A thought-provoking novel that challenges your perspectives. Some dark humor. Great novel.

Calvino’s writing is beautiful, but I struggled to connect with Pin. The war felt distant. Still, a worthwhile read.
Japneet Singh Nayyar –
Good story. Pin’s struggles with identity amidst war are super interesting.
Arpita Tirkey –
A powerful and moving story. The ending was particularly poignant. I am a bit confused at some places though.
Sahil Satish Dargad –
Calvino’s style takes some getting used to, but stick with it. The Path to the Spiders’ Nests offers a compelling look at war and innocence.
Vaishnavi Sanjay Bhandari –
The descriptions are vivid, and the story is engaging. Pin is very different, yet endearing. I was pleasantly surprised.
Sanjeev Kumar Pal –
I loved the lyrical prose and the exploration of morality. It is not a light read, but the plot is rewarding.
Tarun –
A unique perspective on WWII through a child’s eyes. Some parts were confusing, but the overall message resonated with me. I am glad I read it.
Akash Roy –
Pin is an irritating character, but that’s the point. Calvino captures the awkwardness of adolescence perfectly. A bit slow at times.
Khyati Bhardwaj –
I wanted to love it, but it felt disjointed. Too many ideas, not enough connection. I would not recommend it.
Kanak Singhal –
Found it a bit pretentious and hard to follow. The characters weren’t relatable. It wasn’t for me.
