Could not even sleep when I started reading this book
I rarely read books. 3 Idiots is one of my favourite movies and I always had wondered what led Raju to make this movie and then I figured about this book. Started with free edition and found the urge to read in full. And there you go, finished reading this book in a couple of days. Quite an art to engage non readers, consider this an achievement Mr Bhagat. Will read some more of yours now..

Entertaining Read!
The writing style is cool and i loved the analogies used that fits perfectly in those situations. The plot is plain and simple, despite that i really enjoyed the quick paced storyline. The book has romance, drama, friendship, IIT struggle, etc. but is more inclined towards the funny side. I liked the character development of the trio from the beginning till the end. The ending was not according to my taste and wasn't as smooth as the on-going storyline. I find some things odd in the book, but overall I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's totally different from the movie "3 Idiots" which is a total win-win situation for readers who've watched the movie, but haven't read the book, yet. I know the majority of people has read this book, but there may be some species like me who haven't, so they can give it a try. It is perfect for those who are over-burdened by expectations, pressure and responsibilities in life and this book can encourage them to live life to the fullest on their own terms, not somebody else's. I liked this book, i hope you'll love it, too! 😊

Best
Being inteligent or five pointer not a crime, both are different things . There are different types of people out there who wants things in their life according to them. Live your life at your condition not always gives what you want from Life .Life is unprdictable. Instead of all this mess in life believe in yourself and be good friend ,be a good lover, be a good son,father, be good everywhere and to everyone

Good book. Worth a read.
There’re some really interesting moments and a few brilliant things done by the characters in the book. When I was 60% into the book, I thought I would give a 3-star review after finishing the book. But when I finished reading the book, I felt so emotional, and the emotion is going to stay with me for a while, and so I’m giving a 4-star review.

A lot different from the movie but a great book
I came to know about this book through the movie 3 idiots. I liked so much the movie and it was a surprise how different is was the story compared to the book. I liked both movie and the book, but it was easier to me to relate with the characters here than in the movie, the characters were more grounded, the interactions more natural and overall i found it more engaging.But if you are expecting to have the same story that the movie you might be disappointed, there are some mayor differences both in the story and the characters so be open minded and judge them for what they are, a very different product.

Excellent Book!!
I received this book today in the mail and finished it before the end of the day!! Literally in one go!! I have not read a whole book in a while, but this book had this undefinable magic about it, which led me into this 'unstoppable' reading till I reached the end!! It is a story, nicely told, funny, gripping, with its poignant moments which make you reflect, or gulp down a lump or two down your throat. At the same time the characters brought back memories of the 'olden golden' college days which I haD left behind long ago!! The nostalgia was sweet.. so hats off to the author for rekindling old memories!!The narration is nice, plain and simple, and most importantly made me laugh aloud when I read it.

Five Point Something
As someone who couldn’t get into IIT’s but been in an engineering college hostel of a different kind this was excellent reading.Friends are made and kept a life long only when you’ve shared the same journey.Mr. Bhagat is a superb wizard with words and kudos to him

Vie étudiante en Inde
Ce livre retrace la vie de trois étudiants dans une "grande école" de l'Inde et leurs dilemmes entre amusements et nécessité d'étudier. On constate que les étudiants indiens bossent bien plus que les étudiants français !Ce livre profitera au maximum à de jeunes gens, public habituel de Chetan Bhagat en Inde. Son anglais est facile à lire.
