Book Review: One night@ call centre & The 3 mistakes of my life.

Let me get this clear: I chose to write both the book reviews in a single article coz they really didn't deserve 2 separate ones.
One night @ the call center :
Chetan Bhagat's second book and quite a let down too. This book talks about the lives of a group of call center employees with their myriad problems and attitudes. Their life takes a full flip when one night ..they receive a call from God . Yeah..god..as in..'God'!! That's the story simply put.

What was clearly lacking in this book was sanity in the final circumstance. Chetan probably had in mind an inspiring book, but it somehow just failed to make me think deep. While few people really liked the book, most were not happy with it...so i guess it just boils down to this -'Read a borrowed book and if ya like it, well and good and if didn't ..if wasn't at least a waste of money!'


3 mistakes of my life:
Chetan's most recent book and frankly I can't say which is more boring...this one or one night...! This book speaks of 3 boys Omi,Ish and Govind(the guy who commits the mistakes!).
The book's biggest negative was the freaking-huge number of clichés used. Cricket,India,Nerd,Gujarat,Goverment- all of these issues were repeatedly used and abused.
Sometimes the story went too over the top and all "masala movie-ish"! Though he more or less stuck to the mainline of the story, it was quite painstaking to sit through the book.
I can only give you guys this piece of advice- "If ya want to kill time brutally or if you have real interest in chetan's books, go along and read it. If you are short-tempered, for sanity's sake, forget it!!"
In the very wise words of a Cnn-ibn article
"Picking up the book the 3 mistakes of my life is a big mistake" ! That explains a lot!
