false 288644 46 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 & 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. <i>-- from Simonsays.com</i> 1121318 book 2004 Q & A total:2825|5:897|4:1199|3:570|2:131|1:28| 2825 11281 4633 753 288644 0739467042 9780739467046 1907 533 3.99 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1225937144m/288644.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/288644.Q_A 4 9 false Wed Dec 31 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 30 01:38:32 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 31 22:52:38 -0800 2008 more...]]> 6245469 9791112525 7 3 3.99 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1234413678m/6245469.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6245469.Q_A 4 2 false Mon Feb 16 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 11 20:51:31 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 20 08:38:09 -0800 2009 Slumdog Millionaire.
