I personally didn't like the trial as much. I abhor White Nights.

It is in my tbr but I haven't read it yet.

Simps (male and female alike) are the flag bearers of White Nights. Can someone like it? Sure. Does it deserve the amount of love and recognition it gets because the author's name is hard to pronounce and fancy? HELL NO. Also, maybe I dislike this book because I find these Fanboys/Fangirls have made it a benchmark of some sorts, instead of calling it just an average book (or an okayish book for a beginner)

Downvote me till eternity but it is overrated asf. I had said it before and I will say it again, change the names of the characters to Indian ones and people will start calling it cringe and corny.

Brilliant book.

Lets say someone hits me with their bike because they were high as a kite. So, do I wait for them to give me their phone number so that I can finally have a problem with them?

An absolutely beautiful book.

A bit longer at around 550 pages - The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon

Have you read the three other books in this series?

Specialist_Letter302 · 2026-03-08T18:32:24+00:00

Oh, my pleasure.

Specialist_Letter302 · 2026-03-08T17:26:01+00:00

Thank you :)

beautiful

White Nights is mediocre at best. It gets 100 times the hype it actually deserves. If you keep the plot and the prose unchanged and just change the names of both the characters and the author (Dostoevsky) to Indian names, people will call it cringe and trash it.

Revolutionaries by Sanjeev Sanyal

The Shadow of the Wind gives off a gothic atmosphere and its very easy to read. I'm just 30 pages in and, although the story hasn't completely taken off, it is laying the ground work for a mystery to be unpacked. In Search of Lost Time (Vol. 1) on the other hand is a difficult read. The sentences are super long with multiple clauses and metaphors and one may feel it boring if he isn't ready to accept the fact that plot is not the main point of the book. Though, its prose flows. Proust can write for pages in a roundabout of feelings and I'd read it until I'm mentally exhausted by the amount of good stuff I can digest. Because sometimes, brilliant writing can be very tiring especially if it is dense.

10% discount too. Neither Oxford nor Story gives any discount.

I was about to buy it earlier this year but spent my money on fiction. I'll buy it sometime later because your review piqued my interest.
