Just found out that 3 Idiots was adapted from this very book in the middle of my reading.
I was an engineering student and reading this book made me miss my college years more than ever. The chaotic class schedule, screwed almost all exams, near-death experience, and all those crazy friends. However, the ending is not as smooth as I expected and there is no plot being told other than just a diary. A quite good read though.

Literally read because it was in my course, i didn't like it and will never recommend anyone to read it, the last part, just few lines touched me since I'm in my last year qnd surely going to miss my friends that's it. And one thing for sure, i didnt like the way of writing and the way he wrote few things.
Also the story was dumb, like Ryan, no i didn't like the character and his thinking. It was weird tbh

It's very similar to 3 idiots or nanban movie that's why it was predictable and that doesn't mean it's bad. I know the movies are based on this book but still...and the language was simple and easy which i wasn't that used to. But still i liked it.
the author has written the book in a very interesting language. i think the book should be preferred to adults.

Five-Point Someone. This is a great book. It talks about the college life of 3 boys. The first novel of Chetan Bhagat
Great for beginners, subtle story, gets a bit boring as you move forward...
Rating- 4/5

At the age I read it, mainstream bollywood was not something I loathed. So it was okay to handle because it felt like it was written to be a script of a Bollywood movie and not a literature piece. The initial part of character formation was a good start, but it soon lost any form of detailing of the stories.
Well another book and that too the first one which got so many mistakes and what happened to error proofing or something i mean since when you have the dollar in Europe and i really get confused about the timing in this book...third year starts and suddenly indem class goes on and the "pendulum" operation and boom one sem suspension and next thing u know that they are in last sem!! If they start 3rd year and finish a sem and got suspend in another you should be in the beginning of fourth year first sem, not last. Any way may be i am confused and not to mention too much spelling mistakes, May be typo error.
I can see that how the author has improved, i was first introduced to his first book via a road side vendor and well at that time i dint had the money and by the time i got the book was sold, and moreover that bloody vendor told it was about how to pass exams and get in to good career kind a book which was a lie. I got to know when i finally b
ought the books years ago and well i dint care because i never trust anyone else review apart from my own :P.
so coming back to C.B, the first book i read by him was 2 states and well i was quite attracted by his story telling and adding to it the book was a semi autobiography, well he has a good instincts and knows how to attract young people "SEX" almost all his book i read till now apart from non-fiction "WHAT YOUNG INDIA WANTS" almost all involve "SEX", i mean come on in India it is very bad to even to talk about sex and let alone write it?.
but i would like to inform you that "SEX" was all over the place, be it in temples, say literature even in the religions (Onions make you arouse sexual feelings).when we came towards literature many of the old and new and mid aged books by various authors consist sex theme but in a more understandable and hidden way only we adult young can understand. But in English? i believe only R.K.N had bought it up in his English novel 'The Guide' but again in a more not so sexy way.
But here you go with modern English writing and its influence over us the book with a little spice becomes very much hit and so the same happens with all his books. Not that i am telling it that only the "SEX" in his books matter, but to consider it adds to the praise. I dint see it quite interesting, but apart from movie which is a 100% pure gold fiction the book makes more sense. but its little absurd to not let you confuse over some matters, say the nine stories fall from the insti building and survive, about how one gets in to have sex with prof. daughter in his very own house just few meters from his office (not to mention he is your HOD).
Ufff i am really getting tired by writing all this. Any way it was a wonderful experience and well had a good laugh most of the way but in the end i can say it is a nice story but as mentioned in his second book it’s kind of Okay stuff...not bad for an amateur try.
