Review: The Sign of Four

-
The Sign of Four The Sign of Four by Arthur Conan Doyle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
An Exciting read. Treasure hunt, murder, mystery and deductions; full of everything. 
Enjoyed reading through it. Sherlock Holmes also explains his science of deductions to quite an higher level. His addiction of addictives in the absence of an excitable case to work on.
The friendship progresses to a much higher level between Holmes and Dr. Watson.
Dr. Watson manages to get a wife by some precariouly curious instances during helping the formidable detective. Happily married in just 2nd novel with Mary Watson. I was bit amazed as in the Sherlock series, the marriage happens during quite different circumstances and quite later in the series at around season 3, I guess.
Some of lines I liked are as follows:
"A woondrous subtle thing is love, for here were we two who had never seen each other before that day, between whom no word or even look of affection had ever passed, and yet now in an hour of trouble our hands instinctively sought for each other. I have marvelled at it since, but at the time it seemed the most natural thing that I should go out to her so, and, as she has often told me, there was in her also the instinctto turn to me for comfort and protection. So we stood hand in hand, like two children, and there was peace in our hearts for all the dark things that surrounded us."   - Dr. Watson
"When you have eliminated the impossible whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth"  - Sherlock Holmes
"Women are never to be entirely trusted -not the best of them." - Sherlock Holmes

Anxious People by Fredrik Backman My rating: 5 of 5 stars Well well, For me, this was the kind of book in which when you're only a few chapters in the book, you just know that you'll love it. Such a fantastic writing style of the author. Absolutely, loved it. It's not the general plot that holds with with the book, it's the amazing storytelling that I as a reader found different and adored. Also, the plot being tight is just an other added bonus to the box of ecstacy you get from it. It's a book about life, love, kids, parents and most of all people being idiots all the time. Good Idiots, I mean. It's about a silly bank robbery of a cashless bank and hitherto the un-precedented hostage drama of idiots by an idiots. It'll make you laugh, cry and feel a wide variety of emotions throught it's course. Also, I loved the way the author Fredrik Backman, dealt with the topic surrounding suicide, it's influence on the protagnists, the way every

What if our endless observable universe is just a body, more or less like our own human body?          Earth is a just cell in a wide array of space or just an energy flower molecule, like one of the millions present in our body.              Imagine a whole unit capable of working on itself with just the right type of food provided to it externally, like glucose to our cells and solar energy to our planet. Imagine a single human cell with all of its subunits working day in and day out for production of food or to assimilate energy, isn’t it similar to the organisms going on their lives to procure basic necessities.   Mitochondria being the energy generator in usable form for the cell, while plants doing the same for us. Different organelles within a cell to perform different functions for its sustenance, similar to vivid, specific functional roles of a biological species for the ecosystem. Cell able to exist on its own just like the planet, with some sort of external energy sour
