    This book is a masterpiece of satire! I couldn’t put it down. The rise of the newts is both hilarious and terrifying.

  3. Atul Kumar

    I was expecting more action, but it is more of a social commentary. Still, it made me think.

  4. Kashish Jain

    The plot was absurd. It felt like it dragged on at certain points. The satire felt heavy-handed to me.

  5. Saurish Behl

    A bizarre but fascinating read. The satire is sharp, but the plot felt a bit meandering at times. Still, a worthwhile classic.

  6. Anwarul Hasan

    Interesting concept, but the writing style felt a bit dated. Still, a valuable commentary on human nature.

    Original and very creative story. I enjoyed seeing the world through the eyes of Capek.

  13. Pritha Mandal

    I appreciated the underlying themes, but the story itself didn’t fully grab me. A bit too preachy at times.

  14. Nikhilesh

    The satire is biting and relevant even today. I struggled to connect with some of the human characters.

    Capek’s writing is superb. The story is both entertaining and thought-provoking. Highly recommended!

  16. Chirag

    I found it slow to start, but once the newts started evolving, I was hooked. A bit too allegorical for my taste, though.
