Verdict: ☆☆☆ Chetan Bhagat’s book is good for movie Script only and loved by Chetan Bhagat’s Fan. This book is one time read. A biggest time pass…
About The Author: Chetan Bhagat is a famous contemporary Indian writer, speaker, columnist and novelist. He was born in New Delhi in 1974. Considered one of India's most popular writers of fiction, Chetan Bhagat is an alumnus of the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi and the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad. Before becoming a full-time writer, Chetan worked as an investment banker for a few years. The New York Times called him ‘the biggest selling English language novelist in India’s history’. Some of Chetan's other notable works are Five Point Someone, One Night at the Call Centre, 2 States, The 3 Mistakes of My Life, and Revolution 2020. Three of his books have been adapted into Bollywood movies, two of which went on to become massive hit movies: 3 Idiots and Kai Po Che!
About the book: Madhav is a Bihari boy with big dreams who falls in love with the beautiful Riya, a rich lass from Delhi. There are some fundamental differences between the two. Madhav’s English isn’t all that great, but Riya speaks the best English. Madhav wants Riya to be his girlfriend, but Riya disagrees. She wants them to be just friends, but he definitely wants more. Riya finally comes up with a suggestion, a compromise – she agrees to become his half-girlfriend! Chetan Bhagat presents a simple and beautiful love story that will move you with all the nuances of a modern-day relationship. It also inspires you to realize your individual dreams.
Review: First look of the cover is simple. The title “Half Girlfriend” Really make you inquisitive to read the book as why the Author had chosen this title. After reading this book, your inquisitiveness get over. There is nothing new in this book. It is typical Chetan Bhagat’s book, just like a movie script and I am sure Chetan had already decided to make it into a Bollywood movie. The Book was divided into three parts and each part is in different Cities. The first part was in Delhi, which is interesting and Romantic. The relationship between Riya and Madhav and their friendship will hold you completely towards reading the book. The second part was in Bihar with some twists and turn and some part were unrealistic and boring. I really liked the speech which Madhav had spoken in English in front of Bill Gates. That was a treat to read. The last part of the book was dragged completely. There were some irrelevant pages which appeared to me boring and it can be avoided. The End was predictable and nothing new. It is good for a one time read and Recommended to those who love to read light fiction and are die-hard Chetan Bhagat fans… After reading this book, I was wondering which Actor and Actress will be best suited for the role of the main protagonist. All the best Author…
Drawback: The book was dragged too much which appeared to me irrelevant. Apart from the concept of “Half Girlfriend” there was nothing new in the story….The end should be more exciting.
