Book: Life After Death

Life After Death: The Burden of Proof by Deepak Chopra

My rating: 1 of 5 stars

This book didn't meet my expectations. It seems like the book is trying to sell the eastern vision of death to the people of Christian faith or the western world.

Deepak Chopra simply accepts everything written in Hindu Vedas or mythology. Throughout the book keeps comparing the with Christen version. Mention of Hindu mythology is in form of the story of Savitri (Lady who wants to save life of her husband from God of death), which runs throughout the book.

Though out of the book there are anecdotes of other people who claim to have a supernatural experience, such as 'out-of-body experience', resurrection, dreams.

On the whole, the book made little sense to me because it has nothing definitive or assertive to offer. I am leaving the book half way.

Book: To Kill a Mockingbird

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Story is narrated by a small girl, in small town, in early 19 th century. It is about the how a growing child perceives and understands the world . Unprejudiced way of  looking at things exposes the bigotry in the world, errant behavior of grown-ups and racialism.


Very simple and light read. It goes in a slow paced manners and characters are one dimensional.  
There is nothing that we dont know of and there is no strong message that authour puts accross. But does leave you with a sense of disgrace for who our society is and how it treats deprived people.

A must read for teenagers.
