I wasn't sure if I'd like this book because I've already seen the movie, but I was glad to see that the book is an entirely different story. The premise is the same - a young man wins a quiz show and the producers arrest him on suspicion of cheating, but his life experiences help him answer the questions - but most of the questions (and the experiences that go with them) are completely different than the ones in the film, with a different cast of characters.
