A superb mix of cricket, religion,love, facts and witty one-liners sets the book "The 3 mistakes of my life" apart from rest of the books by Chethan Bhagat. This item number is a sure shot hit and will stay in your mind for quite some time.
The story deals about the friendship between 3 guys in ahmedabad and what they go through over a period of 2 years. The best part of the story is that the progressions in the story are laid seamlessly with the backdrop of certain facts like earthquake in gujarat and the communal riots that took place in gujarat. The characters are interesting and like other books of chethan, this too is a film material :) :)..but, i think its hardly possibe due to the politics involved in it.
Coming to the characters, the best one of this book is Vidya. Every scene involving vidya is cleverly written and leaves a smile on your face. Through Vidya's character, the writer chalks out the complexities in understanding the different meanings of different terms like friends, just friends, good friends, more than good friends used by girls. Through the character of Govind, the writer describes the dilemna of a love struck boy in understanding these terms which all mean the same to him :) . The lengthy climax of the novel is written in a very filmy way, this happens to be the best part of the writing...u can easily visualize things happening in front of your eyes and if it were to be really happening on the screen, i am sure most of you would be whistling endlessly..
Having read all 4 novels of chethan, some of the common points seen are
1. The female protagonists are mentally stronger than their counterparts
2. The lead couple make love for first time in wierdest of situations
3. The villians are always the senior citizens :)
4. its always happy endings !! ( though it seems forced in 3 mistakes)
This one is worth a read
