Book Review:

Author says that we have a giant within us with which we can do anything and everything. He Suggests three steps to awake our giants.

Step 1- Making Decisions

Author made a strong decision that he will work hard and change his lifestyle from rich to poor. Without his strong decision he would have failed in his life, he says the only thing which differentiate a successful people and unsuccessful people is their decisions, he says that the one who do productive works will reach success easily, he says that there are two reasons why our giant is sleeping, first we avoid taking good decisions, second ,we don't know the difference between a wish and decision. Author says that the thought which we make as an action is what is called a decision. So making a strong decision is very important in our life.

Step 2- PPP Technique

All of us struggle in making good decision for this he suggests a technique named "Pain and Pleasure Principle"..

All of us know, when we read books we can achieve good things in our life but many of us feel lazy to do that,the reason for this is ,we think that reading is painful task. We should overcome the short term pain to gain the long term pleasure in our life.

Step 3 - Believe

All of us should believe our self that we can do anything and everything he says two things to make us believe in our self. First, to eliminate negative believes, second, to increase positive believes.

He says that "what we think we become"....

           So, these are the three steps the author suggests by which we can awake our gaint within us. And attain success in our life

My opinion about this book:-

This book is really good and beautiful and it is completely motivational, the one who read this book will be surely be motivated. Author made me understand that I should believe myself instead of believing others and I should follow those principles and awake my giant and attain success to enjoy an happy life.

Thank You.

Book Reviewed: The girl in room 105

Author: Chetan bhagat

Other Details: Fiction

Book Review:

                This is 300-page murder thriller revolves around an IIT pass out student named Keshav and his ex-zara. He was depressed because of the separation .Then one day, he gets a message from Zara on her birthday. Keshav and his very close friend got ready to meet.

Then all of sudden they could see zara was murdered in room 105 from there the story get’s so interesting. Keshav and his friend do lots of investigation to find the culprit this is one of the best part in this novel. The book keeps you guessing who is the culprit till end, and it is a good roller-coaster ride with its twist and turns. As per my perspective this novel is worth reading and also a good beginner friendly due to the simple language used in it.
