I've just completed reading (all in one sitting, as usual) this very interesting book by Vikas Swarup. Originally published in 2005 as Q&A, the book was adapted into a movie. Go ahead and read this book. Like me, you'll probably won't put the book down except for those mandatory toilet break(s).I haven't seen the movie, which, unless you are not from this planet, you would know that has won 8 Academy awards, 7 BAFTA awards (the British equivalent of Academy award) and 4 Golden Globe awards. These include best picture for Academy, best film for BAFTA and best picture - drama for Golden Globe. And the movie almost ended up to be released directly on DVD instead general theatrical release. Simply amazing.
I haven't watched this movie because when it came out initially earlier this year in Malaysia, for whatever reason, it was only released under the Golden Screen Cinemas International Screens, which are available in the Klang Valley. There are two Golden Screen Cinemas outlets here in KK but there is no International Screen.
Luckily for me, the local Growball Cinema is now showing the movie in KK. They are showing it once a day at 7:30PM and I hope to catch it over the weekend.
