Reading it was biggest mistake of my life

Story:

Hi Friends,


As soon as the book was released I got to know that it is about three friends surviving Gujarat riots and earthquake.


So I made my mind to read it.


And it left no nook and corner left for doubt that the words I heard before were no how related to the book.


Not sure about first and second mistake coz. almost entire book was focused on third mistake.


It felt like exaggeration of teenage infatuation.


Story Goes Like:


3 childhood friends -> start a business -> they invest their profits in their personal interest -> they don't really appreciate each other's view and interest -> dream of friend 1 collapses(communal riots) -> dream of 2 collapses(wrong investment in earthquake) -> Love story of one friend with other friend's sister whom he used to give tutions.


I know infatuation is common in teenage but what the hell author want's to prove by writing a novel of their love story(ok sex story) and promoting it as a novel based on Gujarat's situation.


I am unsure whether it's the people author came across with during whole his life or his own mindset but all his books I read so far have desperate people as main characters.


The language and choice of words for putting expression make it even worse( even more desperate)


If you looking for good reads please avoid all chetan bhagat novels. They aren't worth your valuable time.


A must read for new authors for making sure what not to write in your novel.


-hope it helps
