Revolution 2020 1st Edition

or is it? i write this review as a Chetan Bhagat fan. you expect a certain amount of intelligence from him. Revolution 2020 is a huge disappointment. firstly, as I suspect, the title of the book was given solely because when the pre-booking first started, the country was brimming with patriotism and revolutionary emotions due to Anna Hazare's movement. Otherwise, there is absolutely no reason to name the book that, as there is almost no role of Revolution 2020 in the storyline!

normally Chetan Bhagat's books are funny. i remember, in almost all his previous books, there would be a line after every few pages that would make me stop reading for a moment and laugh! Revolution 2020 lacks this as well. the story is perpetually depressing, you just keep waiting for "good times" to happen, which when seem to be approaching, are stopped by a ridiculous twist.

personally, i didn't like the book at all.

Yes, he got India reading. And lots of Indians writing and publishing houses brimming in Dharavi! Personally, I have nothing against the style of the guy, it rather being real trash. There is no growth of writing prowess since his first book;seems rather interested in the movie adaptation of the book and I dont think thats why books should be written. The story is very predictable, few flavours taken out the 'Chanakya Chant' and B grade movies. The recommendations in the foreword are as plain as the book itself and Mr Bhagat seems to have rushed through the book. His previous book was witty and by the heart. This unfortunately is depressing and mostly 'loserly' - a term Mr Bhagat seems to use very often in the book. And for once, dear Mr Bhagat, we would love references outside IIM and IIT. There is a world beyond those institutions and Im hoping you grow out of it. Just to add, I couldnt put myself through the entire book! I rather not rate it!

With lots of hopes ,i'd ordered this book.Once booked i kept keeping a check on the shipping !! once received ,i'v read the book immediately ,but it was a huge turn off!! Even still i am confused ,what he was trying to say. is it that true love will be a failure or only professionally successful people are worthy of it or girls dont have brains to think and they will easily bounce to anyone anytime??:( ...CB had given a greater blow now..his two books one night at call center and 3 mistakes were also pathetic ,and thats when he came up with an excellent "two states" and now again his graph is dipping low!!the book jus sounded like any bollywood triangular love story!! nothing grt..

Mr. Chetan Bhagat, you can definitely make friends out of enemies..... The moment I opened the package and started reading "Revolution 2020" I'm attached to it; The way you pull us into your world is what makes you Special....Kiddies Intro is so cute!!!!! Seldom we find writers who possess such magic in India.... and Thank You for making 'India' READ!!!!!!!!
Flipkart: If you were a guy I would have kissed you!!!! Hehehe... You all @ Flipkart are amazing! Chetan tweeted some 700 people from Flipkart were delivering this book today and I'm bowled!!!
Happy Reading!!!!!

Substanceless.. No Good.. Cliche'd.. run-of-the-mill story.. i want full refund of the money i paid for this book.. i don't even want to bother to rate the book.. but the site does'nt accept review if rating is not given.. so i m giving it a 1 star rating.. despite the fact that it deserves no star at all.. i found reading the book a waste of my precious time and would seriously appreciate a full refund of money..
