This is the book that "Slumdog Millionaire" was based on. And pretty loosely based too. The movie takes the concept of the gameshow and shows how Ram, the main character, has arrived at the point of being able to answer a set of increasingly obscure questions, despite his being an uneducated tea wallah. The actual questions and experiences related to the answering of those questions differ hugely between the book and the movie and so consequently, even if you've watched the film, the book is fresh and never, never dull. An excellent read.
