Before writing about this novel I checked the previous books and authors, then I got a thought "should I write about this book?" It may not posses the literature value, it may not last more than a decade, but when it can entertain millions of people then why should I say No to it. (I don't believe a complex language and lengthy passages makes a better novel but!!!!!)
Book: Revolution 2020
Genre: Novel-Fiction
Language: English
Author:Chetan Bhagat
Chetan Bhagat is the biggest selling English language novelist in India’s history. He started his carrier with the novel Five Point Someone in 2004 which was an instant success. His language is so simple, the way he portrays the characters are real to life and the sense of humor in his novel gave his a lot of readers and making his works most successful in the recent times.
His works may not possess the definition of a novel or it may miss the literature part of it but it is capable of entertain you in-fact, if you are an Indian it makes you to think about the system and people around you.
About the Book:
Chetan's first work I read was 'One Night at Call Center' which impressed me very much. His style of writing in that book was promising. There was some signs in his early works which showed a writer who can contribute to the literature. But later especially when his works adapted as Bollywood movies he became a screenplay witter for "Bollywood Masala" movies. His latest novel "Revolution 2020" is the perfect example for this. This book resembles more like a script than a novel it has full of conversations between people (I guess which makes it easy for Novel- Script conversion). I suspect that the Management student in him is working now "You write novel which can turn in to movies and make money"
Revolution 2020 is Chetan Bhagat's fifth novel, it deals with the current system which is affected by corruption in the country. He conveys his message by making triangular love story (!!!) where the 2 boys love the same girl and one fight against the corruption and one gives in to it. Both of them chooses their own ways to make her impressed. This novel will be really a fun read if you are stressed at your work. The novel will make you laugh,think and feel. So read it when you are bored, or if you like to watch it on screen then wait for few more months.
