How to Kidnap the Rich book review

Could a Chai change your life? It depends on who's making it. Please keep reading to find out what book I'm reviewing today. 

Hey, I'm Kyla Denanyoh. Today, we're talking about the book How to Kidnap the Rich. Ruhal Raina wrote this book. The genre of the book is fiction. The theme of the book is suspense literature.

So, I'm going to switch things up. Typically, I tell you a really interesting plot twist or a quote that I love from the book. I will tell you this is the funniest thriller I've ever read. Hilarious!

First, you have Ramesh, an education consultant who trains and helps people. Rudy, who gets help from Ramesh, ends up becoming famous. Ramesh wants to be paid for making him famous, so they end up kidnapping people, and you lose a finger getting it. WHAT? 

The level of detail in the storytelling in this book is so good. I almost felt like I knew Claire. I was like, Claire could be anyone's guardian angel. Ramesh had this fairy godmother and had no idea how that would come into play in his life in the future. 

And it's not no, it is funny. 

You get to hear it from Ramesh's perspective. Ramesh is sarcastic and funny. He narrates the whole story, and it's almost like he's telling it to you from a place of safety, recounting all these things that used to happen, and it's great.

There's the excellent car chase. There's the part where he writes about how he misses his finger, how it was a great finger, and where he talks about the battle of the sirs: hello sir, good day, sir. What do you need, sir? How much do you have, sir? What are you willing to pay, sir? And it reminds me of when you're in the southern states of the US, and someone says, bless your heart. And that's not a compliment. They're saying, like, go off somewhere, jump into a cliff. That's basically what they're saying, but they're just saying nice words. And so the battle of the sirs was hilarious. 

I must mention that the book was funny because this was a tough tale. Ramesh has dealt with many things in his life, from being on the street and selling tea to all the things he heard from his father to trying to move up the ranks and become better. He even tries to fight with Rudy to get paid back for helping him become famous. 

There were a lot of really deep stories, but I thought that hearing them in Ramesh's voice and in that storytelling aspect made you feel like you were reading Ramesh's diary or something.

Would I reread this book? I would because it was hilarious. I would reread it. The cover jumped at me—like, "How to kidnap the rich?" Come on. The book is not reminiscent of Slumdog Millionaire, but it did make me think of the movie because it was a rags-to-riches, how-to-better-yourself, coming-of-age type story. So, for that, it was similar.

Did the title throw you off? How to Kidnap the Rich. There were rich people in the book. There were a couple of kidnappings, but overall, it's a story about how somebody changed their life, missed what they had before their humble beginnings, and struggled not to lose themselves. So, if that sounds compelling to you, go on and pick up this book. 

Until the next book review, Kyla
