Age Range ATM: 15+ It has quite a bit of violence (so sad) and some sexual stuffs not extremely graphic or anything like that though

Thoughts:
Oh.my.god. This book was amazing! And I'm not just saying that this book really is amazing/lovely/unforgettable yatayata The writing is really good and so is the story and characters. The story is like none I have ever encountered before. It is pretty darn creative and boy did I love it!!
The story is about an Indian boy named Ram Mohammad Thomas, who is an orphan and throughout the book he tells of his many many insane/extremely sad adventures as he explains to a lawyer how he, a poor boy living in the slums, knew all of the answers to the Who Will Win A Billion quiz show (the show is kind of like Who Wants to Be A Millionare). This book has everything- an interesting story line that makes you stay hooked on the book until the very end, great characters that you will feel empathy for, love, and much more. What else do you need to convince you to read this book?
