I mostly read books online but this book was bought by my brother. This was the first Chetan Bhagat book I ever read. This book was another of the hyped book which came for pre order.
Half girlfriend:
Book quality:
The pages are quite thick and nice for paperback. Nothing to say much about the books quality. It came with a bookmark which I was so happy that I have to not make another one for my new book. My brother bought this from amazon as a pre order.
Summary:
I would really say this I get mixed up with Chetan Bhagats novels as most of his stories are quite same. I think the story of all his novels are quite same.
So, this book is mostly point of view of Madhav. Madhav is a Bihari boy who cannot speak english fluently. He saw Riya one day in his college and fell in love with her instantly. This story is of both of them, how Madhav proposes Riya and she always rejected.
This book mostly revolves around a boy who attempts to dazzel the girl he loves.
This story shows us how people who can't speak english at all or fluently suffer in India. How people treat them and how girls dislike them for that. This obviously shuns the stereotype that everyone must speak english fluently.
Author:
This books author is Chetan Bhagat who has written many romantic love stories. And this was one of his books which was made into a movie.
I just don't understand the need of making it into a movie it was good as a novel itself. The movie was just pathetic to watch they also changed the story a tad bit. But I just cringed through the whole movie.
I think that Chetan Bhagat is a good writer but, I think they should just stop making his books into movies because they are hit.
Price of the book:
Books can be really affordable. This books just costed 176/- when it came out. That is really affordable. But if you haven't read it still you can buy it on amazon at just 72/- which is quite a deal.
