OH SHIT, NOT AGAIN by Mandar Kokate book review


 Have you ever experienced what happens when a porn movie is mistakenly played in front of your grandma and the CD player refuses to stop?
Have you ever experienced what happens when mixture of vodka and soft drink is served to hundreds of people gathered for a party?
Have you ever experienced what happens when a boy is kicked in the groin by a girl when he attempts to kiss her?
Have you ever experienced what happens when a college-going student has an affair with a married woman whose husband carts a gun? Have you ever experienced what happens when you are conspired into a murder that you had merely witnessed?
        The cover of this book said it's a National Best Seller, and the above abstract written at the back of the book made me to take this book when I was just going through the racks of books at the Crossword. It also held the caution in the first page saying
'Beware before you read......
you may die laughing......'
         But I must say it is a complete dissappointment. The writer could have done a much better job. There is no proper plot. The story is about 5 friends Raj, Aarti, Seema, Sam, Andy. This story is more than vulgar. I wonder how come it ended up as the Indian Best seller. I regretted after reading it. The lead character Raj himself is worse and his friend Sam is the ugliest character I ve ever read. The writer tried copying the style of Chetan Bhagat but he is  miles away from Chetan. Last but not least, if I ever see this book again, I'll just say myself "Oh shit, not again!!!"
