An incredible story with a terrible ending.
After reading the entire book in a span of 3 days as i had to also attend to other important responsibilities I found the book as another Chetan Bhagat kind of novel where the protagonist is a loser, except in his books its a male character and in this book its a female character.
The story is one we see in a TV serial like "Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahi".
The incidents which are reflected upon from entries in her diary by the girl who is all set to end her life sitting on top of a building would look like different episodes of a TV serial which are interesting and keep the reader glued to the book in anticipation of what is going to happen next. But the book becomes a drag after 250 pages, and you start to hope that all is going to end well... but as I said... the ending is very hopeless.
And also, in case you are wondering what is this title of the book. This title comes from one of the incidents in the book where the protagonist comes to know first time what is called Bombay Duck is in fact a Fish. Rest of the book has nothing to do with this title. Title was chosen probably for the reason that it draws your attention. A catchy title. Isn't it?
Anyway! what can you expect from a first-timer. Not everyone has the ability to start a story well, keep the interest of the readers till end. That is something one learns with experience or one has to be born with.
