Story about a group of college friends who move on to various fields in life, discover life, experience new things and learn (or unlearn) a lot.Story revolves around relationships and is very contemporary. Finished it in one go - so it is obviously an easy breezy quick read.
My issues with the book however, are its editing (grammatical errors and spelling mistakes are easy to spot), its predictability and its narrative. In the end of a book, if I cannot carry something from it with me, I don't t...more

First thing about this book I love its tittle…. normally I dont like long tittle a lot but this one has a poetic ring to it plus the die hard romantic in me loves it :D

Love, life & all that jazz... is an insightful narration of the way relationships work in urban and young India. The author skilfully weaves in the different choices and conflicts one faces--love, career, family, religion, among others--in the bid to be successful in one's life and relationships. The characters in the novel have a surprising variety and depth to them, that make reading it a meaningful and pleasant experience.
What I like about this books is relationship seems real and like today’s youth don’t break after breakups or other family problems ..rather they get up and find a solution for problem. There is lot of positivity in book and frenship between 4 protagonist which makes it fun read….however very predictable happy ending.

This book may strike chord with youngsters, specifically living in Mumbai. As the lifestyle depicted typically is of Mumbai. This is a story about a bunch of friends and how they grow up with time and accepted to move on in-spite of initial set backs. The one good thing was that they still keep on their friendship.
The writing style of the author is very simple and makes the book a compelling read. I finished it quickly.

An engrossing story of four Sobo youngsters who explore friendship after passing out from college. Well knitted and fabulously narrated, the story is heart-warming and addictive. Addictive enough to complete in one whole sitting.
The book is set in the posh places of Mumbai and will be loved and definitely related to by a true blue Bombaite who truly knows the beauty of this grand city.....!

"Debutante author Ahmed Faiyaz’s novel Love, Life and all that Jazz traverses the wonder years of college. His characters are young, vibrant, energetic and flirtatious. They may be amoral at times, but never immoral. It’s a tale of a bunch of youngsters, the choices they make and their evolution into fine human beings. Faiyaz’s message to his readers is very clear. He wants them to follow their dreams not money, to experiment with things rather then accepting the established norms. He doesn’t wa...more
Well story did remind me of my college days! I felt the narration of story was boring. Nevertheless decent read.

Actually I would rate it at 2.5!!! A detailed review on the way!
This book is primarily about relationships in the current context and that is what I liked about it. Their is no pretence in accepting that todays generation has moved ahead when it comes to relationships. We dont think like our parents used to, the book reflects the modern youth in a way which is real.
What i didnt like about the book… Well its too predictable. U tend to know whats coming next but than may be its about our minds ;)
