review 1: Not good, not for those who prefer serious reading, as a famous columnist and all that he is expected to give more detailing to each topic, this is just a loose collection of some words put together, if the detailing was more in depth, would have made more sense, good for people who have never picked up newspapers or magazines but those who are aware with the ongoings around will find nothing new, lame examples too, I mean kareena kapoor from jab we met?, there are better people and better examples Mr. Bhagat
review 2: After reading this book I have come to the conclusion that Chetan Bhagat must be considered a "voice for the youth of [India]" because his level of nuance and critical thought is basically indistinguishable from that of a well-intentioned but not... more very self-aware 12 year old boy. Some of his essays were just goofy simple (India would be a lot better off if politicians would just stop being corrupt), some were offensive (Women are really important because if they weren't around men would let their B.O. get out of control, no one would pick up their socks, and children would be completely neglected but it's really hard to take care of a home and work, so women should accept that they'll be mediocre at both and stop stressing about it. Search for 'Chetan Bhagat Don't worry Be Happy' and/or 'Five things women need to change about themselves' for an online version and update), and still others were downright dangerous (Minorities and illiterate people are ruining politics by being "vote banks" for politicians offering them benefits). The basic messages are:Politicians - Stop being corrupt. Build some schools.Electorate - Vote better. Who knows how, but do it.Everyone - Get better morals/values. Simultaneously. And by "basic messages" I mean they really were that basic. At least the lack of complexity or any new insights made for a quick, light read. less
