  1. B Pawan Kumar

    I struggled to get into this book. The humor felt dated, and the story was disjointed. It does offer a good insight into roman culture.

  2. Himanshi Goyal

    One of the funniest books I’ve ever read! The characters are outrageous, and the situations are absurd. Highly recommend!

  3. Tanishq Kumar

    A truly unique and bizarre book. It’s not for everyone, but if you’re looking for something different, give it a try.

  4. Chaitanya Vishwajeet Bhave

    The Satyricon is a classic for a reason. The story had highs and lows, but overall very entertaining. Highly recommended.

  5. Rishabh Dwivedi

    Enjoyable but uneven. Some sections were laugh-out-loud funny, while others dragged. Still worth reading for its historical value.

  6. Pragati Bhardwaj

    Hilarious and thought-provoking. The satire is spot-on, and the characters are so well-developed. A classic for a reason!

  7. Sanjana Sadhwani

    Absolutely brilliant! A comedic masterpiece that still resonates today. The characters are unforgettable, and the writing is superb.

  8. Mrinalini Vashisht

    Trimalchio’s dinner party is legendary! The satire is sharp, but the plot meanders. I found it entertaining but not consistently engaging.

  9. Anoushka

    Fascinating glimpse into the world of ancient Rome. the satire is biting and funny. I laughed out loud several times.

  10. Shikhar Trivedi

    An interesting historical piece but not particularly enjoyable. Found it somewhat boring and hard to relate to characters.

  11. Himankita Debbarma

    A wild ride through ancient Rome! Some parts were hilarious, others a bit too vulgar for my taste. Overall, a unique and memorable read.

  12. Puneet Kajal

    A bit too fragmented and raunchy for my liking. I appreciate the historical context, but it wasn’t my cup of tea.

  13. Aditya Jain

    I had mixed feelings about this book. Some parts were brilliant, others were confusing and uninteresting. The book is okay.
