  1. Anusha Goil

    Laxman’s humor is subtle yet powerful. A great commentary on Indian society. A bit verbose, could have been shorter.

  2. Jaya

    The Common Man is an icon. This collection is a fitting tribute to Laxman’s legacy. It needed better organization.

  3. Sakshi Yogendra Kasat

    A good book for passing time. A good gift for elders. Should be purchased only in discount.

  4. Nivedita Rawat

    This book brought back so many memories. Laxman’s art is timeless. The printing quality could have been better.

  5. Ayush Gupta

    Found myself chuckling throughout the book. Laxman’s wit is unmatched. But I felt it could have been more diverse.

  6. Jayant Tomar

    Enjoyed the political satire. Laxman had a unique way of capturing the Indian essence. Slightly repetitive at times.

  7. Sanskar Maheshwari

    A good book that captures India’s essence. Some jokes are funny. However, some jokes are offensive and demeaning.

  8. Aditya Katole

    A delightful trip down memory lane! Laxman’s observations are as relevant today as they were decades ago. Some jokes felt a bit dated, but overall a great read.

  9. Shashank Pathak

    Laxman’s genius shines through. The Common Man’s struggles are so relatable. I wish there was more context for younger readers, though.

  10. Kanishk Kumar

    A must-have for any Indian literature lover. Laxman’s perspective is unparalleled. Few cartoons did not resonate with me.

  11. Shreyas Das

    An excellent collection of cartoons. Laxman’s observations are spot-on. The jokes felt a little stale in some instances.

  12. Suraj Upadhyay

    I enjoyed the book, it gave me a new outlook on the world. Although funny at times, it does lack depth.

  13. Vipin Kumar

    A classic! R.K. Laxman’s cartoons are a treasure. Some cartoons are difficult to understand due to lack of background information.

  14. Janani Sree

    The book is a mirror of Indian society. Some topics are difficult to understand for foreigners, but worth the purchase.

  15. Sachin Azad

    It provides a unique perspective on India’s issues. A wonderful way to honor RK Laxman. The drawing is simple and artistic.

  16. Neelank Bihani

    Found some jokes to be funny. Illustrations are great, but a better quality paper should have been used.
