Tonight is Thanksgiving in America, and customers are queuing up to complain about white goods going wrong. On this night of a thousand phone calls, when life couldn’t look more dismal, one unique caller gets on the line. And that call is going to change everything …A romantic comedy of six friends kicking against the system, against their boss, and against each other. Something’s got to give …

Terrible English accent

Terrible English accent leads to poor customer experience.
A prolific writer like Chetan Bhagat should supervise his audiobooks.

listened it all in a single sitting

I found the voice Changing when gender of the speaker changed little unpleasant to my ears.. but it's not a big deal.

the story was great and was interesting. the last twist... the mysterious lady identity... it isn't going off my mind. would like to know. the answer though..

Disappointed !

This a cheap literature book. The book has no literature value. A bad story too!

If you love books by Shakespeare or Ruskin Bond or Dan Brown or JRR Tolkien etc., don't buy this book to waste your time- you've already read better books.

I got this book in Kindle Store for Rs. 5. That's why I bought this. And I struggled with myself to finish this book (only because I always finish a book I start). After reading this book, I've never read another Chetan Bhagat.

The only positive side is the realistic depiction of a Delhi housewife (also call center worker).

This book is unrealistic, bogus and worthless . Was waiting when it will it finish , It was boring

Good, a bit long winded and bad accent from reader

I think the story is not bad however I think it takes a long time to get to where it needs to be. You have to exhaust at least 20+ chapters before it actually gets moving because there is a lot of background information to a lot of the different characters. Ultimately the story take some shape and it is good however, the readers accent on this app is terrible and fluctuates from an Indian, English to American accent and on occasion and accent you will not recognise. I just wish they had a reader who was from India who could do the genuine Indian accent. The problem is sometimes you end up focusing on the readers accent and miss what they are saying. Not bad. Like the end though !
