slumdog millionaire

Slumdog Millionaire by Vikas Swarup is a great book.  I really wasn't that interested in seeing the movie even after it won the academy award but now after reading the book I am dying to see the movie adaptation.  The story is about a boy or young man who has lived somewhat on the streets all his life.  He gets on a game show and wins, but the powers that be didn't want that to happen and have him arrested for cheating.  At the police station he tells his lawyer how he came to know the answer to all the questions.  It is such a wonderfully  told story that when you read it you will want to read it again.  This young man has led such a rough life but it lead him to where he is now.  The book is so full of interesting twists and turns it is amazing.  While I was reading each account of how he managed to answer the questions i was trying to figure out what the question will be on the game show.  Wonderful story told beautifully, i highly recommend it.
