5 Point Someone - A novel by Chetan Bhagat: Book Review




In our college days most of us might have formed a group of friends who have almost the same kind of tastes and/or backgrounds. Well, we would have also christened our group something bizarre as Mighty8 (Groan!!!)

But, what happens when a little group is formed by three guys as different as they could be? And let’s put them in a college…make it an IIT for better measures. That’s what Chetan Bhagat did in Five Point Someone.

It’s the story of three friends from the moment they join IIT till they come out. It’s about how they become under-performers and then how they land into trouble after troubles. It’s not all funny. Chetan has put some insights into the high level of pressure in professional colleges and how it affects the students. There is some romance and the usual boy Vs girl observations.

5 Point Someone is a book that you can read in a single stretch. Better don’t read it twice, because it might loose the charm. Hey! Are you expecting some valuable insights to the life inside an IIT? Or something about how to excel at IIT? Well you can ask any graduate from any professional college and you will get more info.


This is just a simple story yaar! Enjoy it. Forget it.
