  1. Anirudha Gorai

    While the story is impactful, the writing style didn’t fully resonate with me. Still, a decent read for those interested in social realism.

  2. Raghvendra Pratap Singh

    Exploitation of working class is captured very well. the book can be triggering for some.

  3. Utkarsh Kumar

    The book has very simple story but beautifully written. The hardship and exploitation has been portrayed really well.

  4. C M Hrithik

    A quick read that packs a punch. It’s thought-provoking and highlights important social issues that are relevant even today.

  5. Ayush

    Hasandeen’s character is really relatable and book shows poverty and rural life very clearly, simple story with a big impact

  6. Ashish Kumar

    A good introduction to Ashk’s work. The setting is beautifully described. However, some of the socio-political commentary felt heavy-handed.

  7. Gowri Krishna V R

    A bit slow-paced, but the underlying message is powerful. I appreciated the author’s attempt to shed light on the struggles of the working class.

  8. Kartikeya Raghupatro

    I was moved by Hasandeen’s resilience. The book provides a glimpse into a different world. A worthwhile read, though quite bleak.

  9. Vaishnavi Rana

    A short but powerful read. Ashk paints a vivid picture of rural life. The ending felt a bit abrupt. The plight of Hasandeen is heartbreaking.
