Book Summary of Above Average

Arindam Chatterjee floats from the middle-class security of his home in East Delhi to the fiercely competitive world of the Indian Institute of Technology and onwards to the East Coast of the US. He encounters rock musicians and coaching-class nerds, mathematical geniuses and ountaineers, ill-fated underachievers pursuing big dreams and overachievers who are never satisfied. On his journey he begins to realize that his life is a confused tangle of ambitions and aspirations, some attainable, some not and some hanging tantalizingly in between. Imbued with a gentle humour, and lauded for its honesty and lucid prose, Amitabha Bagchis bestselling debut novel is a story of adulthood being forged out of adolescence; a story about wanting, always wanting, without necessarily knowing why you want.

Nice Read

At first i was a bit skeptical about this book considering it to be yet another book by a iit graduate who got himself into writing following an ill trend. What immediately strikes one while reading this book is the extent of honesty that the author brings to the book. None of the plots are overdone and the subtle emotions are presented as they come. But that leaves with one downside; it geeks. Having grown up in the 90's and being a geek at the core myself can relate to the protagonist on several levels. One of those books you like because you forge a strong bond with the characters.lovely read.

Very much above average

Simply put, a novel which does full justice to the engineering student life and a million times better than the 'other' obnoxiously popular and really ordinary novel about IIT life. A beautifully crafted story about the engineering hostel life and the indecisiveness of youth aimed at the folks for whom that 'other' novel is not their first ever read.
