Book Review: Seed by Ania Ahlborn

This is a review of the Kindle version.

The author has a pretty good grasp on the story, dialogues and the settings, resulting in one of the best horror books out there.

One possible loophole could be that the family dog does not deduct the change in the personality of one of the characters. When the dog does so, it happens quite late in the book. I thought this to be significant, as the author makes quite a number of references to horror movies, X-Files and Stephen King's Stand.

Another thing that stuck me is that towards the end of the story, police arrive at the family's house and question couple of the family members. One of the family members must have been in the police records for couple of killings that took place in the past. But the police never mention that and the author makes no indication of the fact that they know about that either. I won’t reveal anymore, but suffice to say that it struck me as odd...

Other than these minor gripes, I was quite enthralled by the book from start to end, with some parts being particularly gripping.

Definitely recommended for fans of Horror/Supernatural genre.

Book Review: The Firm by John Grisham

This book is very good in terms of character development and the way Grisham moves the story forward.

The story starts with a young law school graduate, Mitch McDeere who is being interviewed for his new job with Bendini, Lambert and Locke, a small tax law firm based in Memphis. He bags a great job offer with loads of perks/bonuses. He moves in with his wife Abby into the new apartment and also gets a flashy new BMW, both provided by his new employer at lower mortgage and on a new lease respectively.

Soon, couple of Mitch's colleagues die in a “mysterious” accident. Mitch is intrigued to learn of a few more unsettling truths about the firm. Mitch hires his own detective, Eddie Lomax to investigate these discrepancies. Shortly, Lomax gets murdered and a FBI agent starts hounding Mitch.

The plot quickly escalates to a cat-and-mouse chase between Mitch and his employer's goons. Mitch has few confidantes besides Abby: his brother Ray and Lomax's secretary, Tammy.

Grisham paces the story nicely and the reader is sucked into the proceedings, just like Mitch. The only downside is that I found it to be a little bit lengthy.Other than this, the book scores on all fronts.

Recommended for fans of legal thrillers.
