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.

評分这是目前为止我读过最棒的小说，读每个故事都像坐了一遍过山车，刺激疯狂着迷，结局更会让人意想不到，十分具有反转魅力。 现代的人们更讲求知识等于财富，这并不假但不够全面。这部小说以印度为背景生动地刻画了印度贫民窟底层人们的生活及遭遇。正是生活在这...
評分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...
