The girl in room 105 by Chetan Bhagat: spoiler free book review


Honestly speaking, I'm not a very big fan of Chetan Bhagat's writing because it includes some typical cheesy romantic plots that I usually hate. But this book is different as it is not a love story but a thriller murder mystery. I was always doubtful about reading any of CB books. I only decided to read this because I wanted a light read and needless to say, I don't regret the decision. I can surely say that this is the best CB book I've read so far (I've only read two books!!!).

Well, the story is about a guy Keshav Rajpurohit who, inspite of completing his IIT, didn't got a reputed job and is teaching mathematics in tution classes. He had  girlfriend, Zara Lone, a beautiful Muslim girl but they broke up a few years ago. The girl has moved on, but Keshav still misses her and is deeply in love with her.

The first 30-50 pages get really boring as it is a mellodrama about Keshav missing his girlfriend and crying all day. One night, however, on Zara's birthday, she messages him that she misses him and to come and wish her a happy birthday in her room 105 in her hostel. He goes there and his life completely changes after that.

Zara is found dead in her room and his best friend Saurabh tells him to leave her alone and run away but Keshav refuses. He finally decides to call her father and police.

The rest of the story covers a thrilling adventure of Keshav and Saurabh finding out Zara's killer and they find it. However, I won't tell you who the killer is as you would definitely curse me for unfolding this to you!!!

But, when reading any of CB's books, you should not expect any deceny in his language as there are too many abusive words. So, in my opinion, this is a good one time read and if you are a mystery lover, you can surely give it a go!!!

Have you read this book?? If yes, do tell me if you liked it or not!!!
