this let the Dork out by Sidin Vadukut

"Who let the Dork out?" by Sidin Vadukut - The graph comes down!
This book is published by Penguin Books in 2012 and has 260 pages. This is Book 3 of the Dork trilogy. 

Robin 'Einstein' Varghese is now Interim CEO of Ledermam India. He decides to venture in government contracts by getting involved in Allied games organized by Government of India. The games are running very very behind schedule. 

Will he get a contract? Can he make a headway? Will Einstein's "genius" work? Will he get fired or blamed or both?

The book follows the set formula where Robin lands in one trouble after another due to his ineptitude to somehow miraculously, not only, survive but also come out trumps. 

However, in this book Robin thinks more. He makes a few calculated moves. Towards end he is even decisive and manipulative. This is the difference between Robin of past and Robin of present. This is also the reason the book loses its USP. Robin becomes a normal man rather than exceptional character. As a result this book does not appeal, as much as, the previous two books. It also uses much more foul language than previous books. 

Author leaves a few things vague. Is it by design or does he give too much credit to the readers? How does Rajeev get hold of the documents? John knowing Colonel Kalbag, is too much of a coincidence. What exactly happens in marathon?

All in all, not as good as first two books. The graph comes down. 

Why did I read this book? Ravi recommended the trilogy.  
What did I like? The Tihar jail and Tihar Bala parody. 
What I didn't like? Predictably. 

Read if you have read Book 1 and 2.
