  1. Govind Garg

    Found it a bit slow at times, but the insights into human nature are profound.

  2. Preethika E

    One of the best books I have read. Amazing story and character.

  3. Ritika Semwal

    A profound and thought-provoking novel. Pechorin is a fascinating study in character.

  4. Dhruv Chandra

    Not my usual genre, but I found it surprisingly engaging. Some parts are hard to digest.

  5. Shivam Swami

    Beautifully written, but Pechorin’s actions are often deplorable. Great translation.

  6. Dev Yadav

    An excellent exploration of a flawed hero. Lermontov’s writing is timeless.

  7. Nikhil Jha

    Ira Pande’s translation is superb. Lermontov’s hero is quite the anti-hero.

  8. Khushi Sharma

    Lermontov’s insights into human psychology are remarkable. A definite classic.

  9. Deependra Kumar

    Pande’s translation is easy to read and understand. Pechorin is a rogue.

  10. Divya Manwani

    A must-read for Russian literature fans. Pechorin is unforgettable, in a bad way.

  11. Arman Ahmad

    A true masterpiece! Pechorin’s complexity is what makes him so compelling.

  12. Bashar Khan

    A compelling read! Pechorin’s cynicism is fascinating. Highly recommend this translation.

  13. Kamini Bhandari

    The atmosphere of the Caucasus is vividly brought to life. Pechorin, not a fan.

  14. Gorika Goyal

    Good translation of an classic novel.

  15. Hardik Sharma

    I struggled to connect with the characters. Good classic to have read.

  16. Atharva Rao

    A bit heavy on philosophy for my taste, but still a worthwhile read.

  17. Ritika

    Loved the descriptions of the Caucasus. Pechorin is a complex character, but hard to like.

  18. Sanjana Sadhwani

    Found the pacing uneven. Some parts were captivating, others dragged.

  19. Nitesh Kumar

    Ira Pande does a wonderful job capturing Lermontov’s voice. Pechorin is intriguing.

  20. Samridh Shakya

    Enjoyed the historical context and the depiction of the Caucasus. Pechorin is so unlikeable.

  21. Sagnik Chakravarty

    A classic, but Pechorin is so frustrating! The translation is great though.

  22. Vinit Yadav

    The story is engaging, but Pechorin’s constant self-doubt got tiresome.
