The Plot
Every story is born with a purpose. It is not just a story but it also a way to convince life’s hard lessons in an interesting style. That’s what Confused Bastards represents. 

The story also represents today’s confused youth with their high aspirations. They are knowledgeable; they are eager to learn fast but clearly fail to catch the pace with life when the storm arrives right at the door. It’s because when the storm enters inside, the direction is lost, closing the door of possibilities behind them unless they lend an ear to listen patiently to life’s experiences. Those experiences that come from seasoned people who were once teenagers but our confused bastards – (Jai, Aakash & Vivek) go with their own way. 

The story is about three friends and their life’s struggles. Each is from different background with some aspirations. They start an online platform to let the people vent their anger about politics, corruption, girlfriends and almost everything. Soon videos put up on this platform start becoming viral booming their business unaware the fact that it was purely based on a fickle direction & certainly lacked experience. 

Will they succeed in their ultimate goal of achieving something in life? Will their business last for life? Will they be able to understand the importance of relationships or will they continue with their self-acclaimed right ways? Buy book at Flipkart or Amazon & know why Confused Bastards!

Review
Confused Bastards is a fresh, witty story written by the author Manav Vigg. The story certainly has a purpose to serve not only to the youth of this country but everyone who relates to Jai, Aakash & Vivek. Their characters are inspired from daily life. Initially, the story starts on a light note eventually ending on a bit deeper note. The author forces our heroes to give some serious thought to their lives through this story helping them to find their life’s real purpose in a meaningful manner. 

Confused Bastards is a soul-stirring experience where one can learn about life’s lessons, overcome with failures & giving strength to revive failed relationships. 

The story nicely sums up various aspects of life in an engaging way when last few chapters of the story suddenly takes a slow flow as if testing reader’s own patience.


 

At the opening of the story author manages to make us laugh. On the other hand, sudden philosophical move in the last few chapters is a pleasant surprise for readers. 





Few pages of the story seem to lose a direction but the author seemed to cover up well in 215 pages of this novel. Also, humor with a sexual overtone can be a turn-off, especially among those who do not enjoy much. 



The Writing Style
The writing style is very simple to understand without any complication to our multi-wired brain. 

The Book Cover & The Title
The book cover & the title are very apt to the storyline. Once you start reading the novel, you’ll understand why the book cover has a riddle design.

My Rating: 4/5
I would definitely recommend this book to all those readers who enjoy not so lengthy stories. One can easily finish this book on one of the lazy Sundays. Overall, Manav Vigg’s attempt is highly commendable
