing that is permanent in this life. May it be personal or professional, it’s time to learn to not take anything or anyone for granted. I knew this at the back of the head before, but now it is imprinted in me.   3.      There is nothing that is more important than love and harmony. Being right or wrong isn’t the issue. The issue s are your thoughts and a

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Book Review: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy  My Rating: ⭐️ ⭐ ️ ⭐ ️ ⭐ ️ ⭐ ️ "Seconds before the Earth is demolished to make way for a galactic freeway, Arthur Dent is plucked off the planet by his friend Ford Prefect, a researcher for the revised edition of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy who, for the last fifteen years, has been posing as an out-of-work actor. Together these dynamic pair begin a journey through space aided by quotes from The Hitchhiker's Guide ("A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have") and a galaxy-full of fellow travelers: Zaphod Beeblebrox—the two-headed, three-armed ex-hippie and totally out-to-lunch president of the galaxy; Trillian, Zaphod's girlfriend (formally Tricia McMillan), whom Arthur tried to pick up at a cocktail party once upon a time zone; Marvin, a paranoid, brilliant, and chronically depressed robot; Veet Voojagig, a former graduate student who is obsessed with

I had come across a few of the techniques mentioned in this book even before. But the way the author has made a fair and just (aka doable) list of all that is important into an amazing book is just mind blowing.  I have to be honest
