Priceless! <\/p>\n

A book for a lifetime. Couldn’t have asked for more!<\/p>\n

“Up here” she pointed to her head, “We all are beautiful”.<\/p>\n

James Lawless – I’m mesmerized. <\/p>\n

Francis Copeland, a middle-aged man working as a librarian in The Avenue. It is a story about how things take turns in his life, how he befriends some kids in the neighborhood and how his whole life was nothing but a lie. <\/p>\n

The Avenue is a beautiful fabrication of raw emotions, brutal truth, twisted relationships and the little things in between called love. <\/p>\n

Gardening is like praying. You can’t do it without kneeling.<\/p>\n

James Lawless has narrated the story like a poetry. <\/p>\n

First page of it and it was decided then and there, that I’m reading something exceptionally wonderful. <\/p>\n

I fell in love all over again with literature! <\/p>\n

His words flowed in my mind as a river flows, untamed, wild and without any barriers. <\/p>\n

Every time I held this book in my hand, I couldn’t prevent myself from smiling.
\nThis is the kind of book which will have different effects of different people. <\/p>\n

For me, it was all magical. I am still flabbergasted with the aura one can feel from a novel. <\/p>\n

The author’s writing style’s beauty knew no bounds. Perfectly woven scenes in a refined and talented language!<\/p>\n

The vanilla-like smell that I felt in each page of The Avenue is winning my heart over and over. <\/p>\n

There is nothing better to do than to bury yourself in The Avenue, get lost in its heart-owning fragrance and be enchanted under the author’s spell. <\/p>\n

His presentation has been so captivating that at no point you will want to let go off The Avenue. <\/p>\n

I can bet that if you ever praised To Kill A Mockingbird or The Sense of An Ending – you are going to applaud it even more!<\/p>\n

Verdict : I. Want. You. To. Read. This. Book. Badly.
