5.0 out of 5 stars Great story & fun read, January 10, 2007
By RS (LA, USA) - See all my reviews
I picked up this book while in India and quickly realized that I couldn't put it down. It is the story of three friends who are at IIT Delhi...who are all below average (five point something on a 10-pt GPA scale). They quickly bond after getting hazed (called ragging) and embark on a series of adventures involving life around Delhi, girls, and how to beat the IIT system before it beats them. A great read even if you didn't go to IIT Delhi!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun book to read., September 2, 2009
By S.G "S.G" (Chicago) - See all my reviews
I always wanted to read this book and I am glad that I did. Sent me back to my undergraduate days and all the mischievous things that me and my friends did. I guess those times will be one of the most memorable for most of us and we always enjoy reliving them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Time pass!, October 2, 2008
By Vinoth (Boise, ID, USA) - See all my reviews
I started this novel in an evening after my work and just couldn't stop it until I completed! I like Chetan Bhagat's narration style...It was very fast paced, very simple-funny-down-to-earth conversations and the story was interesting...I had a very good time reading it!

Thats all I can say. The way Chetan Bhagat narrates the story, embedded with humor is fantastic. Once you start reading this book, you just can't put it down before finishing it.
