This blog...

I have made this blog for the sole purpose of keeping track of the books I have read. Some day I will look back and say "WOW! I sure do read a lot!"
For those of you that come across this blog, I hope you find it useful. It may help you find your next book, get a new perspective on a book you've already read, or at the very least, provide a new way for you to waste a few minutes of your day.

Slumdog Millionaire by Vikas Swarup


Previously known as Q & A


I had seen the movie multiple times before I got a hold of the book. I was hesitant at first to read it because I believe that the books are always better than the movie, however the movie was INCREDIBLE and I was afraid that reading the book might ruin the movie. The truth is that they are COMPLETELY different. They follow the same pattern of telling the story based on knowing the question to one of the answers. But the stories themselves are totally different.


The book is AMAZING! The things that he goes through, the reason he gets on the show, the girl he falls in love with…I could go on and on. Just thinking about it makes me smile. While I was reading it, it was hard because what happens to him is beyond words. He has a very hard life. The end, however, makes up for everything. All the pain, suffering, sadness and horror you feel…it all goes away in the end!
