I have read almost every novel of chetan bhagat. Chetan bhagat is a hero for millions India's middle class youth. He writes accessible 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 was a factor in the mass adoption and viral distribution of the book; it also reflected his former carrer as a banker.
Five point someone deals with the challenges of life an IIT where grades are relative and pressure to perform is unrelenting. There are three boys as main characters.It's attraction for the millions who have read it lies in the way Chetan uses these characters to reflect the challenging conflicts that face Indian youth today as they try and nevigate their way into a highly competitive workforce.
The writing is really pretty dreadfull. Five Point Someone is worth reading as an insight into the concerns of Indian youth; and it is impossible to deny that Bhagat has an ability to keep one reading through clever storytelling devices which pull you through to the final-unsatisfying-ending.
