It was a realistic and mildly-idealistic book. I liked the book's motive to inspire young people and it's theme to challenge your limits. As author himself had a experience of going through tough time during IAS preparation, he tries to teach young turks, the beauty of challenges. As it does not only take you out of your mundane routine but makes you busy and goal-oriented. I liked the author's try to give some insight into political science and some bits of history. Though you may found some lag in story of Aditya and book's message, it was still better read than chick-lit(especially Chetan Bhagat's new books). Author could have made it more interesting if the last part of politics would have written differently.
This book will really inspire the young generation who wants to take new challenge and become "some- body from nobody" same way the Author did in real life. Though the evidence in the book is fictions based, but it does not really matter the struggle of boy from very small place is very real, which will motivates anyone to continue struggle in life until they land in their own dreams.
The philosophical parts seem never ending and uninteresting. I really skipped reading a few!! Rest is fine....very close to what all youngster go through!!!
