Uneven, but ultimately worthwhile. Kipling’s skill as a storyteller shines through, even when the subject matter is dark. I recommend it.

Kipling at his best and worst. The prose is beautiful, but the themes are often troubling. A complex and challenging read.

A powerful, if unsettling, look at colonial India. Kipling’s writing is evocative, but the subject matter can be quite heavy. Not for the faint of heart, but definitely memorable.

Raw and unflinching. Kipling doesn’t shy away from the darker side of humanity. A thought-provoking, if uncomfortable, read.

Interesting collection of stories. Some were captivating, others less so. Kipling’s descriptions are vivid, but I struggled with some of the cultural perspectives.
