Chetan Bhagat
Five Point Someone is a story about three friends in IIT who are unable to cope.,The book starts with a disclaimer, â€œThis 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 donâ€™t think straight.â€,Three hostelmates â€“ Alok, Hari and Ryan get off to a bad start in IIT â€“ 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 â€“ 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?
