White Heat by K. M. Grant

Raimon has escaped the pyre and carried the blue flame to the mountains to unite his people against invasion. Besieged by the Cather White Wolf and the Catholic Aimery, his strenght begins to fail. Will his beloved Occitan and his love for Yolanda survive the King's army, gathering in the north?

Well, after Death of Kings, this book lightened my mood. It lightened the anger brewing inside me for having wasted my time on Death of Kings. It got me wondering if all had been otherwise, like every good book does.
  This is the second book in the Perfect Fire Trilogy. The next book, which is the last book, is Paradise Red and I really want to read it. The first book is Perfect Fire and I want to read that too.
  Getting back to the second book. I didn't sleep all night reading this book! I just couldn't keep it down. The suspense at every page which K. M. Grant has woven on every page is just beautiful. She has woven it so indirectly that the reader doesn't even come to know its suspense. Another reason was that I was fed up of happy endings and heroes winning all the time. This book gave way to tragedy, to real life, not to fantasy. Does a person, who is starved to death, wants to protect the Blue Flame (for instance) and for that he will fight like some two thousand soldiers single - handed? No. That is not reality. Well, if it would happen like that I wouldn't be disappointed but I would have been a bit bored.
   *Yolanda gets sold off by her brother to *Hugh des Arcis and Aimery sells Amouroix to France. And *Aimery does all this so that he could be safe not his people.
   At last, all hopes are lost as even their friends go into the enemy camp. At last, *Yolanda has to go back with *Hugh and *Aimery and *Raimon, thought they hate each other to the core, have to take the same side so as to save Occitan and their lives.
  Now, if Yolanda comes back to Raimon or if Occitan is not captured by the French, we will only come to know in the third and the last book.
  This is the perfect book I have ever read. I dont see any mistakes in it. The character K. M. Grant has chosen for herself is the lands itself, which is so very clever and the way she narrates it also is simple shocking.
  Warning: Once you pick up this book and start reading it, you will not feel like putting it down.
  *These are all the characters of the book and you will come to know who they are by reading the book.

Death of Kings by Philip Gooden

London, 1601, and Elizabeth I is nearing the end of her reign with no direct heir. Plots and rumours of rebellion abound. The Queen's former favourite, the Earl of Essex, appears to be eager to protect the throne - but some believe he intends to seize it.

 In the theatre world, the Chamberlain's Men are approached by a member of Essex's inner circle. He offers them money to put on a special performance of Shakespeare's Richard II - the treasonous drama of monarchy deposed and murdered. And player Nick Revill finds himself forced to act as a government spy and keep watch on his own company. His secret works earns him enemies, and then the murders start.....

Seriously, there is no murder in this book. My review is going to be totally negative. So, I would advice you all not to read it. This is the only book I didnt like. This book made me very angry. If only I had known! I wouldnt have wasted my time on it.
 
Anyway, this book contains a lot of suspence. Everywhere there is suspence. There should have been only the suspence at the end, not in the beginning. Philip Gooden did not explain some parts of the book and jumbled up other parts. Some parts were also predictable.
This book was a serious disaster. There is no murder. Its more of a mystery. There is a lot of suspence in the book and that makes it boring. There are like only two murders. There should have been only the suspense at the end, not in the between. I couldnt even understand half of the book. Its all jumbled up. There are parts which are not needed and parts which are not good in a murder book.

Well, Nick Revill earns only one enemy. And I dont know how does he earn him also. I dont know what does Philip Gooden want to tell through this book or what this book is about. Its all so jumbled up. I was literally waiting for this book to get over. I really dont know what to say, so I would like to conclude with :

All in all I hated this book.

Songs Composed by Us in Yours Truly

Yesterday, in Theatre Class, we composed some songs. First, we were put in teams and we could choose any song and sing it. Then, we had to compose our own song. In the first song, we mixed four songs to make one song. The second song was a bit comedy and about angels.
  The first song:
The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe
Will never be the same
Im glad you came
Im glad you came

Humne tumse  mohabbat ki hain
Oh janneman
Do you know?????? (A bit of tuning)

But Im only gonna break break your
break break your heart.
Im only gonna break break your
break break your heart.
 
But, baby tonight, the DJ got us falling in love again
Baby, tonight, the Dj got us falling in love again.
So dance dance like its the last last time of your
life life, tonight.
Cuz, baby, tonight the DJ got us falling in love again.

The first song is Glad You Came sung by THE WANTED. The second song is from a hindi movie HOUSEFUL 2. The third song is Break Your Heart sung By TAIO CRUZ.  The last song is The DJ Got Us Falling In Love Again. Im not sure who sung it. I think it  is JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE.
 The second song was composed by us. (Only the lyrics. The tuning was from Glad You Came.)

The sky is so high
The angels are so high.
With a golden tiara on their head,
They never wear red.

They spend their time using Idea 3G
And talking about their lives to the dadajis.
Have you ever wondered
What you will say to them
When they came to you?
"Im Glad You Came."
"Im Glad You Came."

The sky is so high
The angels are so high.
With a golden tiara on their head
They never wear red.

Have you ever wondered
What you will you say to them
When they come to you?
"Im Glad You Came."
"Im Glad You Came."

Lunch

  I am writing after some time because I wanted to finish Voyager. But, I just shifted to my new house and my new school is starting from 4th of June and so I have a lot to do. But that doesn't mean that I'm a total geek and I only studied these holidays. Ya I studied a lot. After all I'm going to eight, but I participated in a badminton coaching camp and got many friends. I also reduced a few kilos.
  When the camp was getting over, all of us decided that we will go for lunch in the club. We were eight people: Namita, Nikitha, Juhi, Sharan, Gaurav, Nandan, Preksha and me.
   We went in the canteen, only to find that the canteen was closed.
   Gotcha! It was a normal day there. Everybody were going about their business and we kids were going about ours. Laughing and joking and talking as if there was no worry in the world. We ordered some starters like paneer tikka, chicken lollipop and chicken tikka. We had roles. Juhi would decide, I would calculate and Nandan would pay. As it was our club, he would give the card and it would add up in his account. All of us were so excited and talking continuously, except Gaurav. He was so quite. But he ate most of the food! He didn't talk much but the excitement was being showed on his face. So, Gaurav, I'm a very good observer. Never underestimate me!
   We ordered some juices and soft drinks and started prank calling people. It was fun. I just listened. I didn't give any numbers, though.
   For main course, we ordered egg fried rice, noodles and manchurian. We ate all that very seriously and I really don't know why.
   For dessert, we ordered some ice creams and kulfi. Totally the bill summed up to Rs. 1196. Nandan was paying the bills  so we had to give him the money. So all of us had to give him Rs. 149.5, exactly. That is Rs. 150. So he got  Rs. 4 extra. Lucky person. I would do anything to get even four rupees.
   We had planned to go for swimming, but our badminton class got over at 1 o'clock and at that time, the swimming pool gets closed and that is why that plan got canceled.  Well we had fun for lunch and that's what counts!
