If God was a Banker - Masala story

Last week I picked up his book 'If God was a banker'. Ravi Subramaniam is a IIM graduate and one of leading guys in HSBC India.

My views on the book

1. Easy read. (I would not recommend this to readers who are looking for literary values). I consider myself a slow reader. I finished it in 5 hrs
2. Too much of sex and sexual encounters are not needed to establish Sundeep as a immoral guy
3. It is written in colloquil Indian English (For example - Adjective 'bomb' to describe a woman,'Prepone' etc.)
4. According to the writer all Tamil Brahmins as hardworking and their integrity is above question mark. The generalisation could have been avoided
5. The story ends abruptly
6. Someone told me the book is partly a true story.May be. The mentor's name sounds quite similar a successful banker
