YES, I know it might have come across as a major surprise to all those who know me, I did infact read this book. I read it all. And I took some time out and did not post the review. But now it's here.
Major Spoilers ahead.
(As I have ranted the whole story basically. I NEEDED some kind of therapeutical venting after I lost so many of my brain cells reading this.)
I had absolutely no plans of reading another clichéd novel with bad writing and predictable plot and annoying characters. But one of my friends with a fairly good taste in books said "This book was great." Along with some pleasantries about how the protagonist was so romantic by what he did in the end.
Obviously I was flummoxed as to what came over her for to think that. And as …show more content…
G-R-E-A-T.
The last Chetan Bhagat novel I read was 2 States- I think that one was OKAY compared to all the rest. AS a writer myself I know how much efforts and blood and sweat and time is needed to write a book. And I wouldn't just criticize a book if I just read the name of the author. But since I have read 5 Point Someone, 2 States, One Night at ethe Call Centre, 3 mistakes of my life. I get a fair idea about the writing, the ccharacters and whether it suited my taste.
So ofcourse, I wasn't planning on picking any of his book, ever again. But I took one for the team. And read it for my friend who said it was great …show more content…
And Madhav running into Riya again in 2 years. She is divorced and hence available. And Madhav is as horny as ever.
She teaches him English by making him read Chetan Bhagat novel. Okaaaay.
And he leaves him there with a Dear John note that went like - I'm paraphrasing, hey I'm dying of cancer. In 3 months. Sorry about not reciprocating your feelings. But now I love you. Okay? Dont try to find me. Marry someone and all. Cool? Ok bye now.
So then like the crazy stalker he is, he goes after her. I mean at least respect the dying girl's wish. But NO.
So he goes back to her place. Tries to find her. Using his "Royal" connections to make bank managers give him her bank details. Inquire in her work. Go to her house. He does not find her.
Then he receives these mysterious journals of Riya where she basically provides with all the backstory because the the writer was too lazy to develop the plot. And oh hey (view spoiler)
Now he is overwhelmed and calls her a bitch. To which Chetan Bhagat asks him to mind his language. Waaow.
Let me just mention- Chetan Bhagat chapters are from the first person pov and so is Madhav's. And they just happen anywhere and you're like wait who's head are we in? Neither place is nice to be in. But weirdly, I'll take CB's POV over
