'Tender and tragic, set against the turbulent backdrop of wartime Britain'
This is my absolute favourite book, so I'm likely to be biased. The characters feel like real people, and their experiences and thoughts feel as palpable as your own. Let this book sweep you through love and heartbreak, enveloped by war-torn 40s London. The unusual plot layout of this book (moving backwards through time, starting at the end and finishing at the start) may be confusing at the first read, but provides dramatic irony which is integral to the book's brilliance.

Slightly over dramatised
The original story behind Srinivasa Ramanujan is remarkable enough without resorting to such theatrics. These films, as much as they are historically important especially for those with a similar background, tend to be slightly over the top. Ramanujan is one of the most significant mathematicians of our time, even more extraordinary is that he achieved success as a fellow at Cambridge despite being an Indian during wartime. Dev Patel hasn't quite reached his peak acting phase in this film, not like he did in Lion. He seemed to be a replica of his role in Slumdog Millionaire, a weepy, mopey kind of character. It's a vital film, but they could have done it better.
