Well, to put it in one word I thought the book is PATHETIC!
The story is good. A shocker for most of us to get an insight into the happenings at the IIT. I used to think IIT must be a paradise for the brainy lot. But the truth seems to be completely different!! But the book is not at all well written! You cant swear all the time in your book. The book if full of F*** OFFs and more F*** OFFs (all unsensored though). I call it inability to express anger. Take any book from the Potter series. The book is full of heated conversations - Potter vs Molfoy, Potter vs Snape ..... But you may not find a single swear word. Rowling really expresses anger well. Personally I feel expressing anger is one the hardest emotion to express in writing and Chetan Bhagat fails miserably at it!!! |
