Review: Scythe

Scythe Scythe by Neal Shusterman
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I have never been a fan of YA fiction having a perception of them as teenage stuff and full of fantasy. This book has changed my perception. Read it as a challenge but enjoyed reading it. Still cant say whether I would be reading the series. I have other more important books to read.
Considering the names used in the novel one can deduce that author has at least read about these people even though he has chosen a different field of contribution to the world than them. The best thing about this novel is sudden twists. Maybe they are common in all YA but this was something new for me.

Review: The China-Pakistan Axis: Asia's New Geopolitics

The China-Pakistan Axis: Asia's New Geopolitics The China-Pakistan Axis: Asia's New Geopolitics by Andrew Small
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book came to me out of nowhere at a time when I was having tough time reading books. I started and was totally absorbed by this book. The narrative is just amazing. Too much juice in this book. Categorized into chapters for easy reading and understanding. Ups and downs of relationship discussed thoroughly from the very beginning including ignition for the relationship when it started back in 1960s. Before 1960 the things were going in opposite direction. I do feel that author was a bit focused on one topic: Nuclear technology collaboration among the both countries. Maybe for the sake of his personal curiosity. Many new things learned from this book which will stay with me. Looking forward to read more from the author.
