Brutally.

And me?

More flowers.
Life with you is fun.
Nobody understood me before,
Now even I don’t.

This is the second book by Chetan Bhagat, whose first book “Five Point Someone” was a major hit in India. This one is even better than his first book. It’s funny and interesting and very light. Bhagat is an excellent storyteller but he needs a good editor. The book is very cheap at 95 rupees, but cheapness comes at a price — bad editor and bad paper/print quality. I started reading it last night and finished it in one sitting — 6 hours straight. No, I wasn’t sitting, I was lying.
