review 1: The title is really catchy the meaning of which is nicely explained in the book itself. I am not going to give spoiler! The cover-page is orangey and nicely depicted. It is a sure eye-Catcher. The book blurb is not very interesting. It is too vague. But, the checklists conveys the most and grabs attention. The entire book is from the protagonist’s angle; about his life and thoughts. The narrative is lucid and funny. The chapter heads are catchy and relevant. I also liked the little cartoons here and there. They are cute!The entire book is the hues and cries of a 25 years old man who is not ready to grow up and is unsure about what he wants in his life. It has about 230 pages. The first 100 pages are an assured page-turner. It is witty and there are several laugh-aloud mo... morements. There are two aspects that I loved the most in the book. One is the relationship between Rishab and his mother. It is well-depicted and their bonding is well-established. But, I am wondering why so little is mentioned about his father. Secondly, I liked the relationship between Rishab and Natasha. Their friendship is the most platonic one and she really lives to the saying, “A friend in need is friend in indeed”. I wish that Rishab was a listener too and that he bothered to get to know her. But...When you are halfway through the book, the redundancy would bore you. And, the climax would make you wonder what the purpose of the book is. Neither there is a premise nor there any interesting incidents. The protagonist thinks a lot, exaggerates even more and over-explains. At times,Should you read it?If you have nothing else to do…And for the sake of first half!
review 2: It is one of those books where you turn the pages quickly but finally when you put down the book makes you wonder "Seriously? That's all"This novel is a no brainer like many other novels penned by Indian authors. The quirky monologues by the hero are fine upto 50 pages but seems an overdose when spilled to the remaining 200 pages too. As for the climax, even Rohit Shetty's 'masala' bollywood movies have a better ending! less
