  1. Darshan Dann

    A bit too philosophical for my liking, but still an interesting read.

  2. Arpita Tripathi

    A fun read! The characters are quirky and the social commentary is sharp. I found it surprisingly relevant to today.

  3. Mani Prakash

    I appreciated the humor, but the language was a challenge at times. Still, a worthwhile classic.

  4. Amarnath Dutt Sharma

    A must-read for anyone interested in satire and social commentary.

  5. Kunapuli Venkata Sai Sandeep

    The satire is spot-on. I especially loved the character portrayals. Highly recommended for fans of classic literature.

  6. Lalitman Singh

    Entertaining and thought-provoking. Peacock’s writing is clever and insightful.

  7. Advik Sharma

    Good book, however, plot got a bit slow in the middle of the book. Ending could have been better

  8. Shreya Paul

    Witty and clever, but also a bit pretentious. A mixed bag, but ultimately enjoyable.

  9. Tushar Choudhary

    Characters are so well written that you feel like you’re in the novel yourself.

  10. Byreddi Sri Kavya Chandrika

    The book was okay. Nothing much going on except the humour.

  11. Himanshu Choudhary

    Nightmare Abbey was much better than Crotchet Castle, in my opinion. Still worth reading both though.

  12. Manish

    It’s an okay book. The plot is not something extraordinary.

  13. Shambhavi

    A great book, worth reading at least once!

  14. Shreya Paul

    Peacock’s dry wit is an acquired taste, but I found it very funny.

  15. Parvez Khalek

    A very enjoyable read. Peacock’s prose is excellent, and the story is great.

  16. Ayush Tiwari

    I struggled with some of the references, but the humor kept me engaged. Good, but not great.

  17. Shuvadip Sinha

    The best satirical novel I have read so far! Highly recommended

  18. Vidushi Sharma

    Peacock’s wit shines, but sometimes the satire felt a bit too dense. Enjoyable overall. Some scenes made me laugh out loud!

  19. Chirag Kapoor

    A classic for a reason. Though a little heavy, it offers deep insight into society.

  20. Avneesh Kaur

    I found it amusing, but also a bit tedious at times. Could have been shorter.

  21. Sahil Satish Dargad

    A bit slow to start, but once it gets going, it’s a delightful read.

  22. Richa Sharma

    The characters are hilarious. I highly recommend it if you want a good laugh.
