5.someone - cover page of the book
Five Point Someone is a story about three friends in IIT who are unable to cope.Three hostelmates - Alok, Hari and Ryan get off to a bad start in IIT - 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 - 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?Can they show that they are not just a five-point-somebody but a five-point-someone? Read to know more...!!

It is a very good book. Its a nice peace of work dealing with three friends, their miserable life at IIT as they start on a wrong note, their friendship which stands all weather and a bit of romance is included as well. Overall its a nice work to read. Go thru it if u haven't!
