The Accidental Apprentice (2013)
language
English
3.31 of 5 Votes: 5
review 1: A young woman in Delhi is offered a chance to become the CEO of one of India's major corporations, if she can pass seven tests of her character. The premise is amusingly unlikely and the story full of high adventure and moral lessons, but it's a fun bit of escapism and it address...

review 1: Toen ik begon met lezen wist het boek mij niet echt te pakken, ik kon niet plaatsen of ik het wat vond of niet. Ik heb het boek een tijdje weggelegd en werd toch weer erg nieuwsgierig naar hoe het verder zou gaan!Hoe verder ik kwam met lezen hoe meer het mij begon te boeien, het ...
The Trials Of Sapna Sinha (2013)
language
English
3.31 of 5 Votes: 4
review 1: Tästä pidin. Kirja ei yrittänyt esittää mitään muuta kuin oli - kevyt, ehkä pinnallinenkin, suuretkin murheet huumorilla kuittaava. Tässä käsitellään rasismia, huumeita, lahjontaa, korruptiota, pakkoavioliittoja, itsemurhia, perheväkivaltaa, syyllistämistä, petkutusta. Ihmeesti k...
A Herdeira Acidental (2013)

English

review 1: This followed a very similar structure to Q&A but somehow didn't quite achieve the same result. Whereas Q&A was a series of parables (like The Alchemist) this was a series of increasingly unbelievable stories. I guess we have to allow for the Bollywood type of treatment the inevi...
Apprendista per caso (2013)
language
English

review 1: This book had it moments, but not enough of them to make it worthwhile. The writing, at times, was good, but I assumed that if one offered an inexperienced girl the chance to be a CEO after passing several tests, that this would be a fairy tale. The plot then starts at ridiculous...
Pour quelques milliards et une roupie (2013)

review 1: A decade ago I pulled a book ("Q&A") off the new releases shelf at the library. It was by an author with an unpronounceable name and I was surprised out how quickly I jumped into the foreign book and rushed through the exciting, well-thought out story. A few years later we rented...

review 1: Where do I start? What a tiring book ! I can't believe this is the same person who wrote Slumdog Millionaire (then again, I haven't read that book so there's a chance I might dislike it as well)...The style, OH MY GOD the style ! It's absolutely baffling how this book is destined...
Meurtre Dans Un Jardin Indien (2008)

review 1: Six Suspects is more of a drama than a mystery. And therein lies it's undoing. Six different stories with their respective twists and turns converge at a point where they merge only to have different threads hanging out.Some of the stories are so long drawn, it is unpalatable. Th...
