Hey! Did you see that movie Slumdog Millionaire?  Yeah!  That movie is based on this novel.  The premise is the same (18 year old waiter from Mumbai is accused of cheating), but that is where the similarities end.  Slumdog Millionaire made for great cinema, but Q&A is far more literary and less linear than the movie.  I enjoyed reading this book, but the author’s focus on luck and how everything always comes together so perfectly for the main character was over the top at times.  But considering that is his main thesis of this book, I guess that’s what he was going for in the end.  Not to sound like the quote on the back of a book, but Q&A is both funny and heartbreaking.  So that’s that.
