This book is as good as Five Point Someone, if not better. I shouldn’t be comparing for it has little similarity, except some IIT campus incidents (which are incidentally much exciting than those in Five Point...).
The author is a new one, and I have never heard of him before, but the story is simply absorbing. I read a lot, and I can unequivocally say that I have never read such an interesting book by an Indian writer before. Yes, he cannot be compared with John Grisham or Jeffry Archer but certainly better than any of the present Indian writers who have made it big.
Though this book has some shades of ’The Inscrutible Americans’ towards the end, the subject is totally new. The interview scene (well, this book is as if like a Bollywood movie) that it begins with is so funny and so realistic that I read and re-read it several times. I am sure every young person who has faced an interview will love this one.
There are some emotional patches, besides fabulous humour and that makes it more readable. This book must be read by all.
