The Graves Are Walking: The Great Famine and the Saga of the Irish People by John Kelly


Famine and starvation are terrible experiences that make a man do terrible things that he never imagined to do in all his life. John Kelly draws that very picture in his book The Graves Are Walking with magnificence. John Kelly’s research shows that the death toll was staggering during the potato famine of 1845 where more than one million Irish people died due to starvation and disease and those who tried to run faced death on their journey to a so-called New World. The scholar Terry Eagleton calls it an event “with something of the characteristics of a low-level nuclear attack” which was clearly the worst disaster of the 19th century. The author conveys all the feelings of the horror of that world to the readers in a very dramatic and convincing way.

Mocking Jay by Suzanne Collins


Mocking Jay is the third installment of The Hunger Games series. Although you may have mixed feelings about the first two books and may be you will find yourself asking the question that how come these books became so famous. I personally felt like I was on a rollercoaster of emotions, one minute everything was completely clear and making sense and the next I was totally clueless about what was going on.The third installment is the grand finale of the series.

The Fallen Angel


When you start reading The Fallen Angel written by Daniel Silva you get the feeling of “been there (The Da Vinci Code), done that (Angels and Demons).” Although this novel mimics the murder and corruption in Vatican from the Dan Brown’s books but the difference is that The Fallen Angel deals with stolen art and antiques.So, it is safe to say that it is not entirely like the Dan Brown’s mystery books.
