Doomsday Morning by C.L. Moore, Review by Kalani

This is slated as a classic scifi, but it isn't really scifi at all. It's not post apocalyptic, it's set in an imperfect utopia. Most of it is really slow and then suddenly it's action-packed with car chases and helicopters. It's really about a dysfunctional theatre group that can't do their job.

Rated: 3/5 Suspicious soundtracks.

Slumdog Millionaire by ..., Review by Caitlyn

This was an intense read. It's about Ram...Thomas. Basically he went on this show 'Who Want to be a Millionaire' and no one expected him to win, but he does. He answers all twelve questions. People assume he cheated and he gets arrested for questioning. He ends up getting a lawyer and the book explores how he got each question right. Note to reader: In can be a bit confusing because it isn't in chronological order.

Rated: 5/5 Religions. "It's a bit weird, but it's interesting."
