HALF GIRLFRIEND #

Good ending, I like and love ❤️ the book .I thought half of the book it's going to sad ending 😞 but when I finished I ill get good one and Nice to .

This Chetan Bhagat is good and engages reader till the end.Most of my friends stopped reading this author novel because they think he is a movie screenwriter instead of Author however, I like stories from Chetan Bhagat.Later on one movie is also released based upon this Novel

Thank u Chetan Bhagat for this awesome masterpiece. I hated to read books some few days back .Randomly my roommate mentioned of this book and coincidentally I encountered this book in my college Library ,so I thought to give a try .After reading a few pages I felt a pull and decided to purchase it .One of the best purchase of my life .Reading this felt as of I was a part of this story and I could feel each and every emotion in the book .The book is beautifully written by Mr Bhagat and whosoever is thinking to buy this I would highly recommend the book.Atlast thankyou Mr Bhagat for developing a book loving creature in me .

HUGE SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!! WARNING!Did I LOVE this book? No. Did I LOATHE it then? No. Am I crazy? NO.I was so confused as to how i was going to review this book because i had mixed feelings. But i can say one thing for sure, this was the only book by Chetan Bhagat i could stand!! I like him as a writer (LOVE actually) but his stories never really get to me)Anyway, This book was about a guy called Madhav. He comes from a "not so royal anymore" royal family from the state of Bihar. Bihar is one of the most backward states in India and is generally looked down upon by many. Since he lived in Bihar most of his life his english is pretty screwed up and I for one am not the judgmental type when it comes to not knowing english, and i also thought this book was better because of this detail. SO when he goes to New Delhi, for college (to the best college in India actually) he is made fun of for his spoken english. This is where he meets Riya, a tall, Beautiful girl who just like him plays basket ball for the collage team. They get talking and eventually become reallllyyyy close. But wait there is one problem, according to her it was just friendship but according to him it was just LOVE, hmmm not the first time you have seen a guy friendzoned. This guy decides to take it to another level, he kisses her, keeps DESPERATELY BEGGING her to love him back, even if she keeps brushing him off. and all i wanted to say was.. " Hey i just found this on the ground, it looks like your DIGNITY, you better hang on to that!"It wasnt just his fault.... No. It was her fault as well, even if the guy u friendzoned kisses u and asks to for more u say "NO." but that is not what Ms. Riya does, she leads him on. She makes him hungry for more and she goes to his room after playin basket ball cuz she wants a nap...!so when she goes to his house to rest, he gets all horny and she says "no I am not comfortable with this, blah blah blah..." and he LITERALLY says " **** me or **** off" so she gets offended and tells him that she doesnt want to be friends anymore. He goes to apologize but she tells him that she was getting married to her family friend Rohan. and dropping out of collage So guess what he is heart broken.The book actually got better and better. Madhav though not fully recovered from his heart break , goes back to his village to help run a village school which was started by his mother to provide free education to the poor. He meets divorced Riya again and she offers him help with his english as he had to make a speech for BILL GATES who was coming on a visit to India for sponsoring organisations working for the society's betterment. He needed a speech that convinces Gates foundation to provide him the grant.The whole part from here, INSPIRED me a lot! It dealt with major issues that India faces today and how we can achieve anything with determination and hard work. It really touched me, how much of suffering ppl in Indian villages face, especially the kids. This book was really really really making me LOVE !This is again when it started going down again! He gets the grant and when he looks around for Riya she disappears leaving him a letter saying she has lung cancer and that she has only a little time left and not to come look for her. He is hear broken again. (view spoiler)Its like Chetan Bhagat couldn't think about any other reason so just put up the first thing that came to his mind! *throws stone at random pedestrian*He remembers that it was always her dream to sing in the bars of NYC and goes there looking for her!! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR SENSES (If u ever had any , that is.) NEW YORK IS NOT A GROCERY STORE, where u can look for ur mom in case u lose her.*face palms so hard that her face is completely flat now*He finds her nevertheless and she says she did it cause she was scared of commitment.....Also at the end I figured out that the "not knowing english" was just left there hanging in mid air. I thought this aspect ,if it were made use of in a more substantial way would have made it a little more interesting.So the book wraps up with a happily ever after. He gets the girl, he gets the kid!

Excellent quality product.

Got it for my friend long time back.. he still has it..nice time pass book.. but not like 2 states unfortunately..

A long story containing all the situations including the possible disaster and corrections to make life living and love full.

Once upon a time, there was a guy who wanted to be an author. He wrote a couple of decent works and then got caught in a loop. This reviewer is setting it down here, so that he can try breaking out of it and stop crowding out other better-written books.The Conception:1. He has convinced himself that he is supposed to be the common man's author2. So has a responsibility to pick up mundane topics and themes3. And they have to be cliched and not too intricate - because the common man's life is just not complicated enough for a Dostoevskian treatment (god forbid!), or for a "literary treatment"4. So it has to be non-literary and cliched. Got it?5. It also has to employ poor language because not only is he the common man's voice, but his readers are also the common men, who wants the processed goods, the easy stuff.6. Conclusion: He has the recipe for an untapped new brand of literature - exploring the lives of the common men of India. Genius Idea. Surely.7. Sounds quite grand, if you ask him!The Execution:1. Having worked out his grand role thus, this self-appointed common man's author sits down to write.2. He doesn't realize this, but the role he has assigned makes it very easy for him to crank out book after book with almost minimal effort.3. He might be able to finish an entire plot in one sitting. After all exposing cliches as reality (without getting into the complexities that make them a part of life) is his role.4. He is surprised at the ease with which he is able to do this. His characters just seem to spring out of nowhere and fade into nothingness between the covers, doing exactly what he bids them in between. Complete mastery. Which author can boast of that?5. Conclusion: Must be a genius.( Bonus: He discovers that he is now also an expert in every national issue and can pontificate effortlessly. He does not realize that anyone can have an opinion, and by being allowed to mouth off on them, he is not being treated like an expert, but as a celebrity. Being a celebrity in this country is license to be an expert on anything, and he gets disproportionate voice in the media, though usually a shrill and mildly pompous one. He becomes hated by the intellectual community of the country for this. Geniuses are always hated, right? Hence conclusion is reinforced

I loved the movie adaptation and the book was even better! I did question if Riya loved Madhav, but I think she loved him in her own way, that didn’t need to be shown yet, she kept herself safe from that. Honestly the book is so cute and somewhat funny but also sad. I loved it so much, probably will read it again ❤️

Loved the book, Bought it after seeing the movie on Netflix. Was wondering if I should buy the book based on the negative feedback from some of the reviewer.Happy with the buy. The book is very close to the story in the Movie.The Book does not compare to Novels written by western authors, But in all the book was a great read. would recommend reading the book first before seeing the movie, To avoid being disappointed in seeing the same storyline twice.

Bouno.

What an amazing book, the idea of never giving up comes through in the book. Amazing plot twists, realism and etc. The ending however could have been a little better!

Very touching novel. Very real issues experienced by migrants...spoke to issues experienced by women ,rural towns and their struggles, highlighted the economic n political issues experienced in many rural areas. Most importantly it speaks to one person's determination to improve these issues and to fight for the love of his live. Lots of live lessons were learnt, never run away from your problems somehow one day you will have to face them.People dislike and discourage what they don't understand once you believe in your heart don't let people dissuade you.....Finally there are still some good people with big hearts out there...Not sure if this was a true story but great technique Chetan
