Just was flipping by my books @ road side bookseller. My my ...tell you what a must one for a mushy mushy love Some good points about the book - Very good writing skills, keeps the reader captive (Ok, not the prison-type-captive, but at least house-arrest-type-captive). Vivid descriptions of the weather, beautifully written. Description of the love-interest of the writer makes one fall in love with her" You cannot help but smile as reading this book. It is one such book where everyone will find some shades of himself.
What I felt bad in this one: Why does this have to be “an IITian’s love story”? I know IIT is a huge huge brand, but does it mean that it has to be in the title. IIT has no significance as such in the whole novel. Keeping IIT in the title seems to be nothing but a marketing gimmick. Too many co-incidences result in indigestion. One co-incidence is ok, two. I could live with, three, difficult to digest but I have strong stomach, but here the whole book was hinged on co-incidences. Resulting in a severe bout of burps & hiccups. The premise was very real, very believable; but the events that unfold.
Let me put this mildly, were a bit out of this world.
