Five Point Someone is a story about three friends in IIT who are unable to cope.

The book starts with a disclaimer, “This is not a book to teach you how to get into IIT or even how to live in college. In fact, it describes how screwed up things can get if you don’t think straight.”

Three hostelmates – Alok, Hari and Ryan get off to a bad start in IIT – they screw up the first class quiz. And while they try to make amends, things only get worse. It takes them a while to realize: If you try and screw with the IIT system, it comes back to double screw you. Before they know it, they are at the lowest echelons of IIT society. They have a five-point-something GPA out of ten, ranking near the end of their class. This GPA is a tattoo that will remain with them, and come in the way of anything else that matters – their friendship, their future, their love life. While the world expects IITians to conquer the world, these guys are struggling to survive.

Will they make it? Do under performers have a right to live? Can they show that they are not just a five-point-somebody but a five-point-someone?

My Review Five Point Someone by Chetan Bhagat is easy and fun to read book.

I read this long back and thought of including a review of it here. I had finished it in a day , was so addictive and I was so curious as to know what will happen next.I did see 3 idiots which is film adaptation of this book and found that book was better than the film. The book is about 3 freshers at at IIT, Hari ,Ryan and Alok who happen to become best buddies, all three of them are from different backgrounds and stick to each other in all ups and downs during their stay at the institute,their five-point something GPAs come in the way of everything-their friendship, their love life, their future.  The book is a funny narration of college student's life on exams, warden, love, sex and almost everything that a student would encounter during his/her college days. This is fun to read, it might remind you of your college days :)I would definitely recommend this book.
