Well...not my life...it is Chetan Bhagat's! The namesake book that I had read (and tossed recently) is the third book (or mistake?) he has written. I have nothing against him. I picked up his books as I just wanted to finish those off my list. They are what I call "Throw-away fiction"...you just read and throw ..totally guilt free!
In fact, it is probably the best of his trilogy. Better plot and some ponderous real world themes like religion in politics, cricket mixed in with themes that perhaps grab the eyeballs of people one-third my age. It starts with a lot of promise, but, it fizzles out by the end perhaps due to sheer fatigue or due to a publisher breathing down his neck.
Language has gotten slightly better along with some traces of humour and some interesting turns of phrase.
I would rate it "A Good Attempt"
