Book Review 4:- Revolution 2020



It is Chetan Bhagat!  So, you can expect to read what you see daily in india. Even the slightest things that you have looked at but not observed are given in  glorious form.

Story?  Well, a triangle love story has its own advantages! But, I don’t think the title suits the story. May be the ANNA revolution prompted the writer to keep this title. The initial pages are too good. I had to stop reading for a couple of minutes to enjoy some of the lines. No one other than CB can write those. My hands are itching to type some of them here, but I want you to relate those lines to the context of the story.

A part of the book deals with the stress faced by a student while preparing for entrance exams. Obviously, I remembered my time in such a factory. It is one thing to spend your time in hell, but is altogether a different feeling to read them in a book. (But, without a girlfriend!!)

Some of my friends said that the climax is complex. I agree. But, I think that CB wanted to make a point that finally it all comes to one’s conscience.  

Three mistakes of my life is my favourite CB novel and I am glad that Revolution 2020 doesn’t beat it. I feel the storyline of R2020 is not very good. But, CB makes up for those things by some awesome writing! And some may feel that it drags a bit too long in the middle. It does, since it is his thickest novel till date. I am sure you have enjoyed reading Revolution 2020 or you will…
