Book Review 5 - The Picture of Dorian Gray

The Picture of Dorian Gray
(Oscar Wilde)
AN ARTIST Basil Hallward makes a picture of Dorian Gray who is in fact a very youthful and innocent person.
But this picture has a secret, that is for you to discover.
Dorian is an innocent person and hasn't seen much of life till he meets one of the friends of the artist(Basil) Lord Henry, and this man with his radical theories changes the outlook of Dorian towards life. The theories given by him are bizarre but if one ponders upon them, one might find it to be truthful and interesting. It might also affect your outlook.
The book itself is very impressive indeed.

Book Review 4 - Crisis

Crisis 
(Robin Cook)
The book is based upon a doctor who gets sued for a medical malpractice. Dr Craig Bowman is rather a dedicated Physician who is sued by one of his hypochondriac-patient's husband. Craig had devoted his whole life for his patients, abandoning his family which consisted of a wife and three daughters. But when he finds that a malpractice suit has been filed against him he is shocked to say the least. He feel embarrassed and helpless. He goes through the worst few days of his life and the daily summons at the court further adds to his distress. Finally his wife and brother-in-law(Dr. Jack Stapleton) comes to his aid to discover through an autopsy that it was not a malpractice but a homicide case.
The author is thoroughly descriptive about each and every event which makes the story draggy at times. If you like to have variety in your book-shelf then this book ought to be there.
