Five Point Someone

I bump into the right books at right time! Just when I finished reading 'Angels and Demons', the Pope died! Not that I am pleased with it, but still the timing was perfect...I'm a bad man! Anyway, now just when I'm on the verge of entering the II of T, I got this book 'Five Point Someone'. A book by an IITian, about the IIT (actually about what not to do at IIT!), but definitely not for IITians only...I bet anyone who has been to school/college/or the great IIT itself, will not put this book down without finishing it! Well the plot is not totally out of the world, in fact at times it feels like a typical teenagers-type hindi movie...but just the tag "IIT" makes it that special and of course the simple but superb story telling technique by the author blows you away!
IIT has always been a black box for those who haven't been lucky(?) enough to be a part of this "system"....the only thing that the world knows is, it produces the finest of talent in India...but after reading this book you get to know the "how" part of it!
Looking forward to "Five Point Someone", the film. I wish I could play Hari! Are they still casting for the film? Kidding, of course! Let the actor in me rest in peace for the good of society....I think I should stop right now before I give some more crap. Let me finish by giving no less than nine point something to the book!
