Fave Book # 2: The Brethren by Johhn Grisham

Here is another one of John Grisham's work that stars people who stand to use the law and their knowledge of it for their personal benefit.




Three ex-judges, also known as the Brethren, doing time in a federal prison called The Trumble in Florida fine tunes a perfectly wicked extortion scam. They make use of all the time in world contemplating about their own lives. One was sent up for a murderous drunken joyride, the one for tax evasion and the third one for skimming bingo profits.

Meanwhile outside the Trumble, a controversial presidential election is taking place and one candidate is plunging into fame fast. With his timely political message and surprisingly, huge amount of money that no other candidate in history has ever had, he sends the whole nation on its grips. This includes the Brethren, because for them they just found the perfect victim. It’s now or never. What they don’t know is that a shady government figure is manipulating a very hidden and deadly string.

Now, while sitting in the prison library, they must come up with a fool-proof way to outsmart their victim. Because the timing couldn’t be perfect.

Fave Book #1: The Alchemist by Paolo Coelho


My first blog post should be about the most influential book in my life: The Alchemist.


Paolo Coelho creatively explored the story of a young boy named Santiago in search for a treasure - a treasure that he would soon discover as something far greater than anything he has ever encountered in his whole life as a shepherd. It is a wonderful book that will make you believe in something that you had when you were young, and what you have forgotten as you grew old.

The greatest adventure in life is finding your treasure, whenever, wherever! The Alchemist made me believe that nothing in life is impossible. We are all a part of God, and God is a part of us, so we should not be afraid. The power of believing shall take us to the edge of the world and to the depths of our soul.

If you are looking for a life changing and moving book, The Alchemist is the best there is.
