Book Summary of The 3 Mistakes Of My Life

Like all Chetan Bhagat books, 'The Three Mistakes Of My Life' will also strike a chord in your heart. The problems faced by the protagonists, their hopes and aspirations, their life and concerns are oh-so-familiar that you cannot help identifying yourself with the setting, events and situation. And that's perhaps the secret of the book's success.

Summary of the Book

The Three Mistakes of My Life is the story of three youngsters who dream big. The hero of the tale is Govind. Like every youngster in Gujarat – where the story is set – his dream is to be a successful businessman. He joins hands with his closes friends Ish and Omi to open a shop selling cricket equipment. The reason for this business venture is simple – they all consider cricket to be the first priority in life. Ish, a cricket fanatic – has given up his NDA training and is at a loose end. Omi is neither as intelligent nor ambitious as his two friends. All he wants is to escape his pre-ordained destiny of being a temple priest and to hang out with his friends.

The three friends do seem to succeed in their business venture initially. But then life happens. Religion, earthquake, politics and dangerous love push their friendship and their business venture into a downward spiral. Will they pick up the broken pieces and succeed? Or will life refuse to give them a second chance? The book explores whether making mistakes can be fatal and if the dark reality of life can override the passion of an individual's dreams.

A good value for money book - Buying it will NOT be a mistake of your life

When i read other reviews about this book and also enquired with my friends, they were not very happy about this book but when i read this book i felt the same language which we are used to from Chtan's books, yes it is no where near to his works like "Five Point someone" or "2 States" but it isnt bad either, the way he gives background to each character and ties up all the loose ends together is what i like in this book as well, it also touches a few sensitive aspects of Gujrat but also explains how they impact business and people.

On delivery front, i received the book in 3 days, which is pretty fast and the packing was good with no bent edges etc and the price is also good so a thumbs up for that

This is the worst book among the 4 books written by Chetan Bhagat. Its more like a masala movie type novel with every masala (cricket, love, friendship, religion, roits) in it.

None of the books published after "5pointsomeone" from Chetan is worth reading.

masaledar and somewhat sexy

this was the first book or more to say a novel I read in my life. you will be amazed to know i Completed it in 2 days. i could nt control my exitement of what will happen next after reading each chapter. Some good ppoints to understand especially Indian Politics and the most its dark side "politica of religion and caste". Well of all I like thios book and uhh... What can I say more. read it and have some time of exitement of what. surely not only sex. much about emotions. A good piece by Chetan Bhagat. well done..........

could've been better

the book delves into the life of a boy which takes many twists and turns, some more "filmy" than the other...not my personal favorite, after reading 5 point someone and 2 states i expected something better from the author.

Not so up to Chetan's level

First book of [author:Chetan Bhagat|61124]'s which I felt boring...

The prologue of the book was so interesting and I couldn't control from completing the book in 2 days (ya, it is a fast read for me).. But after reading this book, I felt the fourth mistake is me reading this book. It was so boring.

But, the book was not so bad. The story had more twists then any B-grade Bollywood movie..

Not so up to Chetan's level (ya, he has some level in my view)...
