Wake up Life is calling - Five more minutes | Book review

Wake up life is calling. But before that five more minutes read this book review. This book is a sequel to Preeti Shenoy's Life is what you make it. I don't know is it is a perfect story or not. But i can say it is a perfect sequel.
Story of Ankita continues from where it stopped in Life is what you make it. This story explain what happen to Ankita after that. By the way, you may think who is Ankita? To answer that question, read the book review of Life is what you make it by me. I am not compel or plead you, if you want then read.

Now again Ankita started to face problems. She started a new life, she dropped herself from MBA course. She also relocate from her old house. Then she joined in a new Creative writing course also made some new friends there. when she thought, she cut off all the chords from her past life. A new life is going to flourish for her. Problems started to give reappearence in her life.
Her past life again started to torment her. She could not avoid all of the happened things. In one way or another way it continued to come into her life. Presence of it also bring back the dreaded memories of it.
She start to loose control of her reconstructed life. Once again it become as a hell. Now the actual story is how Ankita overcome all these problems. What makes her life worse again. Preeti shenoy make us a silent walk in Ankita's Life. It is filled with pain only pain. But when we listen to the pain of others, It will automatically reduce ours, Same apply here.

Characters:

Parul and Jhanki came as friends of Ankita. Though they come for most of the story, presence of those characters doesn't create any significant impact. Then freedy come as ex boy friend come boy friend of parul.
Apart from this all the remaining characters in Life is what you make it give a reappearance here also. Now you could sense the reason for those problems. But the most important character next to Ankita in this story is Mrs Hayden. She came as a teacher to Ankita. She helps Ankita to fix her broken pieces of Life. How? read the book, you will know it.

In this Sequel Preeti Shenoy create a big deal with her deadly detailing. The way she narrates the story help us to really feel the pain of Ankita. It create that connection with characters which is needed for a good story.
Another important thing in this Novel is Ankita's Life lessons. When Ankita face unbearable pain or when she encounter unavoidable problem or when she realise something important, she write what she inferred from that, in a Note Book. Life's Lessons is the name she gave it to Note book.
Throughout the story she wrote exactly Ten notes. Believe me everyone is inspiring. Preeti shenoy perfectly convey what she wanted to tell us through these notes. This thing make this book as not only a story something more than that. It is a kind of solution to our problems. It slape us hardly with thing called reality. It will definitely create a small change within all of us.

Recommended or Not?

Most of the story deals with Bipolar Disorder and its evil effect. It gives me a feel that slightly it was over spoken. When we began deeply connected with story we start to feel some negativity whenever something bad happen in story. That thing is happening here.
Apart from that, Narration of this story is better than Life is what you make it. Things like Life's Lesson makes it even more interesting. But Author focuses only on what she want or what she wanted us to focus. She left plenty of things dangling in air just like that. Like what happen to Ankita's friends. What happen to her career. It all abruptly stop with the personal life of Ankita. May be she thought of writing a next sequel to Ankita's Life. But it gives a feeling of incomplete.
I recommend you this book provided if you already read Life is what you make it and Liked it. But if you not read the prequel it won't sound appealing to you. Since it is a continuation you won't know full story.

Happy Sunday!!! bye...

Book Review: The Subtle Art Of Not Givng A F*ck

Book Name: The Subtle art of not giving a f*ck Author: Mark Manson My Rating: 4/5 One of the difficult thing is writing a book review to self helping book. Because you did not have anything to speak about. There is no story, No incident nothing. These books are filled with only motivation. This is a kind of book which causes you confusion in addition to motivation and all those stuff. He approached everything in a different way. Things which we followed for years, we may started to question those. after reading this book. for eg everyone say, see failure as a opportunity. But mark is approaching it in a different way. he say, just accept it. In order get out of missery, you should first accept the fact that you are in missery. Like this he followed counterintiative approach in all aspects. Most of us know this is the first book of mark and it is a great hit. He became a best selling author from a famous blogger. Even an averse reader would have heard about this book or a...
