I have just finished reading Q & A written by Vikas Swarup which the movie Slumdog Millionaire was based off of, and for once the movie is so much better than the book. In the movie you feel inspired and uplifted, whereas in the book, the stories are more perverse and doesn't have the same warm, fuzzy feeling you get at the end. You feel as if you like the characters more and can relate to them more. It's still an okay book, but I would definitely recommend the movie over the book any day. Maybe it's because there's a love story involved and that is his inspiration to win the money in the end in the movie. I would give this book a C, whereas with the movie, a solid A.
About Me
- The MAAY Family
- Mike and I got married on January 3, 2008 in the Salt Lake City Temple. We met December 31, 2003 on New Years Eve, after his best friend invited him to a party. It was nearing midnight, and I had never kissed someone before on New Years Eve. He was sitting there all alone, in his University of Utah sweatshirt, and his Grizzlies backwards baseball cap, and he looked pretty cute. I asked him, "Hey, would you like to kiss at midnight?" He looked confused... Then he finally said, "Sure." I went over to him, and gave him a little peck (which apparently did not reach his lips, more like his chin...) and that was the start of it! We have a beautiful boy, Aiden, who will be two years old in June, and he is the joy of both our lives! We are both working, and we are currently living in Lehi, UT.We are a happy family and love doing things together.
