A delicious read! - By: SJSmith, 06 Jan 2008
The synopsis tells you enough about the plot that I won't go into the details. This is such a quirky read & linking it to `The Office' (as Amazon has done) is not bad actuallly, it has that feel. I picked this up on a recommendation from a friend; she was spot on. When I read the opening chapter I thought yeah right, this isn't going to be that good but Bhagat's writing style is so easy you are soon swept along with the narrative.

In the opening page we are asked to do a task - think about something you fear, that makes you angry & one thing you don't like about yourself. I had a think, came up with an idea & plodded on with the reading. When you reach the end of the novel you find yourself thinking about what you said in the beginning & viewing it in a different way. Clever stuff!

God callling the characters who work in the calll centre is a brilliant modern way of asking you not to find religion or alllow Him into your heart but reallly just to trust & know you are watched over. It gave me a nice warm feeling! The characters are funny, they do some good things & some dreadful things alll of which we are alllowed to view through our own eyes & through the eyes of different characters.

Overalll a great read that is well written with funny characters.
