About Me


Hey everyone,
Welcome to Solitaire words and I'm Veena. I have always loved reading and I always loved getting lost in the world of books. Books, like music, always liberates you and de-stresses you if you let it do so. I'll share from books to random thoughts of mine with you people. Stay tuned for more.

Happy reading!!!

Love.

The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas-John Boyne

Excerpt from the book:- "And who decided which people wore the striped pyjamas and which people wore the uniforms?". Blurb of the book:- The book is set in 1940's during holocaust. Its about a boy, Bruno, who comes home one day only to discover that he has to leave Berlin and go to another place because of his father's job. The main thing that bothered him the most was leaving his three best friends for life. What he discovers in the new place and how it changes his life is the rest of the story. My View/Take:- A gruesome act that killed millions and millions of people for belonging to a section that was considered wrong, depicted through the innocent eyes of a 9 year old.

A reader should definitely read this book. This book is a good read and  is written in a beautiful way...

Blurb:- This isn't a story but a true account of a teenager who endured pain and much more by going into hiding with her family due to the atrocities of the Nazi's against Jews. My view:- Anne frank shares in her diary how she and her family had to go into hiding and how each day was spent in constant fear of being discovered and the consequences thereof. She shared in it how there was distance between her and her mother, her dream of becoming a journalist and a writer someday. Through her thoughts, one could see that she was a firm believer in equality and feminism. One can see the transition in her over the course of time that she was in hiding. She questions the point of a war. She questions why a discrimination based on faith. She questions herself for being in hiding when there are million...
