Q and A by: Vikas Swarup
After seeing the movie, Slumdog Millionaire, I decided to read the book that inspired it. Q and A is definitely adult fiction, and has a great plot and is unique. But, I have to say I enjoyed the movie better. I give this book 3 out of 5 stars.

Misery by: Stephen King
Very creepy, yet very good! From the very beginning, when author Paul Sheldon is injured in a car wreck and finds out he is being help captive by the insane, scary Annie Wilkes, to the end where it ends with a theme from the beginning.
A great read that deserves a 4.5 out of 5 stars.

The Secret Garden by: Frances Hodgson Burnett
This supposed "classic" baffled me! The characters, in my opinion, were not believable. They acted opposite of what you'd suspect by their descriptions. Also, the story line was pretty drab. Okay, you found a garden: Big whoop. But, what truly disappointed me the most was how dull the story in general was. It never seemed to get exciting.
So, my rating for the drabbest read of the century is a 1 and a half out of 5 stars.
