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.

读后感
2011年7月18日，读完了（印度）维卡斯·斯瓦鲁普的《贫民窟的百万富翁》，共23万字。 这是一部近年来难得的优秀小说，更是一部让人翻开便欲罢不能的故事。虽然由小说改编的电影引起了一时轰动，但小说所叙述的内容丰富，并且在一定程度上更加黑暗、更加深刻...
评分于海生的翻译非常棒，让我这种没有阅读英文原著能力的读者真实的体会到拉姆的情感，那种被困麻氓手下时的彷徨无助，那种和尼塔在泰姬陵欣赏月色时爆棚的幸福感，还有抱着祥哥儿走进宴会厅的决绝和绝望等等不胜枚举。 一本小说，十三个衔接紧密又各成文章的小故事...
评分“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...
用户评价
电影比小说好看
评分记不清读中文版时候的感受了，但是原著每一个故事都让我颤栗。每一个问题都是揭露了血淋淋的社会问题：性别歧视，职业乞丐，间谍活动，暴力犯罪…一个18岁少年因为背负的东西太沉重，面对的社会太绝望，让他活的小心翼翼，不敢期许未来。阅读起来酣畅淋漓，故事惊险有趣，每个故事既独立又有所联系，适合我们这种上班累一天读完了一章就睡星人。
评分第一本读完的英文小说，最后解谜的部分很有意思～
评分印度社会万花筒，好有意思！词汇4/5 句型3/5 兴趣1/5，轻松易读。学生高二上。
评分结局太治愈了。
