Wonderful read
Picked up the book from flipkart and read it when i was travelling via train. Amazed by the flow of the book, i read it in one go and finished it off.
The book has a totally different plot as compared to the other fictions of Indian writers. It talks about how a person needs to focus and live life without hurting anyone coz the world is ROUND. Sameer, the main character of the book attaches to u and gains sympathy from the reader coz of his every year accidents and 3 months recovery processes. And then lives his further 1 year with lots of problems, issues and discomforts.
A wonderful book to be read at one go, with crisp short sentences and cheesy language which helps u stick with it till the end for sure :)

Loved this novel. Great characters.
What I liked the best that unlike all other commercial books, this has characters facing real problems and real situations. Everything done in an excellent narrative

The details were crispy and character potrayed brought out the humor... Amazing storyline but still it could have been improved!

We appreciate the author Rohit Gore for a wonderful book which a reader would love to read at one go. A book with a wonderful flow, cheesy lines, meeting the intellectual level of Sameer Sathe and the readers. A light read for book lovers :)

Awesome book. I loved the story, the characters and the events!!

Thriller mixed with drama. Teaches you a lesson after every chapter!

Witty lines don't give you time to react! Cheesy stuff keeps you glued to it until you finish the last page!!
