One out of three


A quick review of three books, which I read recently

I have this habit of finishing books whether i like it or not. so i am a bit careful when selecting books, still sometimes i end up with craps.

State of fear by Michael Crichton. I still can’t believe that he has wriiten this crap. Looks more like a climate change and environmental effects report submitted to UN. I didn’t expect this from the author who gave Jurassic park and time line. The story comes in between the report that too with more pits and falls with mega flaws in logic. State of fear will make you scare.

The Broker by John Grisham. This is my fist book of Grisham. I should not have gone for this. Looks more like a travelogue than a novel. If u want to know about an Italian town called Bologna and the famous restaurants there with espresso go for it. Grisham should be a connoisseur of food coz he covers every meal of the hero with full details. Must have spent too much time in bologna. Another crap. Better go for other works of the same author, though I don’t know about those.

Five point someone (what not to do at IIT) by Chetan bhagat. Don’t think an Indian praising another Indian. A must read and laughing starts as soon as you start this and goes on till you finish. The story revolves around three friends life at IIT in a span of four years. This book is not restricted to IITians as once I thought, can be read by all especially by college students that too if you are engineering student, fine. You would’ve undergone the system like our heroes in the book.

They, the three guys-heroes, do the things in IIT that any ordinary college student will dare to do. Definitely every one will finish it in one shot.

bye then
