The Three Mistakes Of My Life
In late 2000, a young boy in Ahmedabad called Govind dreamt of owning a business. To accommodate his friends Ish and Omi’s passion, they open a cricket shop. However, nothing comes easy in a turbulent city. To realise their goals, they will have to face it all – religious politics, earthquakes, riots, unacceptable love and above all, their own mistakes. Will they make it? Can an individual’s dreams overcome the nightmares offered by real life? Can we succeed despite a few mistakes?

Based on real events, from the bestselling author of Five Point Someone and one night @ the call center, comes another dark, witty tale about modern India, where Chetan Bhagat brings about the ethos and isolation of an entire generation to the fore.

"... The biggest selling Indian novelist writing in English."

- India Today



Chetan Bhagat is the author of two blockbuster novels- Five Point Someone (2004) and one night @call center (2005)-which continue to top bestseller lists. In March 2008, the New York Times called him the ‘biggest-selling English-language novelist in India’s history’. Both his books have inspired major Bollywood films. One night @ the call center is an international success having been published in the UK, US, and translated into French, Italian, Dutch and Russian.
Reviews of The Three Mistakes Of My Life
*Shallow but an engaging Read
Review by Rahul
I got my copy of the latest book from India's favorite author at the moment. Sure as it is expected - "The 3 Mistakes of My Life" is a racy read - quite engaging, endearing and a fast read.

A good book is one which appeals to the reader's emotions and different levels - this book succeeds in doing that at the first level which is really the "quick entertainment" level of consciousness. However, where this book ends up disappointing is the long connect the characters fail to make with the reader - the book is pretty much the product of "use and throw", "have fun and forget" philosophy. But at the price of Rs 95/- a 3 hour fun is not bad!

Read it to pass time on a hut summer day - bring along a little beer and enjoy! Don't expect any literary genius, don't look for logical connects and the afternoon will be a memorable one, if not the book.
*Enchanting Description
Review by Avaneesh Bajoria
The prelude itself was so captivating that it created platform for the entire storyline. It is the first book that I read completely and wished it lasted for some more time. Very simple language to describe the toughtest of emotions with a tink of humour through the story. GREAT BOOK !.
*Not very entertaining
Review by Shwetha
This book doesn't seem to have the "impact" crated by Five Point Someone. Somehow the narration could have been better. Also the base of the storyline is not very great. But as usual the language is very simple and lucid and the best part is greatest of the emotions are captured in simplest words.
*nt worth..pls read "5.someone"

*an ossam book for teenagers
Review by aesha

*Oh my mistake
Review by Shagun
the 3 mistakes of my life :

1. Im a sucker for books

2. Sucker for sequels

3. I acutually read this book !!! Or I think I went into a deep coma after
which I cannot remember how the book actually ended.

Sometimes, I think a celebrated author has to write just to remain in the news.
Chetan you didnt have to - you had Salman Khan in a movie adaptation of your
book!!

Rating - 2/10 ( Sorry fellas I actually bought the book too )
*a must read for everyone
Review by suddhata arnab
A great book from CHETAN who understands the thinking of indian people.
*Untitled
Review by priyanka
the best thing about the book is govinds love story, true emotions cum out of it.............
*read it to complete the writings of Chetan - nothing much
Review by Ridd
Chetan Bhagat has come out with a book which has got romance, cricket, business, friendship, politics, et al.... There are so many things in a book that one really looses interest and the major loss is the essence of the story that the author wants to put across. The book is a laggard in terms of the other two books written by Chetan. Infact of all the books that he has got published, would suggest reading Five Point Someone.
*Nice book
Review by Manish
Good one from the great stable of Chetan!
*a must read for everyone
Review by nitin
A great book from a writer who understands the thinking of Indian people. An interesting read which goes through every aspect of Indian society. A MUST read.
