2 States – CB did not click this time

Well, I got disappointed with the topic CB chose, one more love story in market. For the people who like love stories might have different opinion and would love to know their views on the book. Its just CB’s writing style compelled me complete the book otherwise it’s pathetic, unrealistic. Its high time CB should write realistic stories.
The only good thing about the book is writing style which has already clicked and only one thought in book, the present generation of India should go for inter cast, interstate, inter religion marriage so that next generation of India will be only Indian.

Well i clearly agree with you, if CB continues to write such bookd i think he has to hunt for job again. I read the book by the authors name, and somehow i managed to complete the book thats great achievment :) i just read it because i like CB's books (2 states is exception).

The book is like other normal love story, which is like typical bollywood movie. The social issues are handelled in unrealistic way, too much miracles are happening with one person.

Anyways i wish all the best to CB for his next book, and hopefully he takes up intresting topic this time.

I do not completely agree with you! What do you mean by "realistic stories", thats pretty abrupt and abstract! And any story when weaved out as a fiction will have an amount of imaginery content! and i do believe CB didnt cross that limit!
See when you read CB book's keep in mind:
1. He is not a hardcore fiction writer, just a entertainment writer whose fits in the thought waves of the younger generation. About his writting style he keeps it lot simple and with lots of humour he compels the reader to read the book with limited interruptions.
2. He sometimes ridicules the hypocritic and certain old fashioned ideas that has developed in our society over a period of time. Thats it! dont search for any messages!
