Kabir Nagpal –
I loved the satirical edge! Hanif’s writing is sharp and engaging. The characters were memorable, though the plot got a little convoluted for me.
Aman Arora –
Absolutely hilarious! A must-read for anyone who enjoys political satire. It’s a great story, but the cultural context is hard to understand.
Prasasth Peter Varigeti –
It started strong, but lost momentum in the middle. The characters were interesting, but their motivations felt unclear toward the end.
Ayush Bhatnagar –
A fascinating glimpse into Pakistani politics. Some parts dragged, but the ending was worth it. Not a light read, but thought-provoking.
Lakshita Khurana –
The humor is brilliant! A clever and subversive novel. The constant shifts in tone, however, made me a little uncomfortable. Still a worthwhile read.
Ekansh Khandelwal –
Found it slow-paced and confusing at times. The political context was interesting, but hard to follow if you lack that background knowledge.
Dipanshu Bhoj –
I was expecting more. It was okay, but not the page-turner I hoped for. Some very funny parts, but it did not hold my attention throughout the story.
Mrinmay Saha –
A darkly funny take on a serious subject. The political intrigue kept me hooked, but the humor felt a bit too much at times. Overall, a decent read.
Shikhar Pratap –
A unique blend of comedy and tragedy. Hanif’s writing is top-notch. The story is dense and it demands attention. It’s a tough, but rewarding read.
