Five Point Someone

i had decided after the realease of three idiots that i have to read this novel and then see the movie.. it was everyones recommendation too.. well..my sis had this novel bought recently and said proudly that she had it finished in one day and was real good.. i had these two or three days of olidays and decided to study that time.. 


was a very small book actually..neatly resented.. simle language.. well the author, chetan bhagat had indeed done a neat job.. the way things were expressed was quite good and had all the ingredients an average teen ager would except and t was like a reflection of every collage student or everyone would be having friends as them.. i dunno how the book would be for the girls brain.. but i read many positive reviews from the girls side too.. though there were only a single girl charachter in the book..and neatly portrayed.. the book has won considerable votes on the girls side too.. the story about three friends and their unusual(actually it was kinda usual and would ve happened to everyone which made the book closer to the reader) life in IIT..well the hostel life kinda reminded me my high school days.. while the ragging ,weed,vodka was my present life.. (no i was not the other two kind and was much like alok in the book).. and i guess this would not be suitable to have it limited to a must read for small portion of the age groups.. every year they make up one semester it feels on our side a bit low that the book is goin to end.. but things just get better.. the title "What not to do in IIT" is quite apt.. and this book points out the other sides of IITs which many may not know quite.. the book talks about love,fear,nerds,mischiefs with friendship as the main ingredient in its cocktail of emotions filled through the pages..the end was quite disappointing but.. it was like the whole expected lot, was getting over in a few paragraphs.. could ve made an elaborate ending.. but maybe thats what makes the book interesting.. and for the author chetan bhagat, of course, this creation doesn show his debutness even a bit..surely worth reading.. a cotton candy which melts soon..
