Not many people know many things about the History of Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos. The aftermaths of War in the 75s and how innocent village dwellers like Moon were dragged into it, is a striking tale, one that informs us of the past and the privileges of the present. Moon and his family went through innumerable hardships, including the precarious absence of Salt, the one common place commodity that we take for granted so easily. In the forest life, there's no way to get this essential ingredients. In a tale of adventure, horror, violence and rescue, we encounter a thoroughly enjoyable and informative read. Audio narration does an apt job too. Recommended!...more

The story is fine. The protagonist is spectacular. And yet, I cannot seem to whole-heartedly be fond of the novella. Parts of the story are fascinating, for instance, Holly Golightly's apparent unreserve with the budding writer narrator. I also like the opening scene which introduces the mystery of where our heroine can be at the moment. The scene brings the reader into the story and somehow or the other, we are entrapped the fast-paced New York of 1940. I would recommend the book as a tranquil read. However, honestly, with the impeccable performance by Audrey, the film version brings forth Holly's persona a tad bit more effectily. The book is outstanding, no doubt, but couple it with the movie session post reading and there you have it - " a top banana in the shock department"....more

Ruskin Bond is one of my favorite authors. I adore his simplicity and the appeal in a rustic life close to the nature. This collection is astutely curated. I especially loved the "Night Train to Deoli" and "The Blue Umbrella", the latter of which has been made into a wonderful film. The first few stories from the author's own life were imaginative too. "Rani" shall be close to my heart. Highly recommended. Audiobook does justice to the book, however prompt with the chapter number when a particular chapter starts would be a great update....more
