Autors: Ritesh Sharma, Neeraj Pahlajani
Genre: Fiction
What is it with these IIT, IIM folks? Everyday, somebody or the other seems to be writing a book. This is the 3rd one that I read (5 point someone, keep off the grass being the others).
The story of Shekhar Verma, a brilliant chap who gets into the IIM just because the IT bubble has burst and MBA seems to be the only alternative to a high profile, jet-setting job.Yeah! thats how easy it is for him to clear CAT and get calls from 3(?) IIMs. The book then covers his cliched schedule and cliched self doubt at being in one of India's premier institutes.
The book is great in terms of a one time read. I especially like the middle class nuances put forth by the authors. Being a small book, it wouldnt take much efforts to finish it off in one read.My rating though is an average :)

I like your reviews, but don't put authors down just because they are successful in other spheres as well or are not full time writers :-) i personally felt Joker in the Pack had much more character than the others in this genre...it was refreshingly realistic and funny..besides, it's one of the few in this genre which actually has a message!
Hey Pallavi,
I am no way criticizing anyone.I am talking about people who have got their books published and are way ahead compared to a mortal living soul(liek me ;)).....Its just that wrt to this book i do not find the book enticing enough. NO bias, just a personal opinion. Even seasoned writers churn out bad plots....but believe me none can ever put a writer down.
If I say i didnt like the book, its just what I think .....you will find many others being happy baout it too!!!
