Waugh’s wit shines. The dark humor wasn’t always to my taste. An interesting but unsettling exploration of death and culture.
Arjun P –
I chuckled throughout. The depiction of Whispering Glades is both absurd and eerily realistic. A unique reading experience.
Vaani Kaushik –
The dark comedy made it difficult to follow the story sometime. Overall, it’s a good book.
Navneet Kumar –
A classic for a reason. Wickedly funny and surprisingly relevant to today’s obsession with image and superficiality.
Suniti Goel –
I loved the book. It is a fun read.
Kumar Eklavya –
Waugh’s prose is sharp as ever, and the satire is spot on. However, it’s sometimes too cynical for my liking. Still a good read!
Vedant Kaul –
Waugh’s satire is biting and hilarious, but the subject matter is quite morbid. A quick, thought-provoking read.
Abhinandan Singh –
Found it amusing and disturbing in equal measure. The characters are unforgettable, and the plot, though bizarre, kept me hooked.
Geetanjali Mukherjee –
The book was okay, but I think it’s not really a fun read.
