  1. Roshan Kumar

    Waugh’s writing is sharp, but the story felt disjointed at times. Liked the Mugg scenes, Crete was a bit depressing. Not sure if I loved it or just liked it.

  2. Pallavi Singh Rana

    One of the best books I’ve read in a while. The humor is dark and the story is compelling. Guy is an unforgettable character.

  3. Deepti

    A powerful story of war and its impact. Some parts were hard to read, but ultimately a worthwhile and thought-provoking experience.

  4. Gaurav Assnani

    Enjoyable, but not my favorite Waugh novel. The Mugg scenes were great, but the Crete section was tough to get through.

  5. Saif Rahman

    A good read overall, but I found some parts a bit slow. The humor is definitely there, though! I enjoyed Guy’s journey, despite its ups and downs.

  6. Kanishk Garg

    This book is incredible. Deep, funny, and heartbreaking all at once. It offers a unique perspective on war and human nature.

  7. Sanket Vilas Bansod

    Exceptional! Evelyn Waugh’s writing is brilliant. A perfect blend of wit and tragedy. I couldn’t put it down. Loved Guy’s journey.

  8. Prateek

    It was fine. Nothing groundbreaking, but a decent way to spend a few hours. It was little slow paced for me though.

  9. Mukul Singh Patel

    I was expecting more, honestly. The writing is good, but the plot felt a bit meandering. Still, a decent historical fiction read.

  10. Aahana Moral

    Absolutely loved it! The characters are so well-drawn, and the story is both funny and heartbreaking. A true masterpiece!

  11. Sourav Singh

    A must-read for fans of historical fiction! Waugh’s writing is superb, and the story is both engaging and deeply moving.!

  12. Ajay Kumar Nagar

    A bit uneven, but overall a good book. The war scenes are particularly well-written, though the pacing could be improved.

  13. Aditya Ugam Dive

    Fantastic book! The humor mixed with the war’s reality is brilliant. Guy’s character is so well-developed. Highly recommend!

  14. Rohit Raghuji Ambavane

    I had mixed feelings. The writing is beautiful, but the story felt a little disjointed and the ending a bit abrupt. Still worth reading.

  15. Khushbu Yadav

    Found it a bit slow-paced, and I struggled to connect with Guy at first. It did pick up towards the end, making it a worthwhile read.

  16. Esha Pareek

    Enjoyed the humor and the depiction of camaraderie. Some parts dragged, but overall a solid and thought-provoking read.

  17. Aman Dalal

    An interesting look at war, but it didn’t completely grab me. The characters were well-developed, but the plot felt a bit slow.
