Five point some one- Chetan Bhagat
As reviewed by the devil
This one of the good books that I have read in recent times. It is about 3 Boys of IIT who start thinking differently and accept shortcut to success.
For those who havent read it and are wondering what 5 point means.. it is simply explained as average scorers. This is a story of 3 Average scorers Who try and think out of the box (Rather out think the systems).
As correctly said by author this is not a guide to succeed or to get into IIT but simply an Indicator of how wrong things can go if you dont think straight...
I find characters quite funny but they indicate real life situations for some students.The fact that it is narrated like a biography makes me wonder if this is a real story may be not the author but some friend of his....
Any ways its quite amusing to find that author has put it thoughts of average hostelite, how lives how he spends his days, His room condition etc. every thing is beautifully put together.
The fact that the author himself is an IITian makes him even more qualified to write abot the life of IITians.
Myself though not an IITian but still a B E Student, know how hard engineering can get. it is simply not easy to survive the rat race.
This book expresses the sentiments of an average grader.
Now I am not going to reveal the Story because simply each book has its own beauty as to how it is written and it simply isnt fair to give away the stories. Read it. Its unputdownable (whatever that means!) I completed the book in around 3-4 hours( its around 300 pages)
I give it 3/5
