One night @ the call centre - Chetan Bhagat


A let down after the hugely popular 'Five point someone', this book isn't as engrossing as the first one. It starts off well, but seems dragged a bit in between and gets very predictable at the end. One very visible difference between the two books being that while FPS was very much autobiographical, One night... seems to be a researched book and the effort becomes very evident.
The story revolves around Shyam, Priyanka, Vroom, Esha, Radhika and Military uncle and their one frustrating night at the call centre. The male bonding (the USP of the first book) works again and the humour between Shyam and Vroom is enjoyable, but the girls could have been presented better. Military uncle in hardly in the picture...
Could have been better....
