OH SHIT! NOT AGAIN, written by Mandar Kokate, has "National BestSeller" printed on it. When I went through this national best seller, I felt that it is a desi extended version of AMERICAN PIE series. It looks like the author has listed down all his fantasies on paper and stitched them absurdly in the same of a 250 page book. Its a B grade masala film story which seems to be partly inspired from to many C grade movies.
Story is about Raj and his 4 friends. Its about what happens with Raj and all posisble girls/ladies around him by the time they plan and execute the ganesha festival in their colony. There is no mention of Ganesha what-so-ever in the book. Though the book tells that they all are students, they dont seem to go to college anyday in the book. It has romance, humour, murder, emotions, feelings and anger, but all in a very bad taste. The funda he gives at the end for choosing one out of the 2 available girls in hand is atrocious and makes u laugh for a very long time. But, it isnt worth to read 250 pages to reach that end :)
This book reminds me of few Kashinath movies where he loads the movie with lewd/vulgar scenes for 2 hours and preaches like a holy samaritan in the last 5 mins. This book is exactly the same!! . If you are a serious book reader, stay away from this. But if you are curious to read a very bad novel for fun, go for it.
On an interesting note, I would like you to read few comments about this book from other readers.
