  1. Ananya Katyayan

    While the story is good, I struggled with the writing style. It felt very dense and hard to engage with, despite how interesting the themes of fate, free will, and destiny were.

  2. Ashish Kumar

    Oedipus the King is a masterpiece. The exploration of fate versus free will is fascinating, though the family dynamics are disturbing.

  3. Daksh

    Not my usual genre, but I was captivated by the story. The ending is shocking and unforgettable. Highly recommend it for literature buffs.

  4. Vishakha

    A classic for a reason! Oedipus’s story is haunting and thought-provoking. The pacing felt a bit slow at times, but the ending packed a punch.

  5. Prachi Tayal

    Interesting story but slow paced. It explores fate, free will, and family ties very well. It’s a bit tough to read but it’s good

  6. Ritika Rupam

    A bit depressing, but undeniably powerful. The characters are well-developed, and the plot keeps you guessing. Worth reading!

  7. Aviral Pathania

    This book definitely makes you think. It’s a disturbing story and heavy theme, but still really, really good. I rate it well because it is one of the best classic pieces.

  8. Kratik Gupta

    The plot is so intriguing. It’s not a light read, but it is an amazing literary work. Recommend to all who love literature!

  9. Ajeet Kumar Gupta

    Good story, a little hard to follow at times. But overall, a solid read. The themes are still relevant today.

  10. Abhinav Abhinav

    Tragedy at its finest. The inevitability of Oedipus’s fate is chilling. Some of the language was a bit dense, but overall a powerful read.

  11. Nooli Siri

    Gripping and thought-provoking. It explores complex themes of family, guilt, and fate. A challenging but rewarding read. Classic!

  12. Mohammad Fahim Faisal

    It made me contemplate destiny. The writing style was archaic. I find it disturbing but masterfully written. I would read again.

  13. Aniket Sahu

    Such an interesting and great story! The only thing I did not care for was how long and descriptive each of the characters were!

  14. Sindhu Raj

    A decent read. The story is compelling, but the language is a barrier. It’s a bit dense, but a worthwhile classic to experience.

  15. Ishika Mandal

    Not my cup of tea. Found it boring and depressing, but the themes were interesting. Definitely not a light or fun read, very tragic.

  16. Janvi Aggarwal

    A classic for a reason! Oedipus the King is a timeless and heartbreaking story. Definitely worth the read, even if the ending is rough.

  17. Prasanta Basak

    I enjoyed this one more than I thought I would. It explores dark themes, but does so in a way that is masterfully written. I’ll reread

  18. Khyati Malik

    I had to read it for class, and it wasn’t as bad as I thought! The story is gripping, but the constant lamenting got a little old.
