review 1: Five Point Someone:Believe it or not this is my first English novel I ever read. I was in twelve grade when I first read this book. The pace of the story is marvelous. You can feel the character in yourself. Maybe the target audience of this books are engineering students, but I can bet it has a huge success to all book lovers. I have completed my engineering and no doubt this book tells the exact life of an engineering students.
review 2: Thanks to this novel I know what makes people tick in Ahmadabad (cricket, business, sex, cricket, religion, cricket, cricket and cricket). I’m guessing it is aimed at a young adult market – parts were banal in the extreme, but carry on and you discover it packs a considerable punch. Following the fortunes of three friends
... more who open a cricket shop but get embroiled in politics and religious warfare, it is written in a readable if unspectacular style. I did struggle a bit with the character Mama who was neither someone’s mother nor female – he confused the heck out of me and I suspect many other Western readers too. Parts were a culture shock: the idea that you can smash up the car of someone you suspect is stalking your family – with witnesses – and not expect to receive a strongly worded solicitor’s letter in the post...an earthquake lays waste to a city and nobody gets any financial help: the absence of a compensation culture is both refreshing and disturbing. The writing isn’t perfect – managing to fall somewhere above amateur but below professional, but despite what might appear an indifferent review I cannot give this less than five stars because, whether or not I was too old for it, I was hooked from start to finish. less
