Slumdog Millionaire

Q and A | Vikas Swarup

1. I prefer hardcover when possible, but trade paperbacks are great too
2. According to my storygraph stats, 25% nonfiction, 75% fiction 🙂
3. I enjoy historical fiction, but science fiction has been my favorite genre since I was a kid
4. More recent, with the occasional classic
5. COFFEE (I'm drinking some right now)
6. Physical, definitely
7. Print. It takes me forever to finish an audio book

Q and A | Vikas Swarup

so-so

It‘s been a few years since I‘ve seen the movie Slumdog Millionaire which was adapted from this book, but this may be one of those rare cases where the movie is better than the book.The main character is a poor waiter who goes through so many horrible things—incest, rape, torture—that end up providing him with answers to win 1 billion rupees on a game show.Even though it ends happily it was still difficult to read so I can see why much was changed

sarahbellum I‘m currently reading this and have about 100 pages to go. I feel the same way- this poor kid! 2y

Karisa I remember seeing Slumdog Millionaire with friends when it came out and loving it. One of the friends who had read the book said the same thing at that time. Sometimes the movie is better! (I think Crazy Rich Asians is better as a movie too. 😶😬🤣) 2y

Blueberry I LOVE this book. And it helped me understand the movie which I saw first. 2y

Do you read to turn your mind off or to turn your mind on? Or both? Discuss.

Magpiegem To turn my mind off of other things, especially at night. But when I flew internationally I would read to keep my. Brain alert on long quiet night flights 2y

suvata @Magpiegem that makes sense. I think I usually read to turn my mind off. Novels tend to do that. Non-fiction tends to turn my mind on. But there are always exceptions to the rule. 2y

wanderinglynn For me, it depends on the book & my purpose for reading. 2y

julesG Both! Or rather, even if I read to turn my mind off, my mind switches on and then starts picking the plot/writing/accuracy/consistency/... apart. 2y

Soubhiville I hadn‘t ever thought of it in quite this way. I read to entertain myself sometimes, to quiet thoughts of the day before bed (I guess that could be turning off), and to fill myself up and educate, which I suppose could be turning on. Interesting question. 2y

TheAromaofBooks I do both, but I definitely trend more towards off!! I do enjoy nonfiction and learning things, but especially if life is busy or stressful, I head for fluff or some suspense!! 2y

suvata Obviously, there are no correct answers. I just heard someone pose that question and thought it was interesting. Just something to ponder. Loved all your perspectives. 2y

Smrloomis Hmm I think I read to focus my mind - either for fun or to add something to it. If I don‘t, there‘s constant chatter going on up there 🤨😂 2y

Deblovestoread I read to unwind or escape (off) mostly, but also read to learn and grow (on). On/off depends on the book in my hands. 2y

kspenmoll I read to escape( mysteries) but I also read to immerse myself in others‘ perspectives, learn about the world, history, science, biography, spirituality etc etc!!!! Learn & grow. 2y

suvata @kspenmoll Me too. I love learning about other cultures and traditions. 2y

This is the book that Slumdog Millionaire is based on. I haven't seen the movie, and I'm pretty sure the version of the book I read (audiobook) was heavily abridged, but I liked it. I really enjoyed the 'twist' but thought more could have been done with it. I'm eager to read the paperback (or watch the movie) to see whether it's the same.

TrishB @Itchyfeetreader that‘s why it‘s difficult as I‘m working with partners round the world- as someone finishes, someone else gets going! Definitely need a better routine. 4y

This was a uniquely formatted book. The winning contestant on a quiz show is arrested for cheating and he explains how he managed to answer the questions by relating different scenes of his life. The glimpses of extreme poverty and the powerlessness accompanying it will take your breath away. I have watched the movie but did not find them all that similar (from what I remember of the movie, anyways).

#timbittunes #startedfromthebottom made me think of my favorite ‘rags to riches‘ tale. Set in India, it‘s a story of a young man who becomes the biggest quiz show winner in history, only to be sent to jail on accusations that he cheated. We see flashbacks of his life explaining to the police how he knew the answers to the questions.
A story of destiny, luck, and determination.
Also one of the few times a movie adaptation gets it right!

Ram Mohammed Thomas is arrested for winning a quiz show. For how could a poor, uneducated boy like him possibly know the answers to all those difficult questions? Because he got wise living in the slums of India. And because he kept having faith in other people and kept listening to their stories. A lovely story of hope and destiny.

~ ⭐️⭐️⭐️ .5 ~ Slumdog Millionaire was highly entertaining. Ram‘s stories were full of drama, escapes, love interest, brutality, poverty, cleverness and street smarts. Ram treated others with compassion and kindness. The level of poverty struck me; the marginalized are often disregarded. I gained a different perspective. Through Ram‘s voice, India came to life for me. And yet, for most of the story, I felt ambivalent.

2017 #3 Novel (India) Audio This was the basis for the movie Slumdog Millionaire and it is obvious from the start that, like Richard Matteson's I am Legend, that the book and movie adaptations are similar only in the plot ideas. I think both are wonderful in their own right. brilliantly read and interesting in its own right.
