14 reviews for The Ordeal of Gilbert Pinfold

  1. Adarsh Akula

    Not my favorite Waugh. The plot meandered, and I struggled to connect with Pinfold. Some funny moments, though.

  2. Saurish Behl

    Enjoyable, but not Waugh’s strongest work. The hallucinations felt a bit repetitive at times. Worth a read if you like his style.

  3. Samphan Rongchehon

    Waugh’s wit shines through, but Pinfold’s ordeal felt a bit too drawn out. Still, an interesting exploration of mental breakdown.

  4. Sonamsi

    A darkly comic masterpiece! Waugh’s prose is impeccable, and the story is utterly captivating. Highly recommend!

  5. Jay Dattatraya Tilekar

    Absolutely brilliant! Waugh’s satire is spot-on, and Pinfold’s journey is both hilarious and heartbreaking. A must-read.

  6. Sarthak Raj Vats

    I found it a bit slow to start, but once Pinfold’s delusions took hold, I was hooked. A unique and thought-provoking read.

  7. Abhidev Pandey

    A decent read, but not particularly memorable. Some clever moments, but overall, it didn’t leave a lasting impression.

  8. Aryan D. Rout

    Waugh at his best! Witty, satirical, and surprisingly poignant. Pinfold’s descent into madness is both tragic and funny.

  9. Lalitman Singh

    I had mixed feelings. The writing was good, but the story was strange.

  10. Aditya Kr Singh

    A clever and quirky novel! Pinfold’s hallucinations are both hilarious and disturbing. I enjoyed the writing style immensely.

  11. Priya Rai

    Interesting concept, but the execution felt a bit uneven. Pinfold’s character wasn’t particularly likable.

  12. Anmol Soni

    I struggled to get into this book. The characters were unappealing and the plot felt disjointed. Disappointing.

  13. Sachin Shah

    Waugh’s unique style shines in this tale of a man’s unraveling. The humor is dark, and the story compelling.

  14. Yash Jain

    A bizarre and fascinating story. Waugh’s writing is sharp and insightful. I was thoroughly entertained.
