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.

讀後感
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...
評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...
評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...
評分作者构思精巧，对叙事有很高的掌握能力，各种时间线的故事交错进行却丝毫不乱，语言风趣幽默，不乏辛辣，从一个传奇故事反映印度底层人民的生活艰辛与挣扎，折射出印度社会宗教、政治等诸多问题，但如果仅仅是这样也不过是值四星，最让我震撼的是结局，虽然知道律师是男主曾经...
評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...
