The book author, Chetan Bhagat had to say in beginning of the book "kahani puri filmi hai" :P Story has IIMA as a background... n later it's all about life after college which shows a struggle to get your in-laws fall in love with you. :P
Book is good and enjoyable initially but for some places, the plot seems too loose. The author has tried sketching characters very nicely but drastically failed, especially with characters of boy's parents. Few things @ climax are not at all digestible... A person who never had any respect of emotions for his wife becomes pretty much sensitive for character of gal... n tat into a dramatic way! Also ending of story is not convincing about the changes in view points regarding Ananya in the last of few pages of the book.
Overall an average read with 2.5 out of 5...

I read first book of Mr. Chetan Bhagat & now understood perfectly why we got 2 movies from his earlier books in bolloywood.
I think Mr. Chetan Bhagat can be a real good script writer for Hindi Movies...I bet his combination with Mr. Vidhu Vinod Chopra will be superb..
Anyways as far as book goes the plot is real good..Marriage of two highly educated inttelactual ppl from two totally different states of India..Good Idea..
I think author has made a very strong point of National Intigrity through the marriages of Inter-state level in a very lite manner chocolate raped it in story which contains IIT,IIMA campus, Sex Before Marriage, Marriage after having sex also (with the same girl!!!!!), Tamilnadu, Carnatic Music, Tamil Brahmins, Punjabis, Paneer, Dispaired Parents etc etc
I liked going through book...it was very hillarious at many places...Let me mention it I laughed even though I was Home Alone reading the book...
Chetan Bhagat Makes discription of story in such a fashion that you can definately see the movie running on the BIG Screen of your Mind Multiplex...
All in All a very good book with a very gr8 message...that Just Get Married to a Girl/Boy in Different State (If you are Still Unmarried!!!) very nicely for the sake of National Integration of State called "INDIA"...
