Summary

 Winner of the Heathrow Travel Product Awards, Best Fiction Travel Read, 2009

Adapted For The Film Slumdog Millionaire.

Eighteen-year-old Ram Mohammad Thomas has been arrested after answering twelve questions correctly on a TV quiz show to win one billion rupees. The producers have accused him of cheating his way to victory. Twelve extraordinary events in street-kid Ram's life - how he was adopted as a foundling orphan by a priest; came to have three names; fooled a professional hit man; even fell in love - give him the crucial answers.

In his warm-hearted tale lies all the comedy, tragedy, joy and pathos of modern India.

I read the book first, then watched the movie. I couldn't believe how they could massacre the book that way in the movie! The book is infinitely superior to the movie, it made me laugh (a little) and cry (more) and want to know more about India and help somehow. It's very well written indeed, I listened late into the night to finish it, I couldn't put it down. Forget about the movie! Read the book instead!

Excellent book, stupid movie

Bearing all the hallmarks of a Dickensian story this towering tale follows a thoughtful and likeable and very human main character through fascinating episodes that show us much about the India in which it is set. Like a Dickens tale it is rich with a wonderful caste of characters and settings that made it an obvious choice for a film and the film was excellent but the book is richer and will stay with me longer. The reader is remarkable and adds a five star performance to the experience . I loved every minute and I’m sure will come back to it , again in the future for the sheer enjoyment of a marvellous story gloriously well read.

A great classic tale
