I knew definitely that it was not the best book in the world, that too far from my preferred genres: I had been a non fiction and self help lover then. I read it when I was probably twelve. I hated the idea to read it but finally, I heard some news about it being adapted as a film when i read it.
The story is anything idiotic: three friends in the prestigious IIT institute, they all experience the worst of their years as they unfold their problems.
Okay, so the protagonist was the most crankiest, stupid and idiotic person I have ever read in my life. So the whole thing was a snobbish thing for me. The girl who fell in love with him was anything but sane: she's the prof's daughter, so maybe I can understand. But still, a plot so naive and stupid, that too accompanied with a low degree of writing left me rolling on the floor, laughing at the publisher's decision to publish it. The boys broke into the office to leak the papers so that they could get some extra points for themselves. I mean seriously? They broke into the IIT's office and tried to leak papers like anything. It almost seemed like there was no security around the office. The boys have different motives for stealing the papers: that idiot Hari wants to steal the papers because he wants to impress the Dean so that he can get his daughter's hand and marry her. Alok wants to get through the exam and get good marks. Whereas Ryan just wants to have his set of adventure. I mean, these guys want to end their future literally because they want to get good marks? Who would think that? If it's fiction it doesn't mean you can write any crap.
It isn't fit to be called a book. Chetan Bhagat should consider joining English writing classes. Overall, I think this was the worst read ever. I won't recommend this to anybody. If you're going to read it, please don't read this book. I made a mistake, hope you don't.(less)

The story revolves around three students at IIT Alok, Hari and Ryan. They are thick friends but do not have anything common attributes. Each character is different, have different objectives and strengths and weakness. The story is told mainly by the POV of Hari and it narrates their four years in IIT and how they overcome their weakness and obstacles but still stick together and graduate from IIT...

While reading this book, I learnt one lesson. NEVER EVER watch the movie before reading the book. The movie messed up the book for me. Actually, I did not like the book itself much. I felt the friendship between the three guys a bit girlish. Girls usually talk behind the backs (Hard truth! I don't think I have :P). The only difference is these three guys did not say it outside. They kept it inside while girls usually talk to others about it. I felt so many parts a bit stupid. Maybe because of th...more

Picked it up out of curiosity, as I am myself a B.Tech student from IIT Kanpur, eager to learn how IIT Delhi was similar/different from my college.

Found it okie-dokie, but highly un-impressive. Must say, the writing style of american-teen novels (Agatha Christie/Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew) is much better than Mr.Bhagat's.

Why even the hindi-belt crime thrillers available at north-central India's railway/bus stations are much more lucidly written with a firm plot (like Wardi Wala Gunda etcetra)

Chetan Bhagat's books might have made a tiny-whiny difference to the reading habits of young Indians, as claimed by the entrenched marketers of our country, but has he really made a difference? Is there any empirical research, any numbers to prove this pronouncement? I doubt.

Credit must go to Mr. Bhagat to team up with the publishers to offer 69/-Rs, 59 /-Rs thin English books (hardly 50 pages with font size of 15+), a thin book definitely looks less menacing & more inviting to the non-reading public, folks who get enticed to give it a read to boast among their colleagues about having finally read a book (i.e apart from their regular course books).

Mr. Bhagat’s simple Hinglish narration, easy to understand lines, with no need for any dictionary, where the subjects deal with everyday banters of school-college city life of today's India, all these does appeal to a non-serious first timers. But does his book leave any lasting impression? Who knows!
Marketing success.. YES.. No doubt! He is the most sold Indian author! Eternal success & everlasting fame?! You must be kidding us!!

His books would be forgotten & buried long before he retires. They would sit along old-books dump to be recycled back for newsprint, 'cause he isn’t a gifted writer!
India has a rich literary scene is all vernacular languages & Queen ’s English, penned by gifted scholars & translated into English/Hindi by equally gifted scholars. Timeless stories which are soaked to our mileu, created by men of genius. Go immerse in them & search your own salvation.

Few of them for ready reference: English (R.K.Narayan, Mulk Raj Anand, Khushwant Singh, Salman Rushdie, Amitava Ghosh….) Bengali- translation in English available (Tagore, Ashapoorna Devi, Shirshendu Mukherjee, Sharat Chandra….) Hindi-translation in English available (Rahul Sanskrityayan, Premchand, Shivani, Dharamveer Bharati…..) Marathi (Shiwaji Sawant…….)& the list goes on!

I don't have any personal vendetta against him, he is after all an IITian & an IIM alumnus, but come what may, he is not a gifted writer! He tries & writes in MS-Excel/Powerpoint type, like typical Business students & try to pass it on as his creation. Not for me & surely I won't recommend them to any of my fellow country-men.

Chetan Bhagat is a hero for millions of India's middle class youth. He writes accessible (simplistic) stories which cleverly reflect the concerns of a generation on the cutting edge of India's rapid urban development. The pricing strategy that he deployed (95 rupees, about £1.20, was significantly cheaper then the market at the time) was a factor in the mass adoption and viral distribution of the book; it also reflected his former career as a banker.

The first book of Chetan Bhagat which I read, and also the best one among all of his works.
This is the book which served as the cornerstone of the numerous books published in India, in the recent years.

Be an IIT/IIM graduate, Take a backdrop of college life, some friends, lots of fun and mischieves, some amount of sex, some emotional instances, and finally a touch of philosophy, and the gist of almost 90% of Indian books is present before you. In short, complete Bollywood Masala.

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.(less)

The closer your grade point average is to a full 10 points, the more "success" you will find in life. Or so goes the common wisdom. Hari, Ryan and Alok meet on their first day at IIT and instantly bond; but they find, to their horror, that after topping all their high school curricula and mugging (grinding) as much as is palatable, at IIT they can manage no better than a five-point-something. So they decide to roll with it, and proceed to have as good a time as possible in their college years without flunking out. Things go from bad to worse as they cut classes, drink on the roof, pick up a girlfriend (Hari), ignore their homework in favor of a personal research project (Ryan) and prioritize their family's happiness (Alok), and have repeated run-ins with their department head. Will they pull things out in the end? or will their eagerness to have a good time ruin their lives?

Chetan Bhagat is not a terrible English writer, but he certainly isn't literary. He is hugely popular in India, and I mean HUGELY. His style is breezy and colloquial with a slang-y Indo-English flair that often gets slammed in his country for being ungrammatical, but I can excuse it because he's trying for fun rather than education. And the novel helped me learn more about IIT's place in India's consciousness and further appreciate the Indian cultural fondness for stories about three male BFFs. However, I found it lacked that certain out-of-control-ness that makes light reading truly fun (Carl Hiaasen and Janet Evanovich, I'm looking at you), and at times the wackiness he strived for seemed forced. And several entire segments of the boys' lives were skipped over--whether as a literary device or because he didn't feel like making up more story, we'll never know.

Five Point Someone was the inspiration for the monstrously successful Bollywood movie 3 Idiots, which I really enjoyed, so I was a bit apprehensive about the book ruining my high opinion of the film. No worries. Although a full comparison is beyond this review (it will appear on the blog http://www.filmigoris.net in a couple of weeks), suffice it to say that you can safely read the book without spoiling the movie, and vice versa.

However, the book talks about what NOT to do at IIT. In fact, the series of events that the book talks about is so unrealistic that one would easily come to the conclusion that these things are not doable at all.
