MILLLIONAIRE directed by Danny Boyle 'An absorbing and richly
entertaining read' Times Former tiffinboy Ram Mohammad Thomas has
just got twelve questions correct on a TV quiz-show to win a cool
one billion rupees. But he is brutally slung in prison on suspicion
of cheating. Because how can a kid from the slums know who
Shakespeare was, unless he is cheating? In the order of the
questions on the show, Ram tells us which incredible adventures in
his life on the streets gave him the answers. From orphanages to
brothels, gangsters to beggar-masters, and into the homes of
Bollywood's rich and famous, Ram's story is brimming with the
chaotic comedy, heart-stopping tragedy and joyousness of modern
India. 'Popular fiction at its best and brightest' Guardian
