Sorry for neglecting this space. I’ve been extremely busy lately with my other
blog. It just got nominated for the #IFBA Awards 2014 so I have been working
really hard on it. You'll can go check it out: www.yummyinsidemytummy.wordpress.com
The minute Mr Bhagat announced the release of his
latest book, it got me all excited. I finished the book about a week and a half
ago and quite enjoyed it, but was obviously expecting a lot more from it.
There wasn’t much of a difference seen with the
previous books of his. A simple, uneducated Bihari boy falling in love with an
up-class, filthy rich Delhi babe, having one thing in common- BASKETBALL!
There were a lot of repetitive scenes and yet again
cultural differences had to be brought out.
The plot was too simple and very predictable.
Nothing exciting or out of the ordinary happens!
But leaving aside all of this, there was one thing he
managed to do.... And that was to grab the attention of the reader which is one
of the smartest moves made by a good writer today. You look around and you will
find everyone talking about this book. Now that’s being clever!
He definitely fulfilled his mission in reaching out
his book to millions by pricing his book at a reasonable price accessible to
all.
I’m actually more excited to see it come out as a
movie. I believe Mohit Suri will do a better job out of it. But still not keeping my hopes too high!
Before reading the book, I was planning on writing
quite a lengthy review, unfortunately now I have nothing more to say.
So let’s hope now for his next to
entertain us a little more!
