Vedang Singhal –
One of the greatest American novels ever written. Farrell’s portrayal of Studs Lonigan is both tragic and unforgettable. A must-read for any serious reader.
Wagisha Mittal –
I found the book depressing and hard to read. While the description and writing were impeccable, the main character was not relatable.
Uday Teja Gudaparthi –
I struggled to get through this book. The writing felt dense, and I didn’t connect with the characters. It just was not for me.
Saurabh –
A truly remarkable book. Farrell’s writing is superb, and the story is both heartbreaking and inspiring. A classic for a reason. Recommended.
Anant Jain –
An important book, but a tough one to love. The social commentary is sharp, but the overall tone is quite depressing. It’s an achievement.
Tanisha –
Studs Lonigan is a powerful, albeit depressing, look at a life unfulfilled. Farrell’s writing is strong, but the bleakness can be overwhelming. Not a feel-good read, but an important one.
Sabhya Singh –
An American masterpiece. Studs Lonigan’s journey is a cautionary tale, brilliantly told. A must-read for anyone interested in American literature.

Not my cup of tea. I appreciate the historical context, but I found the story slow and the characters unlikeable. I struggled.

Saksham Kumar Srivastava –
I found Studs to be a frustrating character. While the book is well-written, I struggled to connect with him or his choices. Worth reading for the historical context.

An absolute masterpiece! Farrell’s prose is stunning, and the story is both tragic and beautiful. A book that will stay with you long after you finish reading.
Kaiwalya Sanjay Gawande –
While I appreciate the historical significance, I didn’t find the story particularly engaging. Studs himself was not very likeable, which made it hard to invest.
Faizan Ali –
A classic for a reason. The stark realism of Studs’s downward spiral is captivating, even if it’s hard to watch. Highly recommend.
Shreya N –
Farrell paints a vivid picture of Chicago in the early th century. The story is engaging and thought-provoking. Definitely a must-read for fans of American literature.
Rohit Raj Sinha –
I had mixed feelings. The writing is good, but the story is relentlessly bleak. Studs’ choices are frustrating. But it is good literature.
Sahil Chahal –
A raw and unflinching look at the American Dream gone wrong. Studs Lonigan is a complex and flawed character, and his story is both heartbreaking and compelling.
Raghav Goyal –
A bit slow-paced for my taste, but the character development is excellent. Studs’s decline is heartbreaking. I am unsure if I liked it but I felt something.
Piyush Sonthalia –
Studs Lonigan is a gritty and realistic portrayal of a young man’s life. It’s not always easy to read, but it’s a powerful and unforgettable experience.
