Well... A good review or should I say comparison. Frankly, I found Chetan Bhagat a touch boring and repetitive in his second book. While FPS was refreshingly different, he has failed to evolve into a better one with ONACC, and I'm not so sure about 3MOML. Might read it to kill time... but will definitely not but it.
Call me a demanding reader if you must, but I like to see an author evolve into a better one with each passing book. A good plot is not enough for me.
ONACC, overdid in the end with the "God calling" funda.

--> Manjari: I noticed the list of books on your blog. I have read only 3 or 4 of them.

--> Moksh: It is a movie material, I agree.

--> Falcon: good to see you around :)

Hi tarun,

Commenting here after along time...
Chetan bhagat writes good... but his standards are falling.. FPS was the best... the other two just above average and average respectively...

I like his style, simple, sarcastic and none of those bombastic words...

As long he can keep to that .. he can sell any crap he dishes out...

And the latest one is surely...a semi crap...

last part - i think he has deliberately exaggerated the whole thing!! methinks, he thinks, this will also become a movie!!

Even if to just draw people to good substantial reading... you will make me write a blog on books now!!!!! :)

Of the three books i have only read first two... And as you said FPS is the Best, while ONACC went over my head.. i only finished it because chetan bhagat has written it.

After reading your review i am not sure if i will bother reading it..

--> Gaurav: Chetan Bhagat was funny in his first 1.5 books but then he lost it. If I have to say in the words of Bakshi, "he is focusing on the big picture; may be has identified the strategic variables."

Hey good one about the girls, wisdom I guess :)

Tarun, you find Chetan Bhagat Funny? Calvin and Hobbes is by far funnier. And you can read a single strip in one hour. Or if you want a small, one day , sacastic (cynical)sort of book, try "Catcher in the Rye" , by J.D Salinger.

Understanding of Girls- You can pardon him for that. Who could claim to have understood girls and still lived to tell the tale!!
