My review
rating: 3 of 5 stars
A fantastic begining to a new genre of writing in India in the Englsh language. Till date story telling revolved around mostly post or pre independence stories or raising social issues like women's rights, equality, education, discrimination et al...here we have something that's new, contemporary and popular.
Its an engaging story of a young adult living on the streets who wins a quiz based on the same lines as the popular Kaun banega Crorepati and wins a crore. The officials suspect foul play and the entire narrative drives around how he succedded in a quiz. While the story telling is light and easy for non-serious readers, serious readers can celebrate the birth of the new breed of story tellers.

hello, i hope you don't mind me pointing out it would be much better if you used the Indian and UK edition of Q&A your blog so that it is more recognisable. i think this is the US cover (and originally the Dutch cover!).
In any case, when the film comes out around 8 Jan, there will be a film tie-in edition available, so perhaps you cd use that.
