Five Point Someone: What Not to Do at IIT
by Chetan Bhagat
What not to do at IIT? Read this book.
This book is an insult to the English language and our collective intelligence as a human race. Not only does it contain some of the most absurd plot points, the language is unbearably bad. Chetan Bhagat needs to take English lessons.
It's astonishing how removed the author is from the reality of college life, despite being from IITs himself. This book couldn't be far from the experience of any college student, much less an IITian. It seems the author fantasized about living such a lifestyle while he was a student. Maybe it was a fever dream. So he wrote a book.
This book is tailor made to be picked up for a bollywood "masala" adaptation. 3 Idiots is a phenomenal movie and disgraces this book by far. The movie is not only a brilliant social commentary but also a phenomenal piece of entertainment. The book fails on both fronts. I don't think it even set out to be the first.
