novels - Five Point Someone

Novel - Five Point Someone
Author - Chetan Bhagat

I was about to leave for delhi to celebrate diwali with my family.
A friend of mine suggested me this book.
To be frank, i am not an avid reader. This being a some 300 page novel, i thought of giving it a try. [Moreover the price was even more attractive Rs 95/- only :-) ]

Coming to business, the plot revolves around 3 friends and their college life (masti, exams, friendship, love, hardships, daaru sessions ...).

Plus points: -
1. The major plus point of this novel is that you can relate to some of the incidents in the book.
2. The way the story is woven is very captivating.

Negatives: -
1. At some places it seems that the author got carried away. Some incidents have been exaggerated, which i made me feel that the story is a work of fiction.

Overall a nice effort considering it to be the author's debut effort. After reading the book, i have bought myself another novel by the same author "One night @ call centre". And i will be back with the review of the same.

Ratings - 3 out of 5.
