Q & A by Vikas Swarup
2.0

I hope the movie (Slumdog Millionaire) is better. The book wasn't horrible, but it wasn't really well-written either. The conceit of the book is exposed early on and nothing really surprises the reader after that. I did learn a lot about the slums of India and the deplorable conditions that some people live in...but at their cores, I think our societies are not really all that different.

It's a quick read (2-3 days for me), so it's still worth the time.
