review 1: What started as a slow beginning, caught pace after the first few chapters. Similar to books on college life- especially hostel life while studying for specialized courses. Will be a very good read during long journeys. Has all the ingredients for a hit story- friendship, love, betrayal, morals, tragedy, lessons, miracles. Did not understand the relevance of the book’s name to the story. Some descriptions of Mumbai’s routine life and landscape is beautifully written. If you like a light read-go for it!!
review 2: The author is a doctor by profession and it is very clear that he has poured in all his experiences during his medical studies. I would not be surprised if the characters mentioned in this book are similar to some of the real characters who studied... more with the author.This book details the first two years in the medical college of a small town boy with inferiority complex and how over this period his personality changed to outgoing, outspoken and someone who is bold enough to go to girls and ask for a date. In a very interesting narration you will also find how his heart broke and how then he understood the meaning of love and then found it. In this book you will also see a brief impact of strikes in medical colleges and how a patient trusts a person just because he is wearing a white coat.Through the characters of this book, the author has also effectively put in his thoughts about how the people from north east are alienated because of their distinct facial features and also touch base in the marathi versus non-marathi debate and the religion based feelings.I am not sure why the author chose to name the book as "Bombay Rains, Bombay Girls", but irrespective of the name the book was an interesting read and I enjoyed it. less
