Slumdog Millionaire [Q & A]

#611
Title: Slumdog Millionaire [Q & A]
Author: Vikas Swarup
Publisher: Scribner
Year: 2000/2008
326 pages

While the background events are grim indeed, this floridly dramatic and coincidental novel is quite superficial. It's a fun narrative despite, or ignoring, the content, as long as one reads it for the entertainment value of those coincidences and not for realism.
