To kill a mocking bird by harper lee

An amazing book written in 20th century in British English, is gripping humorous masterpiece.
Harper lee has written book in first person from the point of view of a nine years old girl. The innocent girl is brought up in free environment by a lawyer Atticus- the man of values. She spends her childhood with her elder brother Jem and boyfriend Dill. Tales of ghostly house excites children. All her life is passed among luxurious and careful environment but she has to face reality when her father decides to fight for a nigger.
Language is quite difficult because of its rural ancient British touch, plot is quite normal but the idea the author has put before the society is till worthy even after six decades.
Incidences described in the book reveals the characters Normally seen in society. The book is full of punches and humorous sentenced.
My rating is 9 out 10 stars.
Must read book.....whatever genre you like to read you will love to read this book.

Ratings: 6.5 out of 10

Three females engaged in different professions are declined for marriage because of various reasons; the common reason is their fatty body. Whirling around the desperate women the story is written in fluent English; well developed characters keep the plot alive.
Although poor plotting downturns the book men can peek in soul of women by reading the book. The different concept is change from bunches of romance novel and I will appreciate the author for the concept.
In short one time read...

Blurb: “It seemed as if it was just me, and just her, just like the way we had first talked, just like I had always imagined, just Like how I wanted it to be.” Was it love at first, or was it love every time after that? A love story spread across twenty years. This is the story of, Shalini and I.

About the Author:
Prashant Sharma currently lives in Delhi and works in a multinational bank. An engineer (DCE) and MBA by education, he took to writing in his second year at IIM Lucknow and this is his third book after ‘Love, Life and A Beer Can!’ (2010 release) – a humorous take on growing up, and ‘If I Pretend I am Sorry!’ (2011 release) - an underworld story bringing back the angry young man.

Review:
Protagonist falls for a girl in his childhood, who meets him intermittently every six or seven years. Confused protagonist does not know whether the girl Shalini loves him or not. Due the time the protagonist is busy in making career and falls for another two girls. After having set career, he got engaged to a girl Kriti, whom he loves reasonably but then Shalini comes to his life again....

Let us not talk about the confused protagonist- who seems to choose best option available each time. Author confuses whether the protagonist is in love of her or not. 
Author has described story well but fails to convey feelings; characters are well developed. I would have given more credits if Shalini's character has been given more space. Happy ending love story will touch the heart of girls, and loving friend- Hari is plus point.
