Teaser Tuesdays, January 20

It's time again for Teaser Tuesday!

What's it all about?
  • Grab your current read
  • Let the book fall open to a random page
  • Share 2 "teaser" sentences from the page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.
  • No spoilers! Just teasers :)
This week I'm reading Q & A by Vikas Swarup which you may know is what the recent film Slumdog Millionaire was based on. I really loved Slumdog Millionaire, which was directed by Danny Boyle. I saw it just before Christmas and now it's won a ton of awards, well deserved awards if you ask me!

I'm not very far in so I can't tell you yet how similar Q & A is to the film. I can, however, give you a teaser...

'Absolutely, once hundred per cent correct! You have just won two thousand rupees.'
'Amen,' I say.
I'll post my review when I'm done. I'll let you know how similar it is to the film.

Has anyone read this book or seen Slumdog Millionaire? What did you think?

    I read the book and saw the movie I LOVE them both so much!! The movie is now my absolute favorite movie ever. I had not heard about it until I got two free screening tickets to see it in November, and after watching it I was so wowed it was crazy. I told everyone I knew about it and to go see it b/c it's just so darn amazing. A lot of my friends loved it as much as I did.
    The book is quite a bit different from the movie. The movie focuses way more on the love story part than the book does. Q&A is really good but to me the movie is better b/c I just love love stories hehe :D
