Book Review
The 3 mistakes of my life - Third book of Chetan
Bhagat.
What I liked most was the
fact that Chetan Bhagat has narrated the story in a way that almost looks like
an auto-biography with the author himself getting involved in the story. This
style definitely increases the credibility of the story.
The story revolves around 3
boys who are good friends and their all-encompassing passion with the national
hobby – cricket. They recognize a great talent
in a small boy who has the potential to become a national hero. It is now their common desire to help and
protect this young kid to help achieve this goal.
Based in Ahmedabad and set
in the background of Godhra Violence, this story depicts the way emotions and
allegiances change in turbulent and violent times. How people go mad with religious sentiments
to shed lives that they have never thought of before. It brings the worst out of humanity with people
killing their own !!
A tale of continuous struggles
of these young and budding entrepreneurs and cricketers from a small town and
meagre means who have talent to make it big. Mix it with a little
emotional tangle and love, caste and religious differences which pop up even amongst
close friends who would have otherwise laid down their life for each
other.
Overall a very easy
read, written in simple language so everyone can understand with the usual
masala’s to make an Indian reader tick.
Rating : 3/5
