I appreciate the historical context, but I struggled with the outdated language and some of the problematic depictions. Ultimately, not my favorite classic.
Mahak –
Found the story slow-paced and a bit rambling in places. The themes are important, but the execution didn’t fully grab me. Had trouble connecting with the characters.
Aditya Bisht –
A powerful read, but the language was a bit dense at times. Still thought-provoking and worth the effort. Explores the dark side of human nature.
Gurpreet Singh –
The story is good. I enjoyed the journey but the writing style felt dated, making it a challenge to fully immerse myself in the narrative. An important book nonetheless.
Jayesh –
I felt conflicted. the imagery was powerful, but the narrative felt unnecessarily convoluted at times. it took me a while to fully appreciate the book.
