This lively picaresque novel has an original and telling premise... a colourful portrait of Indian society is painted with remarkable lightness and wit

A hugely successful mixture of satire and intrigue
- Independent on Sunday

Swarup is an accomplished storyteller
- Daily Mail

An engaging and surprisingly informative read
- Telegraph

This novel is part homage to the larger-than-life Bollywood film industry, and the characters and story are so engaging that you really have to read on to find out how it all comes together in the end
- Derby Evening Telegraph

One of the most delightful reads i've enjoyed in years
- Shashi Tharoor

Q&A is popular fiction at its best and brightest. The prose is efficient and the characters are briskly drawn in strong, sharp colours. Swarup clearly understands his job. As an exercise in genre, the novel is a triumph and that was before the movie-makers got to work
