2 states...a bollywood style masala stuff...

1. Loved 5 point someone: fresh and original
2. Hated one night @ call centre: the art of storytelling was missing..may be coz the story itself was missing
3. 3 mistakes of my life : Mr. Bhagat is not a good story teller
4.2 states: Chetan Bhagat is a good story teller, but only things that have happened to/with him in real life.
2 states: ita not a book, its a bollywood movie

Mr. Bhagat has taken the "make movie from my book" thing little seriously and has written 2 states in such a way that a bollywood producer would want to make a movie out of it. His previous 2 books have clearly proved that he lacks the creative instinct of creating a story but the other two proved that he can narrate the already happened stories with panache and lots of spice of course. At the outset it seems that he has thrown his personal life at the disposal of the readers, but I think the major triggers like interstate marriage, may be his little sour relationship with his father are real and the rest of story is built around that. Sometimes exaggerating certain facts and sometimes excluding some aspects, which is absolutely fine as the book is supposed to be "inspired by his life and considered as fiction." A decent time pass short reading for the weekend. One can buy it coz its really cheap (95 bucks only) but I would suggest that if somebody has already bought it, borrow and read. I did the same..:)

Cheers,
SM
