The 4th book I have read in the school holidays is " Slumdog millionaire". The book is about how an indian boy from the slums, Ram Mohammad Thomas enters a game show and won 1ooo,ooo,ooo rupees even though he did not had any education before. He was then suspected for cheating in the game show.
The story starts off with him getting arrested for winning the game show and being tortured to make him " confess" what he has done. Later, a lawyer called Smita came to bail him out and wants to help him. The story then starts when Smita plays the video of him in the game show answering a question. After that, she would pause it and Ram mohammad Thomas would tell her a part of his life that made him know the answer to the questions.
I find this story very interesting as Ram had experienced many things despite being boy from the slums. The story's structure is also a refreshing change as it jumps from different part of his life.
