具体描述
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。 ...
评分这是我看的第一本英文原著。 不是很厚，但很吸引人，全书一直采用了倒叙的手法。 合上书，脑子中就有一个字：善！ 男主人公的各种经历，让我觉得他是个很善良的孩子，正是因为他的善，上帝才会眷顾他，听起来这一串串的故事，像是许多人的锦集，很难想象这些全部都发身在一个贫...
评分今晚我对印度的看法又一次被颠覆，我读了《平民窟里的百万富翁》这部印度本土作者写的小说。主人公是一个生活在印度底层的贫民，人生经历很凄惨，一出生就被抛弃，被领养，养母跟人私奔，被养父抛弃，被教堂神父领养，好日子没几年，神父死亡，终于长大成人，邻居一家的男主人...
评分第一眼看到这本书的时候，便被深深的吸引住，脑海中的记忆也随之扑面而来——高一老师极力推荐的一部电影，我不厌其烦看了两遍、记忆尤深的电影，被评为作为成熟男人不得不看的电影！ 没看过由这部小说改编的电影的人是绝对不知道个中缘由的。对于获得8项奥斯卡...
