God save the Dork by Sidin Vadukut

"God save the Dork" by Sidin Vadukut - Same  formula, new problem.
This book is published by Penguin Books.  This edition was published in 2011 and has 242 pages. It's Book 2 of Dork series. This book was recommended and lent by Ravi.

Robin 'Einstein' Varghese, is on secondment to Lederman, London for Dufresne. Here he works on front loaded remuneration for Lederman CEO, Tom. Tom has a game plan where Robin is going to play a vital role.

What new blunders does Robin make? Can he come out of them? What is Tom plotting? Will Robin be fired? What has London in store for the Dork?

Adventures, or rather misadventures, of Robin 'Einstein' Varghese continue. He over rates himself, commits blunders, causes havoc, creates chaos but somehow manages to extricate himself from the situation at the end and returns victorious with  the help of pure luck.

The story keeps you interested. Robin makes  one goof-up after another but somehow survives to live another day. Although this book is not as hilarious as the first one, it's not bad. 

The set up of story in this book is different, context is different, situations are different.  However, the formula of this book remains the same as previous one. Either the author is short on imagination or he doesn't want to change the winning formula. 

Book ends with Robin returning to India to start a new inning. Gouri, after seduction, is now a love-hate object for Robin. She will play a bigger role in the next book. 

Story of first book happened in India. Story of this book happens in England. Third book will again happen in India. 

Why did I read this book? Book 1 was good. 
What I didn't like? Excessive use of F**** word. 
What did I like?  Winning formula.   

If you have read first book, read this. Otherwise read the first book.
