The 3 mistakes of my life


For all u Chetan Bhagat fans out there(i am surely being one), CB has come up wid his new book almost after a span of 3 years - the 3 mistakes of my life! Given the vast success his previous two books had achieved, this one is not going to disappoint you. Though many CB critics feel that his books do not fall into the literature category - I dont care, rather we all CB fans dont care! "The biggest-selling english language novelist in India's history" -- Chetan Bhagat covered by New York Times! This man is really making India read big in recent times. FPS, one night @ call center and now 3...The subjects are so close to the current generation..No wonder he strikes the chord with the indian youth in no time !

The 3 mistakes of my life is again a story of 3 friends..a story about business, cricket, and religion...I really enjoyed reading it. There are lots of incidents which are totally filmy..but isn't it a CB book speciality?..I would not go into the plot of the story..its better you go n read ! I recommend this book to all! You can also have a look at some of reviews here - Rashmi, livemint.

Absolutely loved this book! CB once again manages to connect very well, but more importantly, it got me thinking a bit as well. About the whole Gujarat riots thing. The characters are well-defined, and, in typical CB style, he examines the dynamics of friendship. The bit in Australia got a lil bit stretched I think, but overall, way better than 'One night @ a call centre', and in the same league as 'Five point someone' ;)
Cheers!

Worth reading once.... good book.. though lil filmy and focusing more on cricket than anything else.. still better than "one night@call centre"

Chetan Bhagat Fans can go ahead and start reading it...:)
