Slumdog Millionaire (↑)

I have finished a book, finally! And I have finished my 3rd year of university so I have a lot of time on my hands, so I should be writing more blogs more often! Anyway, the book I have finished reading is called Slumdog Millionaire. It's the book that the movie is based off of. It's a really good book, and brings to light the horrible plight of poverty-stricken people. I'm not really sure in what era this book was set, but if it's in this day and age, I am shocked to learn that there are still people living in horrible little slums, with no running water, and no electricity. It also makes me sad that the poor are persecuted so easily in that country, and that religion plays such an important part in making decisions of who you can be friends with and who you can't be friends with. I guess in some areas of the world, they are still "backwards". Hopefully someday that will be rectified.

Until next time, happy reading!
