The Great Indian Love Story read more like a Madhur Bhandarkar flick for a movie buff like me, it had a combination of quintessential components of all his movies...parties, drugs, girls, and of course sex...along with the 2 love stories that do touch your senses at times...A book easily forgotten.

Really poorly written. Silly story line. A waste of time.

[Alka · Rating 1 out of 5]

Groan. Tired of these half intellectual half hippie, new gen type of stories, actually non stories.

[Smita Beohar · Rating 3 out of 5]

A time pass one time read book. Shows us the glimpses of Page 3 life in Delhi and how a fractured past can fracture your future as well. Worth a read for Rs. 199.

[Rashmi · Rating 3 out of 5]

You can get an insight into Delhi's high society life. A life that leads you into emptiness and despair. The rich Indian culture replaced by a society bereft of moral values .

[Amrita Singh · Rating 1 out of 5]

This is no great love story. A filmy crap with all the socialite masala.

[Rahna · Rating 1 out of 5]

If you love reading, then don't read this book. It's utter waste of time.

[Suphil · Rating 2 out of 5]

Not inspiring. Didn't enjoy the book much. The story's just uninspiring, tragic, lot of bad drama and being aimless in life. Only the last few pages are good.

I have read Ira Trivedi’s ‘What Would You Do To Save The World’ long back, around six years ago. I remember not being impressed by the author much. It portrayed a naïve view of things and narration was often silly. Coupled by the ‘brainy’ attitude of the narrator, it kind of made me rate it 1 or 2 I guess. This book, is a definite improvement of the overall package. First of all, the synopsis at the back cover of the book – Its just over selling. The story is nice but in no way its as glittering as shown in the synopsis. So a bit of caution there.

The story is being told from the perspective of different people.Riya, is the main narrator when the story starts. She kicks of the story and Serena takes it forward. I feel the emphasis and focus on Riya(Author tend to name her main character as Riya in all her books. that’s nice. ) as next-level Bridget Jones is just unnecessary. The book is crisp and story does not drag anywhere. But you get a lackadaisical feeling while going through the book. Another story, another book, which can be missed anytime if you have better picks. Will go with a two and half for this book.

One time read,just to know the page 3 life in delhi...Women def go thro a lot of emotional trauma when left without care...this is one such story...All seem to be right in what they are doing...JUSTIFIED....

[Fred · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very sad and definitely not for young readers. Definitely deals with the struggles today's youth in any culture are laboring. happy to find a fiction author who actually deals with abortion, betrayal, and heartache, rather than a romanticist fantasy of heartache with a shallow resolution.
