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.

評分“所有的問題正好都是我會的” 托马斯 的生活經歷讓他在十憶的節目中答對了所有的問題，卻因節目的主辦方拿不出那麼多的錢那誣陷他作弊，而被警察抓了。但又因為自己曾經幫助過的人獲救了。 “干吗把你的幸运币丢掉？” “我不再需要它了。因为运气源自内心。” 其實根本沒有所...
評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...
