I really liked this novel and am looking forward to checking out the movie adaptation - Slumdog Millionaire. This was part of my quest to read lots of books on India so we could have book club at an Indian restaurant. I thought it was a little rough for the more sensitive of the book club (life on the Mumbai streets isn't easy), so I kept going. However this is nowhere near as graphic as Kite Runner or Thousand Splendid Suns, so maybe we still could do it for book club (Maybe if it wins an Oscar:)
I like how the story is told through flashbacks at each trivia question in the "Who wants to be a millionaire" type game. It's fascinating how the twists and turns in his life led him to know all the answers.
