Q&A by Vikas Swarup

The inspiation for the acadamy award winning movie slumdog millionaire, this book is about a orphan boy named Ram Mohammed who lives up in the slums of poor india and as an eighteen year old goes on the show who wants to be a billionaire, and wins. Because at the time he is a waiter in a low class restaurant, people suspect him of cheating somehow and arrest him. In his defense, a lawyer is given to him and a story goes behind every question. From living under a priest, to a famous actress and a killer. Also he has experences such as almost being killed on a train and a bus, and loosing all his earnings on a train, to bartending and hearing some crazy stories. All in all, every question has a story in which it is an explanation for the correct answer. Along the way, he becomes best friends with a boy named Salim, and falls in love. Overall, I would certainly recommend this to anyone. It can relate to everyone in some way even though you and him live different lives. Thus, Q&A is a great story and inspiration to all.
