    I found the book to be a bit of a slog. The dark humor didn’t quite land for me, and I struggled to connect with the characters.

    Interesting exploration of power and resilience. The stories are well-crafted, but the dark themes might not appeal to all readers.

    A quirky read! Some stories resonated, others less so. The satire is sharp, but at times a bit too bleak. Overall, an interesting glimpse into Polish life.

    A unique and thought-provoking collection. Some stories are more impactful than others, but overall a worthwhile experience.

    Interesting premise, but the writing style wasn’t always my cup of tea. Some stories felt unfinished. Still, the political commentary is spot-on.

    Uneven but intriguing. The stories explore complex themes with a sharp, satirical edge. Worth a read if you’re looking for something different.

    The dark humor is fantastic! A very clever take on the absurdities under totalitarian rule, if sometimes a bit bleak for my taste.

    A mixed bag. Some stories were captivating, while others were a bit confusing. The humor is definitely dark. I’d recommend it with reservations.

  16. Srishti Singh

    I appreciate the book’s attempt to address totalitarian rule, but the narrative was too disjointed for my liking. Overall, a missed opportunity.
