Five Point Someone....

I never thought i would be writing book reviews in this blog, but i read this really nice book....and since i cant think of anything else to write about, well here goes...
There is a book called Five Point Someone byChetan Bhagat. It has been quite a hit and it has received a wide range of reviews ranging right across the spectrum. Some people say it is a lovely book that gives people an insiders view as to what really goes on inside IIT, others fill its a highly lopsided and wrong version about life in India's most prestitgious engineering institute....
What do i feel....as a book about IIT, it fails....definately. It gives a highly biased and onesided view and is definately not something to be used as a guide to what you can accept inside IIT....
However, as a book about life....relationships....friends....its a BIG success. You will definately be able to associate yourself with atleast one of the people in the story, and well...u ll have a good time reading it...
All i am saying is people...give it a read....its damn good....just dont expect to get much knowledge about iit....about life....thats a different story....
Another book of Chetan Bhagat's has been released....One Night At The Call Centre....I ll read it and let u know....
Anyways...have fun...and enjoy the leave

U know wat..
I think that book sucks.It sucks Big time...
wat picture does it give about friendship.. nothing.
It like some stupid masala story..

Only thing I found worth pondering was " why dint IIT produce any innovations ... atleat not big ones .."
