A Caller's Game by J.D. Barker - Audiobook Review

Book: A Caller's Game
Author: J.D. Barker
Format: Audiobook
My Rating: 4.4 / 5 ⭐

My Review:
I took up A Caller's Game due to its compelling title & blurb. Being a fan of live radio shows, reading the book's summary, I couldn't restrain myself from requesting this audiobook from NetGalley. I have never read Die Hard (which people are stating is similar to this plot), nor any of J.D. Barker's books, but I am happy I could listen to this action-packed thriller which ain't less than a film in any sense.

As the writer mentions, this whole novel is more character-driven than plot-driven. But, I sensed that it got dragged uselessly & I got worn out midway. I had to inwardly make myself set for the long tale-telling. The narrators' voices befitted the male & female personalities which brought the account to a totally another level. Nonetheless, you don't realize you are holding your breath till you actually free it at the end of each episode.

This exciting novel is all regarding good v/s evil, kindness v/s selfishness. The narrative from the POV of two actors provides a more handy picture of the account & the situations both currently face. Every part gets more interesting than the earlier one. However, some of them could have been let go. The tale is puzzling, unusual & at one time agonizing. I would recommend this one to all thriller fans.

Everything And Nothing by Nilotpal Kumar Dutta - Book Review

Book: Everything And Nothing Author: Nilotpal Kumar Dutta Publisher: Tara India Research Press Genre: Historical Fiction Format: Kindle My Rating: 4.5 / 5 Stars Review: You feel the brunt of a situation when you and your closed ones are, in reality, going through it. That's what precisely happened to Damyanti, our protagonist, from Everything and Nothing. The politics for separatism were embedded by the British for increasing division amongst the Hindus and Muslims to control India peacefully. 'Divide and Rule' said the Outsiders, and politicians seem to live by it even now. Author Nilotpal has splendidly scripted the novel, including all the circumstances and situations that we had only faintly learned in our history lessons. How hard it must have been for the people who had to, in effect, endure it. I have rarely come across a separation narrative that of India and East Bengal. Kudos to the author for doing a noteworthy study on the topic; representation o...

  Book: MI ЯЯЯ O: at TH Ǝ W Ǝ I Я Ɑ WAYWA Я Ɑ Author: Manoj Kumar Sharma Genre: Fiction Format: Kindle My Rating: 4.1 / 5 stars Review: Manoj's debut book 'Mirrro' is a perfect action-packed entertainer with the ideal amount of action, drama, love, and suspense. All that you would definitely find in a Bollywood flick. As I was proceeding, I could see images rolling in my memory, and I really had popcorns throughout the novel. Expressing all the uncanny techniques to resolve India's predicaments is absolutely unheard of and displays the author's creativity. We invariably believe that each New Year, there'll be a New Progressive India. But will that actually be true? Will all the prevailing difficulties that India is suffering be abolished? Will there be further obstacles generated due to all the scientific inventiveness? The author has conscientiously exposed New India with its current problems and how it hits the general people. The vices, i...

Book: Breathtaking Author: Courtney Turcotte Bond Publisher: All The Everythings Publishing My Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars "If you donate your organs, you will certainly enhance someone's life, and most likely, you will save someone's life." Review: Breathtaking, Courtney's debut novel is a marvelous piece that is motivated by real-life youngsters (the real heroes), and I am so glad that I got to read this one. Adam, Cara, and Reid, you are the cutest people, and you'll have grown to be my most beloved personalities. I covet we were buddies in actual as well. Breathtaking is regarding the ties of friendship and affection. There is an elegant fabrication of sentiments of joy, melancholy, heartbreaks, neglect, expectations, and recognition. This book, with its story, unquestionably teaches us a lot about life, nothing is constant. If there's a shadow of tribulation, there's also peace, and all take their course to emerge. This book not just m...
