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.

#shortandsweet 只需要大概一个来小时就可以读完。(缩减版) 但情节引人入胜,根据它改编的电影《贫民窟里的百万富翁》剧情其实很不一样。但得到了精髓,主框架也基本一致。一些对于残疾孩子要饭,泰姬陵旅游等等的描写基本和书里一致。 但书里主角的名字是一个类似于少年pi的名字ram,职业是餐厅服务员,电影里把ram生命中出现过的女性合而为一,创造出来latika这个角色。看完书可以重温一下电影... #shortandsweet 只需要大概一个来小时就可以读完。(缩减版) 但情节引人入胜,根据它改编的电影《贫民窟里的百万富翁》剧情其实很不一样。但得到了精髓,主框架也基本一致。一些对于残疾孩子要饭,泰姬陵旅游等等的描写基本和书里一致。 但书里主角的名字是一个类似于少年pi的名字ram,职业是餐厅服务员,电影里把ram生命中出现过的女性合而为一,创造出来latika这个角色。看完书可以重温一下电影了。 吐槽一下书里的插画,这个类似于谏山创的画风是怎么回事,这浓重的黑眼圈,还有观众席上都是些什么奇行种巨人[Lol] (展开)
