    This book really made me question my own relationships and desires. Deeply unsettling, but ultimately enriching. Highly recommended.

    Interesting concepts, but the writing style was a bit dry. I struggled to stay engaged at times. Expected more depth in the topic.

  4. Anubhav Singh –

    I had mixed feelings about this book. Some parts were brilliant, others were confusing and inaccessible.

    Good insights on human nature. Not for everyone, but it can be helpful if you need some philosophical help with modern-day relationships.

    A powerful and insightful exploration of the human condition. Kiberd’s writing is both elegant and provocative. A must-read!

    A fascinating, albeit sometimes frustrating, journey into the complexities of intimacy. Definitely made me think!

    This book is a masterpiece. Kiberd’s insights are profound and his writing is beautiful. The book is an intellectual and emotional journey.

    I enjoyed the philosophical aspects, but found the psychoanalysis a little heavy-handed. Still, a worthwhile read for those interested in the subject.

    Kiberd offers interesting insights, but the book felt a bit dense at times. I appreciated the intellectual depth, but wished for more accessibility.

    It’s a book to take your time reading. Some parts resonated deeply, others I had to reread multiple times.
