因为很喜欢电影《三傻大闹宝莱坞》才去看的这本书。但是这本书却远低于我的预期。 从语言上看,也许是翻译的关系,整本书的语言就像中学生记的流水账,没有美感,一直平铺直叙到了最后。没有任何值得回味的段落。 从内容上说,作者以他们仨的几件糗事为载体,写了主人公的友情...
评分当然,小说内容平实,不像电影《3 idiots》那样有笑点,但看完之后,也能反思很多东西。
评分在Pro Cherian的毕业演讲中我的眼睛都湿润了,却发现后来这只是Hari的黄粱一梦。。。OH, MAN, YOU JUST MADE IT!
评分当然,小说内容平实,不像电影《3 idiots》那样有笑点,但看完之后,也能反思很多东西。
评分还可以,看完觉得电影比书好看多了啊!这书太清淡了,就讲了三个不同家庭背景的来到最高学府胡闹的故事,最后告诉我们道理:生活比学分重要,朋友比考试重要!
评分3 idiots的原著,和电影不一样的故事。
