First things first....Lets not indulge in comparison and form a biased opinion about 'the 3 mistakes of my life'....Yes, it may not be as memorable as that cracker of a story 'Five Point Someone' or even the above-average 'One Night @ A Call Centre', but its a pretty entertaining and well-crafted book on its own. Yes people, Chetan Bhagat has done it again!
The book has been on the stands for almost 3 months now and i know its a little late to say somethng abt it....but Fountainhead held me up and thts as good as a book can get!
Coming back to 3, its a roller-coaster of a ride which makes you want to finish the book in one go! And considering its just 260-odd pages, its possible too, with Bhagat's simple language being the icing on the cake! Pretty well-etched characters, good incorporation of some real-life events into the story and a feel-good culmination make this book worth a dekko...
I went through a lot of reviews of the book, which accused Bhagat of writing the book such that it can be easily adapted into a movie....Hmmm, while its true the story is unabashedly 'filmy' and quite far-fetched, i dont really know if its a point that can be held against the author...He always made it clear that he writes books to entertain and not to enlighten....And considering his first two books are being made into movies by a well-known and a flop director (apologies Atul! and Salman!), none can blame him if hes looking towards script writing as a career option!
In fact, you can read his views on the subject here...
Dont go for it expecting another FPS and m sure u wont be disappointed...
