Slumdog Millionaire and Kristen

I finished Slumdog Millionaire yesterday. Overall it is a pretty good book. The premise was interesting, and the way the author set up the story made it more intriguing than if he had just told the story of the protagonist's life in chronological order. Each chapter tells about an experience from Ram Mohammad Thomas's life and how this experience allowed him to know the answer to one question on the gameshow, Who Will Will a Billion? The book moved pretty quickly. There were a couple of places where the author overtold the story, but for the most part, it was a satisfying read. It wasn't the best book ever, but I'm certainly glad I've read it.

After reading Slumdog Millionaire I needed something light and fluffy, so I read Kristen, a 122 page supplement to the Clique series. There's not a whole lot to say about these books. They're mindless and empty, but fun to read.
