Having first seen the movie "Slumdog Millionaire", about a teenager from the slums of Mumbai who is a contestant on the TV game show "Who wants to be a millionaire" and is winning. But how does he do it? Is he cheating, is he very smart, or is it destiny? The movie won many awards including the Oscar for Best Picture, so I read the book, hoping it was a satisfying read. This book was phenomenal; far-exceeding my expectations, and a fast paced, page-turning story. The book is as good as the movie, but in my opinion, the book's ending is much better and very satisfying. A must read! 5 stars
