Vikas Swarup's spectacular debut novel opens in a jail cell in Mumbai, India, where Ram Mohammad Thomas is being held after correctly answering all twelve questions on India's biggest quiz show, "Who Will Win a Billion?" It is hard to believe that a poor orphan who has never read a newspaper or gone to school could win such a contest. But through a series of exhilarating tales Ram explains to his lawyer how episodes in his life gave him the answer to each question.Ram takes us on an amazing review of his own history -- from the day he was found as a baby in the clothes donation box of a Delhi church to his employment by a faded Bollywood star to his adventure with a security-crazed Australian army colonel to his career as an overly creative tour guide at the Taj Mahal.Swarup's "Q and A" is a beguiling blend of high comedy, drama, and romance that reveals how we know what we know -- not just about trivia, but about life itself. Cutting across humanity in all its squalor and glory, Vikas Swarup presents a kaleidoscopic vision of the struggle between good and evil -- and what happens when one boy has no other choice in life but to survive.

评分2009年，电影《贫民窟的百万富翁》一匹黑马杀进奥斯卡，一口气截获十座小金人，果不其然，电影很精彩，我自己就看了不下十遍。这更让我对原作充满期待，一是希望文字能带来与电影匹配而别样的精彩，二是希望就此更多的了解一个神奇的国度—印度。读罢此书，我并没有失望。 ...
评分通常由小说改编的电影都不会太好看，但这部片子是个例外，在2者全部看过后我甚至更喜欢电影中的男主角~但并不意味着小说不好看！这是部很好的小说，内容也远比电影丰富的多，电影经过改编后很多情节都不一样了。小说中令我印象最深刻的是那句话：当主人公去找公寓管理员，请他...
评分小说比电影的情节要复杂的多，描写到了印度社会的许多阶层和行业，可以说是一部印度社会的万花筒。通过此书我们可以初步了解印度社会的方方面面：贫民窟、黑帮、间谍、士兵、明星、教派、性丑闻、同性恋等等。 而电影就简单多了，限于篇幅，删减了许多情节，甚至主人...
