  1. Ashima Bhardwaj

    I loved the satirical take on social climbing! Sharpe’s writing is sharp and entertaining.

  2. Vashu Katiyar

    This book was fabulous! The plot was good and well explained.

  3. Sourav

    The social commentary is spot-on, but some of the jokes didn’t land for me. Good, but not great.

  4. Anurag Raj

    A brilliant comedy of manners! Sharpe’s at his best here. I laughed out loud several times.

  5. Tushar Goyal

    An amusing story with some memorable characters. I particularly enjoyed the interactions between Adam and his family.

  6. Arushi Bansal

    The satire is biting, but I found the ending a bit rushed. Overall, a fun and engaging novel.

  7. Aldrina Aishwarya D Rozario

    Not Sharpe’s finest work, but still a decent read for fans of British humor. I expected more.

  8. Afzal Ahmad

    I struggled to connect with the characters. The humor fell flat for me.

  9. Sanjeev Kumar Pal

    The plot was a bit convoluted, but the humor made up for it. Worth a read if you enjoy satire.

  10. Moksh Goel

    Witty, fast-paced, and thoroughly enjoyable! A perfect blend of humor and social commentary. I couldn’t put it down.

  11. Prithvi Raj Parashar

    Sharpe’s wit shines, but the plot felt a bit predictable. Still, a fun read! I enjoyed the characters a lot.

  12. Aniruddha Khohwal

    A Civil Contract had its moments, but I found the humor a bit forced at times. Not my favorite Sharpe novel, to be honest.

  13. Sreekanth S

    Hilarious and engaging! Adam’s predicament is both funny and relatable. Highly recommend!

  14. Joseph Hnunthansang

    Entertaining, but I found the characters a bit stereotypical. Still, a light and enjoyable read.
