Slumdog Millionaire

I have heard from many people that the movie was very good but I have never seen the movie. Usually, book-based movies do not do the books justice so I had highexpectations for this book. I loved the plot and I felt a unique understanding of the characters. I reallt enjoyed the questions because I liked to see if I could answer them myself. My favorite part of the was at the end, when you find out that the girl is from one of his stories. I also loved the part where Prem Kupar thinks he is really clever when he gives Jamal a different question during the commercial than on live television, but he knows both questions. I really enjoyed some of the morals, like faith, guts and honesty. Another really good read. 9/10

Outliers

Definitely one of my favorite books of the year, which was offered to me by Mr. Cappiello. A book that really interested me because it is based on success. I really liked it because it was not too long either. My favorite parts of the book where the chapters that described the Italian-Americans that had a 95% chance of not getting heart disease because they lived happier and healthier. I also really enjoyed the chapter that hypothesized the reason why asians are stereopically better at math than other ethinicities, because they have a more logical, faster language when it comes to math, because the brain memorizes things the best after the first 3 seconds or so. Leanred a lot from the book, enjoyed reading it, good writing style. 8.5/10.
