About Books of Chetan Bhagat, 2states

I have read Chetan Bhagat, including his latest book "2 states". What amazes me that while there may be hundreds of works done by assorted writers’ but no one has been able to touch readers at the scale as Chetan Bhagat and in such a short time.

Although intellectual people or literary smart people might be perturbed by his popularity, but I think simplicity of the language is one of the biggest strengths that has contributed to the wider readership.

Apart from this I guess the works of Chetan Bhagat are about young people and their lives, so stories get recognized by a lot of people in their personal life also. Like the recent most book that portrays a college student's life and also of somebody who is getting married and mingling between girl's and boy's families’ too, would be similar to a lot of ordinary Indians. So quite naturally people are interested in Chetan Bhagat's books.

One more point is the stories themselves are very interesting, at least to the young Indian readers. Partly due to the reason I described above and partly because the plot is presented in a very interesting filmy kind of style by Chetan Bhagat and Indians love filmy dramas a lot.

The latest book of Chetan Bhagat-2states, is full of drama, it draws a person next door's life and is very readable without any high-sounding vocab.
I liked the book as it was reminiscent of my college days. To clarify not the romance part but lot of other interesting stuff like classes and class humor, heavy work schedules and friends. I know how a groom's mother feels socially above in status than the bride’s family and her possessiveness and insecurity complicates the things, its part of life and not a shade different from as worded in 2states.
But at one point I thought the book went off the track when Ananya refused to trust and budge after Goa visit. That time I thought it was not in accord with Ananya's personality. But I think if that drama was not in between we would perhaps not liked the book as much as we do now. One more thing the ending was good, throughout the book everything was falling in its place so there was not much stress while reading.

Overall I would say, it’s a good book to read for college going and young people. The older generation would have a difference of opinion.
