Waste of paper!

Absolutely awful with no redeeming features - don't waste your time reading this and don't believe the review or synopsis - I've actually read the book!
FYI the call centre workers are not selling white goods to americans.
Ok then, is this written in the style of a Bollywood movie? Then I'll concede I don't have a valid opinion but if you're looking for a good read then this does not qualify.
You can probably work out without too much difficulty that I'm very disappointed but if you've read this far and can actually recommend a decent read on this subject I would appreciate it.

A delicious read!

The synopsis tells you enough about the plot that I won't go into the details. This is such a quirky read and linking it to `The Office' (as Amazon has done) is not bad actually, it has that feel. I picked this up on a recommendation from a friend; she was spot on. When I read the opening chapter I thought yeah right, this isn't going to be that good but Bhagat's writing style is so easy you are soon swept along with the narrative.
In the opening page we are asked to do a task - think about something you fear, that makes you angry and one thing you don't like about yourself. I had a think, came up with an idea and plodded on with the reading. When you reach the end of the novel you find yourself thinking about what you said in the beginning and viewing it in a different way. Clever stuff!
God calling the characters who work in the call centre is a brilliant modern way of asking you not to find religion or allow Him into your heart but really just to trust and know you are watched over. It gave me a nice warm feeling! The characters are funny, they do some good things and some dreadful things all of which we are allowed to view through our own eyes and through the eyes of different characters.
Overall a great read that is well written with funny characters.
