fengrhi 's review for:

Slumdog Millionaire by Vikas Swarup
4.0

I have attempted to read this book before, and only completing half. I don't regret the fact because I'm not sure if I was ready for what the novel has to offer two years ago. Now that I've read it, I thank myself for hastily picking it up from my bookshelf while packing for a summer trip. I don't read books that have happy endings as often as the next person, because I think it's better when someone is in ease with themselves instead. When their problem is solved, and they have learned something from it, unlike Ariel from The Little Mermaid (all aside, that is still one of my favorite Disney movies). Slumdog Millionaire has so much to offer when it comes to a satisfying ending of my taste. Salim prompts a hit man to murder Maman, and Ram saves his damsel in distress, gives a portion of his earnings to the poor; never forgetting where he came from.
