DNF: Saraswati's Intelligence by Vamsee Juluri

I was actually looking forward to reading this book and hate myself for DNFing it. I wouldn't say it is a bad one but just wasn't for me.

It is the story of Hanuman while he is an adolescent. 

DNF: I Love My Love by Reyna Biddy

This is one of those books which you believe you will love but ultimately you tire of how much time it takes for it to make sense to you. I gave it up in between. I was half way through he book and I gave it up. It was testing my patience a lot which annoyed me towards the end. 

I love my love is essentially a poetry collection which focuses on your own insecurities, self discovery and letting yourself fall in love. While the collection seemed quite interesting in the beginning it started getting repetitive pages after pages. The same emotions are depicted in different words. The similar feeling of melancholy is spread over the book like dull clouds. Some of the lines in the poems are beautiful while the others are just crude. It does not even give you enough time to delve on the previous poem. I took enough breaks between reading the poems but I still couldn't get through the entire book. I DNFed it.

DNF: Colorful Notions (The Roadtrippers 1.0) by Mohit Goyal

I tried to like this book, I really did! Reading the blurb I was really excited to pick this book up to read. It seemed to have everything I love about life. Travel and food! But sadly the first time I picked this one up I gave up on the 7th page and the second time at 42nd. I will be brief about why I DNFed this book and a short review. 

Colorful Notions was going to be a reading treat for anyone. Just anyone. Or at least that's what the blurb appeared to say. Travel, food and youth were a great combination to spin a story around. But sadly things started tumbling down right from the beginning.
The cover page is rather average. It does not stand out or does nothing to appeal to you as a reader. The dull combination of colors and some caricature does not work at all. The characters are rather cliched. They have been spoken about in numerous books and watched in many movies. The characters had nothing to offer. No depth. The content seemed to be interesting in the book but went from bad to worse as the journey progressed. The author could have made a list of places he visited and a food he ate and it would have not made any difference. 

The narration was the most annoying part. It was quite dull. It was devoid of any feelings at all. The language was crude to the core. 

I would say the concept was quite interesting but it lacked in detailing. 

It was a bad pick for me. I have decided not to pick this book up again to read. I DNFed it.
