Could not even sleep when I started reading this book
I rarely read books. 3 Idiots is one of my favourite movies and I always had wondered what led Raju to make this movie and then I figured about this book. Started with free edition and found the urge to read in full. And there you go, finished reading this book in a couple of days. Quite an art to engage non readers, consider this an achievement Mr Bhagat. Will read some more of yours now..

Being inteligent or five pointer not a crime, both are different things . There are different types of people out there who wants things in their life according to them. Live your life at your condition not always gives what you want from Life .Life is unprdictable. Instead of all this mess in life believe in yourself and be good friend ,be a good lover, be a good son,father, be good everywhere and to everyone

Entertaining Read!
The writing style is cool and i loved the analogies used that fits perfectly in those situations. The plot is plain and simple, despite that i really enjoyed the quick paced storyline. The book has romance, drama, friendship, IIT struggle, etc. but is more inclined towards the funny side. I liked the character development of the trio from the beginning till the end. The ending was not according to my taste and wasn't as smooth as the on-going storyline. I find some things odd in the book, but overall I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's totally different from the movie "3 Idiots" which is a total win-win situation for readers who've watched the movie, but haven't read the book, yet. I know the majority of people has read this book, but there may be some species like me who haven't, so they can give it a try. It is perfect for those who are over-burdened by expectations, pressure and responsibilities in life and this book can encourage them to live life to the fullest on their own terms, not somebody else's. I liked this book, i hope you'll love it, too! 😊

Good book. Worth a read.
There’re some really interesting moments and a few brilliant things done by the characters in the book. When I was 60% into the book, I thought I would give a 3-star review after finishing the book. But when I finished reading the book, I felt so emotional, and the emotion is going to stay with me for a while, and so I’m giving a 4-star review.
