One Night @ the Call Center

I read this novel back in high school because the concept sounded really interesting and I wasn't disappointed. It's about six people working at a call center in Delhi and the struggles that each one of them face.
Although I don't find Bhagat to be a great writer, I found this book to be enjoyable. I liked Esha, Radhika and Vroom but had difficulty realting ti Shyam and the way he describes Priyanka made me wonder why he loved her in the first place. 
Even though I don't think this is an amazing book, I gave it 4 stars for the new concept and because it was better than the author's other books.

Well, I can't say I enjoyed this book much. I just didn't manage to get into the story and kept waiting to read about the call from God, which came only towards of the book. I thought having worked in a call center would help me relate to the story and the characters but it didn't at all...

A great disappointment.It's about six friends who spend one night at the call center.the god part seemed like a normal moment ,the book doesn't have anything special about it.seemed boring at some parts. yeah you can read it, it has some moments in it- but only SOME. all together,it was just fine..if you're looking for a good read i recommend you to skip this.

I feel so dumb. I feel like the little intelligence I had has been taken away from me. I decided to read this book as an experiment, to judge what Chetan was like, because I heard so much about how terrible a writer he is and all. I apologise to myself for putting myself through this [I can't believe I read till the end.] It was all so lame - the story, the 'jokes', the writing, everything! Never again, is all I can say.

Because lower rating is not available. I washed my hands off Bhagat's literature after reading this one, thank you.
