the plot is interesting/good enough but the writing oh god so fkn jarring at times and I don't like the main character/narrator so
also the film was better, ofc it changed upon a lot of things so idk what kind of an adaptation that would be but it's the *one* time I've found a film better than the book so yk

Honestly, I would say that this is one of best works of Chetan Bhagat. This book was very ahead of its times as it talks about the cons of the Indian Education System. The story is grounded, and you can actually imagine the struggles of being average where generally toppers are found.
One thing I didn't like though was that the author actually involved himself in the beginning of the book. I thought it was only in half girlfriend, but I saw the exact same thing in the three mistakes of my life as well. So a bit down because of that, and I thought that the book actually did not clear the suspense about why Ryan's relationship with his parents was like that and there should have been a chapter reflecting it. Also, Ryan kinda takes it cool when Hari writes to his parents, and I didn't get it. The book also does not specify whether the lube project got what it was being expected of. These are my only complains but otherwise, the book is worth a read. The characters are well defined, the story well thought of and the approch of the book is really good. I will highly recommend this book.

the writing is barebone at best and really juvenile, the narrator has this insufferable incel attitude and the other characters are all single faceted stereotypes.
