Did you know that the movie was based on the book [originally released as] Q & A, by Vikas Swarup? I saw it in my local Library's catalog and I just finished it. I haven't seen the movie, but I thought the book was superb. It's rich with tragedy and told modestly in first person.

I'm also want to watch the movie but I don't know that it has a book. I'm intrigued why this movie won so many oscars award. Sometimes this kind of movie here in the Philippines is not appreciate by Filipinos I think we are not ready for this kind of movie. For me I like the movie which has a good story to tell. This story is awakening for those who don't experience hardships in life.

Oh..i didnt know that it's from the book. Just watched it recently. That movie is quite meaningful, revealing kind of society's perspective on poor people.
