Movie Rating

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.

Wow- I wasn't expecting that

What a brilliant story! I bought this book on Monday and by Wednesday evening I was sad, that it ended.
The story takes place in Cambridge University. There's been way too many suicides in one year for it to go unnoticed. DC Flint goes in undercover to investigate but due to her troubled past becomes the perfect victim herself.
Very gripping, kept me on edge from the beginning till the end.
How have I never come across Sharon Bolton before, I don't know. Need to get hold of 'Now you see me'- a bit backward, I know, but what can I do :-)
