21 reviews for The Naked and the Dead

  1. Vriddhi Jain

    A bit verbose, but it paints a vivid picture of the Pacific theater. Definitely a classic for a reason.

  2. Sundram

    I struggled to get through this. The language was dense and the story moved slowly. It offered insight, though.

  3. Aritra Datta

    A brutal and honest portrayal of war. Some parts were hard to read, but I couldn’t put it down. Masterfully done.

  4. Nishit Kumar

    Not very engaging. It felt like it dragged, and I felt the author was trying too hard to be poetic. No thanks.

  5. Vishnuvardhan Veeravijaybabu Pinjala

    I appreciate the realism, but I found it depressing. Not my usual type of book, but I can see why it’s so acclaimed.

  6. Daksh Dagar

    I had to keep a dictionary by my side. Lots of jargon but great story once you understand it. Worth the read.

  7. Pankaj Dhalaria

    I was expecting more. It was okay, but didn’t leave a lasting impression. It felt a bit overrated to me.

  8. Shivang Agrawal

    Mailer’s masterpiece! A must-read for anyone interested in WWII or the human condition. So many layers!

  9. Priya Pandey

    Could not finish it. It has great characters, but the topic is not something I wanted to spend my time on.

  10. Satish Sharma

    A raw and unflinching look at war. Mailer doesn’t pull any punches. It was a bit long, but overall a powerful read.

  11. Rishabh Nayak

    It was long but the book depicts the war beautifully and with very little filter. Recommended for war history buffs.

  12. Airene Ganguly

    A powerful story, beautifully written. It gave me a new appreciation for the sacrifices made during WWII.

  13. Vaishnavi Kandwal

    An intense and thought-provoking novel. The themes of power and masculinity are very relevant today.

  14. Ravinder Kumar

    The book has very colorful language. But the author potrays the raw emotion, fear and anxiety quite well.

  15. Arshia Arora

    Mailer’s prose is captivating, but the sheer brutality of the war scenes was overwhelming at times. A difficult, but important book.

  16. Priyanshu Ranjan

    The characters were well-developed, and the writing was strong. The plot dragged in places. Still a classic worth reading.

  17. Adarsh Singh

    It is definitely a great book. There is a reason why it’s a timeless classic.

  18. Lakshmi Anusha Wudali

    I could not put it down until I was done reading the book. The writing is superb, but the story can be quite depressing.

  19. Shikhar Batra

    The scope of the novel is impressive. It’s a challenging read, but ultimately rewarding. Loved the perspectives.

  20. Apurv Chaduvula

    Definitely a classic war novel. The writing is superb, but the story can be quite depressing. Be prepared for it.

  21. Jayant Sangra

    Too much detail for me. I understand the historical importance, but I couldn’t connect with the characters.
