Loved it! A great example of Burroughs’ unique style. The themes of rebellion and control are fascinating. Totally recommend this book.
Aditi Singh –
I loved the chaotic energy of this book! Kim Carson is iconic. A must-read for anyone interested in experimental literature.
Nikita Chauhan –
This book is either genius or utter madness. I’m still not sure which. The imagery is wild, and the themes are thought-provoking.
Ravi Verma –
I expected more. It’s a decent read, but not among my favorites. Felt a bit disjointed and hard to follow.
P Kartik Patro –
I wanted to like it, but it was too much. Burroughs is clearly talented, but this book just didn’t resonate with me at all. Shame.
Karanveer Singh Marwaha –
A challenging read, even for a Burroughs fan. The plot is all over the place, but there are moments of brilliance. Kim Carson is a great character!
Monika Vemala –
Weird, wild, and wonderful. This book is a trip. Buckle up and enjoy the ride. You won’t regret it.

Burroughs does Burroughs. If you like his style, you’ll enjoy this weird western. If you don’t… well, steer clear. It was different, for sure.
Prince Sant –
Burroughs combines the Wild West with sci-fi in a way only he could. It’s bizarre, funny, and thought-provoking. I enjoyed the satire.
Manik Lakhwani –
Interesting concept, but poorly executed. I found it hard to connect with the characters. The plot felt weak and all over the place.
Vishesh Mishra –
A wild and entertaining ride through Burroughs’ imagination. The characters are unforgettable, and the story is surprisingly engaging.
Aayush Kumar Singh –
Confusing and disjointed. I struggled to follow the plot. Maybe it’s just not for me. Gave up halfway through. Just couldn’t.

A mixed bag. There are moments of brilliance, but overall, the book is too chaotic. I appreciate the experimentation.
Debayan Maji –
Burroughs at his most experimental. Not his best, but definitely interesting. Be prepared for a bizarre ride. I found it okay.
Rahul Meena –
Definitely not for everyone. It can be hard to follow but I find it really interesting. Definitely worth the read if you are into weird stuff.

A true original! Burroughs pushes boundaries and challenges expectations. This book is not for the faint of heart.
