Review of diary of a wimpy kid

3 stars

Its narrated by this middle-school aged kid in the form of a diary, with sketches and doodles included on every page, and basically follows his days from the begining of the school year to the end. He is a bit of a loser, and trys to create a better image for himself through attempts at being class treasurer, a cartoonist for the school paper, a saftey patrol member.... In this book at least Greg is not trying to be a role model by any means, actually he's a bad example. Just living as a mostly selfish middle school kid who doesn't learn from his experience nor offer any direct valuable lessons to his readers...

She awakens from her attempt to realize that the attempt was not successful, but that she had cause damage to her heart with the medication that she had tried to overdose on and that she would die within days. ”An awareness of death encourages us to live more intensely." It talks about death and life and the meaning of them, madness and insanity and why would we actually say that someone is “mad”. It just blows your mind. I really loved the main idea/plot of the book and the message it tried to send. I also liked How it takes place in a mental institution

നാം അനുഭവിക്കാത്ത ആടുജീവിതങ്ങള്‍

5 stars

ഈ കൃതി എന്നെ കരയിപ്പിച്ചു ചിരിപ്പിച്ചു ജീവിതത്തിലെ എന്റെ ബുദ്ധിമുട്ടുകളൊന്നും ഒന്നും അല്ല എന്ന് മനസ്സികാക്കി തന്നു. മണല്‍‌പരപ്പിലെ ജീവിതം ചുട്ടുപൊള്ളിച്ച നജീബ് എന്നയാളുടെ അനുഭവമാണ് ആടുജീവിതത്തിനു പ്രേരണയായതെന്ന് നോവലിസ്‌റ്റ് ബെന്യാമിന്‍ പറയുന്നു. പ്രവാസജീവിതത്തിലെ തികച്ചും വ്യത്യസ്‌തമായ ഒരേട്.
