Nyfiken på: Slumdog Millionaire

Handling
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.

Varför jag vill läsa den
När jag gick i skolan så såg vi denna film och jag tyckte att den var jättebra. Ändå sedan dess har jag velat läsa boken som den är baserad på, men jag har inte kommit mig för än. Känns lite ovanligt också att läsa en bok där man först sett filmen, annars brukar jag föredra att göra tvärtom.
