  1. Shobha Kiran

    Very enjoyable! Murr’s character is well-developed and amusing. The Kreisler storyline could be confusing.

  2. Akash

    A fun and unusual read. Murr is endlessly entertaining! The intertwined plots became tiresome after a while.

  3. Arun Baral

    This book is truly unique. I adored Murr’s character. Kreisler was a downer, but the contrast was probably the point.

  4. Ankit

    Enjoyable and quirky. Murr’s voice is strong and funny, but I struggled to connect with Kreisler’s story.

  5. Abhishek Kumar

    A truly unique read! Murr’s perspective is hilarious, though Kreisler’s story felt a bit disjointed at times. Still, a worthwhile experience.

  6. Manaswini Swami

    I found the book bizarre but captivating. Murr’s antics are endlessly amusing. However, switching narratives was confusing.

  7. Aayushi Dobhal

    The book was hard to follow but very funny when it came to cat character Murr. The writing was amazing.

  8. Muhammed Shahjas P

    A classic for a reason! The intertwined stories are clever, and Murr is comedy gold. A bit dense in places, though.

  9. Khushi Kaushik

    I will cherish this book for its sheer humor and cat perspective. The writing was little bit complex at times

  10. Aayushi Dalmia

    Quirky and thought-provoking. Murr is hilarious, but the shifting narratives made it hard to follow at times.

  11. Tanya

    The book was hilarious and enjoyable to read. It can be read once at least. Very good writing.

  12. Prasad Pandharinath Wagh

    An interesting classic. Murr is delightful, even though I found the book little hard to understand at first.

  13. Kritika Bhatia

    Loved the humor and Hoffmann’s writing style. Murr is a riot! Kreisler’s story was less engaging for me.

  14. Sankalp Mathur

    The writer’s style of writing is something I enjoyed the most and the book was very good. It could have been better

  15. Kaushal Kishor

    Hoffmann’s genius shines! Murr is an unforgettable character. Some parts were slow, but overall, a fascinating book.

  16. Vibha Ojha

    I laughed out loud! Murr’s autobiography is brilliant satire. Kreisler’s story was interesting, but distracting at times.

  17. Ankita Singh

    What a strange and wonderful book! Murr is hilarious, but the dual narrative felt uneven. Still, worth reading.

  18. Sanchita Agarwal

    It was a bit slow but enjoyable read. There were mixed feelings about the book but I would recommend it.

  19. Puneet Kajal

    A very enjoyable read and I loved the cat Murr’s character. The concept was new and I liked it.
