8 reviews for Devil on the Cross

  1. Name

    An important book, but not always an easy read. The social commentary is sharp, but the characters could have been more developed. It made me think, though.

  2. Aryama Das

    I found it a bit slow to start, but once it got going, I was hooked. Wariinga’s resilience is inspiring, even in the face of so much adversity.

  3. Anurag Agrawal

    An absolute must-read! Ngugi’s writing is powerful and moving. This book will stay with me for a long time. The characters are so vibrant.

  4. Aditi Singh

    The satire is biting, and the story is engaging. Some parts felt a little dated, but the overall message is timeless. An interesting read.

  5. Renuka Singh

    A powerful, if somewhat heavy-handed, critique of post-colonial Kenya. Wariinga’s story is compelling, but the symbolism can be a bit much at times. Still worth a read.

  6. Ravneet Singh

    Ngugi’s passion shines through, though the narrative felt a little disjointed in places. The themes are incredibly relevant, even today. Provocative and thought-provoking!

  7. Himanshu Gautam

    Devil on the Cross is unforgettable. The author’s message cuts deep, and the story stays with you long after you finish reading. A masterpiece!

  8. Sourabh Singh Tomar

    A bit dense, but ultimately rewarding. The exploration of capitalism’s impact is insightful. This is a good book to read if you want to challenge your views.
