Review
Excellent book. Madhav and Riya make a good story and it takes new turns when they go on spaceship and explore new intergalactical planetary systems. Book deals nicely with the poverty, terrorism, depression during world war 2 and world political problems. Or may be not, I am just hallucinating. This is a simple book with simple story. Go read it, you will enjoy it –By Bhallukie on November 16, 2014
The story is simple yet lovable. I couldn’t resist reading the entire book in one sitting. I too fell in love with the character Riya while reading the book. This is my third favorite book from the author Chetan Bhagat. The other too being ‘five point someone’ and ‘three mistakes of my life’. –By Onion Knight on November 27, 2014
