This book is vastly different from the movie, and in a great way. The filmmakers used the basic premise, that of a poor Indian boy on a quiz show whose life experiences allow him to answer the questions, but drastically changed the characters and experiences. There are some parts of the book that are similar to the story told in the movie, but for the most part they are two very different things using the same general plot idea. Therefore, reading the book is not at all the typical experience of feeling like you know most everything already from watching the movie and are only getting a few new details. Instead, reading the book after seeing the movie is still fully enjoyable and fresh, and I would assume that's true in the reverse as well.
