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 the award winning movie "Slumdog Millionaire" and I'm outraged that they've stolen "Q&A" and reproduced it (poorly). I quickly Googled to learn that Academy Award winner was based on the book. Fast forward to this week where I again pull a book by Swarup off the new releases section and am transported into an Indian that blows away "Beyond the Beautiful Forevers" as a boring slog and makes Hollywood look lazy for not thinking up such original plots. The author is 2/2 in my opinion, writing an exce... morellent story that carries the main character through a series of test designed to see if she has the ability to become CEO of a large corporation. The twists and turns are delightful and often unexpected.
review 2: Very much like Q&A. Sapna, employed in a large electronics store is approached by Mr. Acharya who offers her the CEO position of his mult-million $ company if she passes 7 tests. After her sister's suicide and their eviction from their home, she decides to accept.The tests involve life challenges that she encounters day to day: an illegal child sweat shop, a forced marriage, etc.She is then framed for Acharya's murder and it turns out to be Karan, someone whom she loved (he told her he was gay), and now finds out was her sister, Akla's, boyfriend.She's exonerated and when offered the CEO position by Acharya's brother, who has turned his life around, turns it down.OK- falls flat, really. less
