If God was a banker

Author : Ravi Subramani

Read three novels on a trot in a week..blame it on the boring lectures or what..all in the classroom...sitting last bench...thanks to "strategy" classes in this term!!!

this one was in the list. Just got a hand over to this one from a friend. Story of two IIMians who starts their careers in a same bank and move up the ladders at a fast pace. The difference being the attitude of both guys, one being a "shareef" one and the other I-will-move-up-at-any-cost type.

Novel was decent, as usual its written in the same simple manner, the enggs/mbas write. No flowery or keep-a-dictionary-handy vocabulary. The only flaw is the write thought that the way to write a great novel is having a "scene" after every 20-25 pages else the novel won't move ahead. IT ends with the same good guy wins theme. Nevertheless, it wasa good time pass in class when I compare it to the boring lectures.

Thanks Rahul for giving me this novel!!

MY view : can be read once

PS : written by an IIM alumni!!
