Book Title:
The book title ‘The Stupid Somebody' is quite interesting.

The Stupid Somebody is a book that makes you look at relationships with glasses of modern reality. It isn’t about philosophical aspects of love or poetry of romance, it rather gives a more practical view of how relationships actually exist in present time, and what one has to go through to win in their life and win the heart of their loved ones. It’s not a fairytale story where you like each other and marry. Marriage is never between two people, it is between two families. This book is rather about the hardships one faces while turning their love story into a fairytale.
The story is narrated by Rohit, a man who is in his prime time of life, where dreams, career, and love, all clash at the same time. He can’t choose one, so he learns to juggle!
The book is filled with motivational thoughts. You’ll find something to think over in every chapter, something that may lift up your spirits. This is one of those stories that tell you, “Yes, you can!”
In the end all I have to say is that, if you’re looking for a mood lifting light read that also happens to be a lovey dovey tale of fighting against all the odds, go for the book.

Firstly, the cover is amazingly designed and the title of the book is very interesting, which attracted me initially.
The plot is very interesting; an initial cute and gloomy side of childhood and school life and friendship is being portrayed in a very nostalgic manner. The mention of the dream that Rohit, the main character had was strong. Sherly, the female main character is very attractively portrayed. All the other characters are realistic.
There's a very relatable yet dreamy love story being told.
I loved how firmly the struggles, the ups and downs, and the hard work is portrayed.
The story didn't lose its grip until the very end for me. Extremely catchy and a definite page-turner.
The author has done great work in portraying it in a sense that I find it realistic enough.
I wish to see more of the author's work.
Much love.

The Stupid Somebody totally defines every relation and the obstacles one go through in each of them. The childhood events author mentioned in the book are at their utmost precision. One can never truly understand what bullying makes a child even an adult feel like, unless they went through same. It shatters the confidence and the psychological shifts can last for life, unless one work upon them. This world is full of discouragers, they will create opinions, they will laugh at you and if it concerns you it should be like an inspiration to prove them wrong and not agreeing upto them. The thing I loved most is when it says, you should do something not for anyone else but for yourself. And last but not least "true love triumphs over all'. This is a hugely inspiring tale of becoming Somebody from Nobody.
Way to Go Rohit Sir! Many congratulations!

This is one of the first fiction books I have read till the end. Book once I took in my hand and started reading was unable to put down. Oh my, my.. The characters Rohit and Sherly. Loved both of them! And in the first few chapters, chemistry of Rohit and Birju was just so very connecting.
Wanted more of mystery man though. Dear author Mr. Rohit Dawesar, bring him more in your next books.
In short, heart wrenching. :)

Stupid somebody by Rohit Dawesar
This is an inspiring love story. Rohit, our portagonist stammers while talking since childhood and gets made fun of for the same. That is why he dreams of one day being stutter free and commanding the attention of a packed auditorium. On the road to accomplishing his dream, he meets Sherly and they fall in love and decide to get married. Sherly's parents however reject him as he doesn't have a stable job. Will Rohit and Sherly's ever get married? Will he be able to achieve his dreams?
"Nothing worth having comes easy" is the mantra this story tries to convey. The narration is crisp and clear. The characters are well developed. I especially liked how positive Rohit's character was shown to be as a child, who knew how to laugh at himself. The language is simple and has some common Hindi words. Overall a good book which has a nice mix of motivation, humour and ofcourse Romance. Must read for all the romance lovers.

The Stupid Somebody is a motivational and inspirational book. Rohit motivates you to overcome "YOUR" fear and also inspires you to be the best "YOU".
.
Though this book is a love story, I tend to look at it as self help genre book. Those who cannot help themselves, Nobody can help them. A love story that begins with passionate love and proceeds with the regular ups and downs in life. It revolves with 2 people mad in love fighting with their own Mind and Heart, ending up loosing the battle with Heart.
A book worth spending time with...

The best thing about the book that I liked the most is that how the author described the innocence of the characters. This is the story of love, friendship and dream. "Love is a magical thing" and the author described it perfectly. The readers can rejuvenate theire childhood once again while reading this book. Even the description and the conversations between the characters portraited perfectly.
The cover is really beautiful and the language is simple.
A must read book.

The book is about Rohit who is a stammer and eventually becomes a motivational speaker professionally. The story is his journey, how he finds the love of his life, loses her, how supportive his friends and family are, finds solace in spirituality and much more.
I loved how the author has tried to be as realistic as possible. He has tried to balance out love, relationships like mother-son, sister-son, friendships and career in this book. However I found the book to be a little dragged in the middle. It picks up the pace and becomes engaging in the last few chapters.
Overall the book is fun and makes a good light read.

The thing I loved most about the book is its characters. They're filled with flaws, but not willing to give it up. I enjoyed how they conquered their fears, fought their way through the hardships and reached to their destination. It is a book filled with hope, motivation and healing.
"when going gets tough, tough gets going." And this book's character Rohit actually proves it. By winning his demons and getting the love of his life. As I read somewhere - "Hope is a dangerous thing, it helps us to keep going."

Join Rohit in his journey as he sets off to conquer the greatest obstacle of his life, and how on the way he finds out that his childhood dream was the thread connecting everything happening to him in his life. Will he lose her on this journey of his lifetime?
My Review:
I will start this by quoting “If you want to make everyone happy stop breathing”. Yes, this story is about a stutter who wishes to succeed in his both personal and professional life. This is the tale of Protagonist Rohit who is in process of turning his dreams into reality and winning his childhood love maggie/Sheryl, with a lot of twists n turns. Unlike the traditional love story, it has portrayed every relation like brother_sister, mother_son, father_daughter, lovers and friends. This book efficaciously carries out the required warmth, at few places readers will experience tear drops from their eyes. Uniqueness of the book is that the author has never left any feasible instant to justify the title.
Most importantly when we run out of ideas during any crucial decision making situation or to come out of any hesitation in our life, we look forward a super force to drive us towards correct path. Not to spoil further in one line “Amritsar Golden Temple” episode stands highlight in the plot. Authors plan in bringing tale inside tale is super awesome approach which brings in more attention by the readers.Not to miss mentioning few highlights without deface of the treatise as said blow.
Points to ponder:
1. When life throws in a situation to choose between passion or partner, choose wisely.
2.Human malady is not a barrier in achieving the dream
3. What’s meant to be will always find a way
4. Never miss pinch of humour in your life.
5. Life is like a roller coaster, live it, be happy, enjoy every moment.
Cover:
Next pinnacle of the book is the cover, In a Yellow background which is a huge dias with a single microphone in the middle and assemblage waiting for the discourse and “Golden Temple” in the background throws some hints on “Amritsar” connection
Ratings:
Carrying more p-p-p-p-positivism and c-c-c-c-creativity to the readers and s-s-s-s-simple narration, s-s-s-swift flow, c-c-c-captivating vocabulary, l-l-l-l-l-life learning lessons, h-h-h-humor punch, e-e-e-e-emotional jigsaw, r-r-r-r-romance and l-l-l-l-love, I rate “The Stupid Somebody – Rohit Dawesar” a 4.5/5. Rather calling it a love / romantic story I will place this book in “Self-help” shelf. This book is a must onetime read by any bibliophile specially for those who are looking to make their spirits high and become successful in their life.
Word to author:
Few places needs an elaborated approach and some places needs crispness.
Hope you take care in your upcoming book.
PS: Do follow author’s page for “The Nano Tales” series in Facebook which has much more to offer to his readers in the form of motivation, tickle and makes you think. As a honest reader, I sincerely waif for his next book.
I tried my level best not to spoil the plot to the readers. By any way if you felt so, it was not intentional but is to express & highlight the same.

The Stupid Somebody
Not everyday we come across novels belonging to romance genre which touch our hearts or motivate us.
Cover is beautiful, it has been designed well.
Title is catchy, it's unique, concept is nice & has been kept concise.
Theme talks about freedom, love, sex, family, relationships, society, human tendency, traditional mindset, families, motivation, heartbreak, sadness, joy, happiness, struggle, void, despair, hope, faith, belief, trust, god & many other aspects embedded together nicely into a good novel.
Story is Rohit & Sherly, their love story with lots of ups & downs, how their life chances on every instant. The struggles they had to go through just for acceptance. It talks about how a man's basic ailment or audio impairment leads to huge humiliation throughout his life & also a means of mockery entertainment in front of the society. I won't talk much about the story nor discuss about it, as you must read to find out the complete story on your own.
The motivation & inspiration intended to the readers is good. The quotes extrapolated at certain places is also good & passes the intended message to the readers.
However, this book certainly has many drawbacks. Now coming to the drawbacks which made it difficult & at times, totally unpleasant to read the book. The story & the content seems overstretched beyond the requisite amount. It has been prolonged unnecessarily. The entire plot, concept has been monotonous since the start.
It was added with the lack of synchronisation at certain places while reading the book. The lack of timeline judgement, that is, the mismatch of potential plot lines when moving from one section of the story to another was totally off-sync.
This could be easily traced when the narration of the male character switches to the female one. There's clearly a lack in the streamline context coupled with the lackadaisal way of storywriting & storytelling.
The story lacked the requisite punch to touch my heart. Something seemed off when I was proceeding towards the completion of the book.
Language is simple, okay, easy to read & understand. Narration is poor. It lacks overall synchronisation & beat is off.
Overall, an okay onetime read. Though, I must say frankly that recommending this to the readers would be both tough choice & daunting task!
Not everyday we come across novels belonging to romance genre which touch our hearts or motivate us.
Cover is beautiful, it has been designed well.
Title is catchy, it's unique, concept is nice & has been kept concise.

Often many of us have a pre conceived notion about Love, life, failures, expectations, etc and we tend to feel that it doesn't happen elsewhere but only in our lives. In reality, God seems to lack originality and if He, at all, contributes to our destiny, then definitely he puts us all through same kind of crisis and struggles.
The Stupid Somebody is all about individual grappling against his destiny and at some point against his own perspectives.
Rohit, the protagonist,deals with a speech defect that lowers his confidence as a kid but also drives him to inturn motivate countless like him who seek inspiration from outside. Amidst this struggle he finds love of his life, Sherly. Life for Rohit becomes a dream come true, but as dreams diffuse upon wakening, the story turns sides leaving Rohit shattered but also, the same pain helps him pull out his insecurities, his perception of life that makes him disabled to express.. But all's well that ends well. It winds up on a happy note.
There were some places (2, to be exact) I felt a bit disconnected from the flow of storytelling and juggling between the characters. Besides that, the story
is quite unique with recited with optimally built up suspense. There is a tinge of humor that makes the reading enjoyable.
As the purpose of the story is to make the readers oscillate emotionally, one definitely is motivated towards the end. Also, the illustrations that are used to simplify the motivational concepts catch a lot of attention.
A comprehensible read as a self help book that acts as a spur to readers; entertaining since it is blended with a tale that one can connect to, as compared to other inspirational books which mostly people find 'boring' due to usage of some incoherent words.

You don't like reading books ?
You don't believe in yourself ?
You don't believe In love ?
You don't believe in realness of relations ?
To get over all mentioned problems pick The Stupid Somebody.
No difficulty can discourage, no obstacle dismay, no trouble dishearten the man who has acquired the art of being alive. Difficulties are but dares of fate, obstacles but hurdles to try his skill, troubles but bitter tonics to give him strength; and he rises higher and looms greater after each encounter with adversity.
From the cover to storyline everything is perfect. Story is so relatable. This story revolves around Rohit, Sherly and Maggie. Typical Indian love story : Crushes and relationships. Rohit wants to be a successful trainer with good speech skills. An almost impossible wish for him because he is a stutter by voice but story make sure that nothing is impossible , if you just have a strong willpower.
Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe.
Story is very simple and relatable, full of interesting characters. Sherly's is negative and she is the main hindrance in Rohit's success. Emotions : childhood , love , relationship and all the obstacles described in such a relatable manner.
You're a slow reader ? Fine pick this to boost your sitting time and you can read this in just a sitting. I read this last Sunday in a day (4-5 hours).
Prologue and epilogue are perfect a crisp narration. Language is lucid and simple even perfect for beginners.
Only one negative point : Binding of book , completely damaged while reading.

So here’s another disappointing, over hyped story with fake ratings and mis guiding reviews.
As soon as I saw the book I fell in love with it. Author’s bio actually made me excited to read it as soon as possible, only to stop it mid way and never to touch it again.
This is your typical Indian love story, starts with all the crushes and love at first sight, struggles between career and profession, ends with compromise and parents involvement.
The only thing I liked about this story is how the male lead (Rohit) over comes his struggles, his weakness, his childhood which many other are actually living. That is the only part which will make you at least finish the story.
Title:
Is good, can relate with the story.
Cover:
Kudos! It’s beautiful and Loved itm
Plot:
Your typical Indian Love story, with fistful of motivation and a story with a reality ending. Average plot.
Writing:
This is where author lost me. It’s poorly written, badly edited, used horrible descriptions, too many grammatical errors. I am not a grammar Nazi, still I found the writing cringe worthy.
So many times author describe the emotions so poorly I wanted to stop reading it.
It’s a debut novel, I wish author had hired a better editor. With improved language I would love to read more from this author.
Overall:
So overall it wasn’t a good experience for me.
Ratings:
⭐⭐⭐ 3/5

The Stupid Somebody by Rohit Dawesar is a moving story about a young boy having speech limitations ie. stammering. The reader gets a glimpse into the problems he encounters everyday in dealing with something that we all take for granted.
Meshed with love and relationships and emergence of the concept of self forms the whole crux of the story.
The language of the novel is easy and most people can understand it. The novel though moves at a steady pace, as a reader I felt that there were gaps in trying to understand the character of Maggie/ Sherly as to what was her mental state and why she took certain decisions in her tumultuous years. This lack of POV of the other side makes me feel that the story is missing a little bit of something. My best guess is that for the sake of brevity, the author may have not wanted to give too much of emotional drama to the reader. Other than this, do pick up the book and read. You will be able to relate to the upheavals of the protagonist.
It is available in Paperback and ebook format on Amazon India

This book is a perfect combination of dreams, love and all the hurdles which usually comes in between.I read each and every line of it nd my emotions just flows with it. It makes me believe in the magic of love. I read this book 3 times nd not a single time I felt bored. Just loved this book❤❤

The blurb made me believe that this wasn’t a typical Indian book as it was supposed to talk about the obstacles the protagonist faces because of something he can’t control— his speech. I was really looking forward to see how the author describes the insecurities, the break down, the concept of rising after falling multiple times, the journey towards his DREAM. I thought this book is for the dreamers, to make them feel assured and even encourage them to follow their path. It was, unfortunately, none of these things.
The idea behind the book was to provide motivation and even though it had the potential to do so, the narration, cringeworthy lines, basic writing style and average plot made it just another cliche love story with a fistful of motivation.
There was no symbolic imagery that could make me live the story, I couldn’t connect to the characters. And even though the notion was to create realistic characters, all we got was two dimensional characters with no development whatsoever.
Rohit’s character had so much potential, the author could have been descriptive about the inner turmoil he goes through to make us understand how he feels. He could’ve been a relatable inspiring character but unfortunately he wasn’t.
The authors need to jump from one scene to another made me loose connection to the story. The writing style wasn’t intriguing and then the pace was what cut all the ties between me and the world the author created.
There were a lot of references, some were funny, some were irrelevant and some were completely unpleasant.
Also, you do not use an operating system to provide juxtaposition between two humans. That was uncalled for.
What starts as a story of a person dealing with a speech problem vaguely transforms into a cliche love story with meaningless conversation and cringey dialogues.
I was expecting insightful life lessons which I didn’t get, All I ended up reading was a love story where the actual journey was sidelined.
I also didn’t get the idea behind the whole speech of telling people to be “the stupid somebody”. I couldn’t relate to it at all.
And also what could’ve been Rohit’s victory moment, where we could have heard what he wants to say, all we got was rushed sequence with irrelevant dialogues and a Les brown quote. I would’ve appreciated it more if the author used his own thoughts rather than using a motivational quote, which isn’t wrong, but makes Rohit’s character unoriginal and unrelatable.
Also, this book needs heavy editing.
I didn’t want to sound harsh but I also didn’t want to sugarcoat anything.
Considering that this was authors first book, I’d give him credit for coming up with a character with a speech problem, not many people do that.
Maybe people can relate to him. Just because I didn’t, doesn’t mean you won’t.

Review:
This story is an optimistic read. It reflects life in a positive way.
The characters are very strong, especially Rohit character is very potential.
There is nothing called illusion in this story. It portrays the reality that every human being is facing to achieve his/her dream and love life.
Sometimes the narration is dragged which is spoiling the pace and it’s very hard to relate his love life with his personal medical issues. The connectivity is missing in that part.
At the beginning it starts like a motivational read but I don’t know when in turned into a typical Bollywood love story.
Overall it’s an one time read.

The Stupid Somebody is mainly about Rohit Sharma. Rohit is victim of stuttering and hence leading him to be a sufferer of constant teasing and all those orthodox methods. But the thing that makes the protagonist special is his perseverance. He aspires to speak fluently, someday, in front of millions. The book isn't just about this as maximum number of protagonists fall in love in fictions. Now starts a typical Indian love story, YES, parents' denial and the hurdles which is common to every relationship. There are many characters in the book and they all are portrayed well. Though the beloved of the protagonist, Sherly's character is stereotyped, as shown in most of the Bollywood movies . The way author generalized the "girl" community thoughts based on one isn't pleasing at all.
But the story made it's way to my heart! The start is so stretched out and monotonous but it gets better and better as you turn the pages. The way author portrays the protagonist is compelling. The journey of fulfillment of that one dream, is captivating!
Coming to the writing style, I wasn't that impressed. Books for me is about how the author expresses the emotions of his/her characters through words, making you feel those. But ample of times I couldn't feel it. But as a debut novel it's great. I think one more reason can be my lack of interest in romance genre.
3.5/5 for me!
If you love romance or motivational genres then go for it!

The book starts looking like an authors personal memoir, but then as the story progresses, it turns out to be an entertaining saga of a boy and a girl who are deeply in love with each other and their self belief what makes their love story complete.
The story is set in the city of Indore, it’s about a boy who has a problem of stuttering while speaking and how he overcomes it and becomes a fully fledged motivational speaker. It’s also about a love story between this boy and a girl whom he liked since childhood and all the drama that comes with all love stories. Like the parents are against their relation etc. It gives a message that if you believe in something very passionately, then you are bound to get it no matter what.
Initially when the book starts, it appears to be the authors own biography and own love story. But, then as it progresses, as the story takes twists and turns, it becomes more interesting and fun to read. It has all the aspects of an entertaining commercial pot boiler, it has love, it has humor, it has suspense, it has its own tense moments, and then it is motivating to some extent too.
The book, specially the second half becomes difficult to keep down, it is well paced, it is not boring at all and you would want to continue with the next chapter as soon as the first one finishes, making it a nice light and entertaining read.
Overall, the book is a refreshing one to read especially after a stressful and hard day’s work. It is not heavy on the content, it’s very easy to read, no tough vocabulary or jargons are used, perfectly suitable for all readers, novice as well as bibliophiles.
Overall, the book could be well described as a Masala Entertainer with Indori Tadka!

Book starts in an optimistic way - A 12 year old boy showing such a positive attitude of not taking life too seriously, looking after positives in everything in life including his stammering - though it is his deepest pain which is tearing him apart inside. Even though he is struggling inside to cope with it, he doesn’t want to show the world that he is a victim of some communication impairment.
Childhood love story was very well written in a pleasing manner that will make you recall and cherish those fresh irreplaceable feelings you had experienced in your school days. Then the actual love story starts in a pleasant way that retains your attention with ups and downs and especially with that delightful twist in between that surprises you in a cute way. Everybody wishes for that twist to occur in their lives. And then the tough phase of life that everyone would have faced because of Love - about the things love does to Humans. And then comes the best part of the book – how our protagonist overcame his stammering and became a Motivational Speaker. This was hidden to us at the beginning and placed at the right place in the end that comes as a surprising element. The battle, Protagonist had to fight to defeat his speech disorder. How did he finally conquer it?
Every chapter was placed in an ideal sequence that gives no scope for deviations. There is not even a single page which was unnecessary. Reader will get hooked to the narration from the beginning to the end. You would never get a feel of reading a debut author’s book. Life of that stupid who became somebody by going through what most of us all would have gone through or will go through – struggles, insults, heartbreaks etc.,
An inspirational tale filled with emotions in every page of the book.

The book starts with Sherly arriving at Rohit’s home to present her wedding invitation. And then the story traces back to past, Rohit’s childhood days where Rohit develops crush on Maggie, his teachers’ daughter. Eventually it turned to love and is also crushed. Though Rohit was just like everyone, he has a weakness which he had to overcome.
In the further days, he freelances as a motivational speaker. He then comes across Sherly, who was waiting to turn his world upside down. Who is she?? What was the bond they both shared?? Did Rohit overcome his weakness?? Was he able to make his dream come true??
The book takes you on a roller coaster ride of emotions like love, heartbreak, longing, failure, inspiration, loss etc. Every characters were pitched so well that everyone are relatable like Birju, Harry, Rohit’s mom etc. Also the story is well narrated and the incidents where Rohit cry over his mom’s words and the concept of joining the apples are close to heart.
Pros :
1. The character of Rohit is inspiring and it passes on a message that nothing is impossible.
2. The book proves to be a motivational read.
3. The cover, title are eye catchy and apts so well with the story. The blurb is intriguing without giving much detail about the story.
Cons :
1. The plot could have been enhanced as it remains as the regular romance tale with a pinch of motivation.
2. At times, the book lacked the essence to hold back the readers to it.

Let's talk about the title and cover of the book .Both are catchy and aptly selected. Language is simple. Narration is medium paced. Plot is a blend of love and motivation. Characterization is good and each character has equal weightage.
what I liked?
I liked the way the protagonist fights to overcome his childhood weakness in order to achieve his dreams.
The immense love between the lead characters has been portrayed well.
The description of the moon, sherly or the roadways is awesome.
The message that author tries to deliver no matter what one needs to motivate "oneself in order to achieve one's dreams" is the key factor.
I loved the last chapter and the climax as I was able to relate to it.
what I didn't like?
The book has a few grammatical errors that spoils the essence of the book. so it needs to go for a re-editing.
Conclusion
A wonderful emotional story that has been beautifully woven to take the reader on a rollercoaster ride of love,dreams and humour.
Overall a good inspirational read.

The Stupid Somebody is a story of Rohit's life journey .
Just as a caterpillar transforms into a beautiful butterfly Rohit's is a simple relatable boy and becomes Hero after facing and overcoming his struggles by the end of story .
Though it appears to be a love story of Rohit and Sherly, as a major portion of book is dedicated to love phase but it has motivational message for leading/living life during testing times.
Boy meets girl, love at first sight, everything is fine till initial love period is over, then pain of being in love, getting parents approval, failing in love to respecting other person's decision, struggle to win life by accepting ones own flaws, fighter instincts to work against all odds overcoming obstacle to achieve something, family and friends support during testing times, being goal oriented in life and having faith and also in the process wins back his love .
In the end it is OK to be stupid somebody sometimes in life rather than being serious all the time.
Overall it's a good book for weekend reads.
