  2. Akhilesh Sajeev

    Hardy’s prose is beautiful, but the story felt a bit slow-paced for me. Still, a classic worth reading.

  3. Name

    Amazing book, I could not put it down. The characters are so real and developed.

  4. Kodavali Samarpana Rao

    Found the plot predictable. The writing was good, but not enough to make it enjoyable.

    The descriptions of Egdon Heath are stunning. I found the characters relatable and the plot engaging.

  6. Piyush Kumar

    The old English was hard to follow. The story overall felt a bit boring.

    Overrated and underwhelming. The characters were shallow, and the plot lacked depth. Expected more from Hardy.

    It was a great book, though a bit slow. The characters were great and the ending was sad.

  13. Gaurav Pingolia

    A powerful and moving story, even if it is a bit bleak. Definitely worth a read.

    A bit depressing, but Hardy’s exploration of fate is thought-provoking.

    A classic for a reason! Though the language is a bit dense at times.

  16. Yash Raj Kesarwani

    Hardy at his best! A tragic tale of love and ambition, beautifully written.

    A true classic, explores themes of passion, isolation, and the power of nature. A must-read for lovers of literature.

  18. Nishit Muralia

    I struggled to connect with the characters. The ending was particularly unsatisfying.
